docs: "snapcraft pack" did not work
Metadata
Current evaluation
The reporter accidentally replaced snapcraft init’s YAML stanzas, removing the required confinement field, then acknowledged the editing error.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: A maintainer showed that the reporter had replaced the generated stanza containing “confinement: devmode”; the reporter confirmed this was their mistake. Documentation follow-up was tracked internally as SNAPCRAFT-1260.

Running the tutorial in a fresh LXD ubuntu:24.04 VM got me:

Bad snapcraft.yaml content:
- field 'confinement' required in top-level configuration
```
