Enhancement request for machine-readable (JSON) output from the `status` command. Triaged and explicitly blocked by craft-cli#278 (output format support), which remains open. Last activity 494 days ago.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is triaged (labeled 'Status: Triaged') and explicitly blocked by canonical/craft-cli#278 per mr-cal's 2025-04-24 comment. That blocking issue is still open, so this remains a valid, scoped enhancement waiting on an external dependency. Other snapcraft commands (metrics, names, validation-sets) already support --format, confirming the pattern is established.
