inaccurate error for a misformatted app name
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 7.2.7 reports the first app name when the later ccc_ccc app key is invalid; the report remains untriaged with no comments, labels, or confirmed fix.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The body provides a complete Snapcraft 7.2.7 manifest and reports that invalid ccc_ccc is incorrectly diagnosed as aaa-aaa. However, the emitted error is omitted, and the issue has received no maintainer response or categorization, so triage is needed; the impact is primarily a misleading diagnostic.
