Current evaluation

Maintainer-authored task to set indent_size=2 for RST files in .editorconfig (and decide for Markdown / max_line_length). Still open: current .editorconfig only sets ij_visual_guides for *.{md,rst}.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The reported gap still exists at HEAD: .editorconfig sets `indent_size = 4` in `[*]` and the `[{*.markdown,*.md,*.rst}]` block only adds `ij_visual_guides = none`, with no `indent_size` for RST/Markdown. The file has been touched since (e.g. 79fa93c 'feat: format toml files with tombi (#597)', 68d8d79 '#305') without addressing this, so nothing resolved it. It stays open as a valid maintainer-filed task, but actionability is capped because the issue itself leaves two open decisions ("What indent_size should we have for markdown?" and "Should we be setting max_line_length to 88 for these too?") with no recorded answer, and medubelko's only comment ("Executing this could be a good early task for JJ") is a scheduling suggestion rather than a decision.

Issue body

Per @medubelko in https://github.com/canonical/charmcraft/pull/2010#discussion_r1893254055 - `indent_size` for RST files should be 2. Remaining questions: 1. What `indent_size` should we have for markdown? 2. Should we be setting max_line_length to 88 for these too?
