Remove errors for removed commands
Metadata
Current evaluation
Triaged Snapcraft 10 cleanup to remove temporary errors and hidden shims for commands deprecated in Snapcraft 8; still pending in the Snapcraft 9 codebase.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue explicitly defers this cleanup to Snapcraft 10, while the current release notes list Snapcraft 9.1 and source still contains RemovedCommand plus hidden shims such as StoreLegacyListCommand and SnapCommand, so no resolving change is present. Its Triaged and Cleanup labels and explicit list of commands and options make it a valid, well-scoped task to keep open.
