feat(snapcraft_legacy): support verbosity args
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged as commit 3aeded2fa: snapcraft_legacy core20 commands now accept craft-cli verbosity args/env vars, with --enable-developer-debug as alias for --verbosity=debug. Follow-up #5680 (4a7663069) extended it to non-lifecycle commands.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The PR itself was merged to main as commit 3aeded2fa, fixing issue #5423 (SNAPCRAFT-1043) by wiring craft-application/craft-cli verbosity handling into the snapcraft_legacy emitter and command groups. A follow-up PR #5680 (4a7663069) added verbosity support to non-lifecycle legacy commands; the remaining follow-up issue #5658 was closed won't-fix once snapcraft_legacy was removed.
