Current evaluation

Request to add a model validation error when override scripts use snapcraftctl, linking to migration docs. Parent issue #5754 (removing the wrapper) was closed/abandoned; core26-specific error was already implemented in PR #5983. Issue is 347 days old with no further activity.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The parent issue #5754 (removing the snapcraftctl wrapper) was closed as abandoned to avoid breaking core22/core24 builds, and the core26-specific validation error was already implemented in PR #5983 ('feat!: error on snapcraftctl for core26'). The broader scope of erroring on all bases was explicitly dropped, making the remaining ask moot. 347 days of inactivity with only a Jira bot comment confirms no active work.

    Parent issue about removing the snapcraftctl compatibility wrapper; closed/abandoned because it would break core22 and core24 builds.

  • Likely Fixed By: canonical/snapcraft#5983 (confidence 75%)

    Commit eaadefa01 'feat!: error on snapcraftctl for core26' implements the validation error for core26, which is the only base where snapcraftctl is fully removed. The broader all-bases scope was abandoned with #5754.
