Feature request to mediate gadget.yaml and kernel.yaml creation via craft-application 7.1.0 API. The feature has been implemented and merged in PR #6369.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The feature described in this issue was implemented and merged in PR #6369 ("feat: mediate creation of gadget.yaml and kernel.yaml"). The current code in snapcraft/services/package.py shows that _get_gadget_yaml and _get_kernel_yaml methods now use craft-application's mediated packaging API via _read_project_metadata_file(). Since the feature was implemented elsewhere, the issue is no longer applicable.
