"snapcraft list-keys" fails on macOS 15.1.1 (24B91)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Untriaged macOS/Homebrew failure in Snapcraft 8.4.4: list-keys invokes snap keys --json, which cannot resolve /proc/self/fd/0; no maintainer response or resolution is recorded.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The report provides exact versions, stderr, and a complete traceback; current _get_usable_keys() directly invokes snap keys --json and only tests generic subprocess failure. With no labels, comments, assignee, direct subprocess result, or maintainer assessment, the macOS platform contract and root cause need triage.

Commit 30c9fcd19 migrated key management; current code makes list-keys a removed alias for keys, but this does not demonstrate that snap keys works on macOS.
