craft-parts issue #1644	Add explanation for how `organize` works Related work	lengau	113d	keep open	38	84	24	A maintainer-requested explanation of organize is still missing; a contributor volunteered a focused page and a correction to the existing build-area-to-stage wording.
craft-providers issue #795	Verify present addresses when adding a remote	bepri	450d	keep open	38	68	16	Enhancement remains open: RemoteImage.add_remote checks only remote_name, so an existing address under another LXC remote name is not detected; address-level handling and tests are missing.

charmcraft issue #2578	docs: The usage parameters show up as None	famulu	258d	keep open	38	90	27	Generated `charmcraft release` reference documentation renders required arguments as `<None>` because the docs generator uses null argparse metavars; the triaged issue remains unresolved.

Partly addressed by merged craft-parts PR #1547 and the include_files how-to, but the Keys section still has no per-key type/default/description; maintainer asked about reader context.

craft-application issue #922	Reference documentation about services in general Related work	lengau	406d	keep open	38	76	19	Triaged documentation work to broaden and rename the services reference, clarify what a service is, and make AppService secondary; the current app.rst remains AppService-only.
craft-application issue #685	overlayfs tests break on plucky	lengau	597d	needs triage	38	74	12	Plucky's AppArmor profile denies fuse-overlayfs mounts, breaking a lifecycle integration test; the report has a reproducer and audit log, but no triage, confirmed root cause, fix, or implementation link.
craft-application issue #338	`pack` command gives wrong help message and doesn't support packing a directory Related work	mr-cal	918d	close resolved	38	76	19	Resolved: commit 13230eda removed the bogus pack part argument, and 309aa73b added a project-loading override for application-specific directory pack commands.
craft-cli issue #68	Better output information when requesting help for a command with bad... Related work	facundobatista	1704d	keep open	38	92	26	Command help still rejects extra command arguments; help close --bad-args should select close and render its help instead of reporting too many parameters.

craft-parts issue #427	Using `source-subdir` results in `No such file or directory` Related work	sed-i	1287d	close not a bug	38	90	19	Documented behavior: source-subdir sets the plugin build location, but override-build runs from the build root; callers must cd into the subdirectory themselves.

craft-parts issue #838	Validate snapd payload	sergiusens	787d	needs triage	38	62	16	Validate snapd API JSON payloads in craft_parts/packages/snaps.py; raw json()["result"] access is still unvalidated, so TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable can still surface. Maintainer-filed, no labels, no comments, untriaged.
charmcraft issue #2087	Better document how platform names work Related work	lengau	657d	close resolved	38	82	25	Platform-name documentation now covers valid arbitrary names, recommended names, multi-base conventions, and shorthand requirements, resolving the original documentation gap.

rockcraft issue #1280	Docs: Tutorials assume an `amd64` host which causes `platforms:` and `.rock`... Related work	minulo	126d	keep open	38	85	23	Docs bug: hello-world, pyfiglet and Node.js tutorials hardcode `amd64` in `.rock` filenames/skopeo commands, breaking copy-paste on arm64 hosts. Maintainer assigned; fix in open PR #1289, not yet merged.
craft-application pr #1162	fix: fail fast on unsupported lifecycle bases Related work	lengaubot	79d	needs review	38	76	25	Reorders the unsupported-base check ahead of lifecycle initialization to avoid an unnecessary LXC profile lookup; all completed checks pass, while several remain pending and review is pending.

Triaged and volunteer PR #6292 open, but core18 references remain in specify-a-base, list-extensions, change-bases and example recipes.
craft-providers issue #969	BuilddBaseAlias enum lookup raises bare ValueError — should raise a typed error Related work	tonyandrewmeyer	156d	close resolved	38	94	28	Resolved: compatibility checks now catch unknown host and guest Ubuntu VERSION_IDs and skip validation instead of leaking BuilddBaseAlias ValueError; no typed error was added.

charmcraft issue #2233	charmcraft should complain if the charm contains a bundle Related work	PietroPasotti	590d	needs triage	38	70	19	Feature request: charmcraft pack should error/warn when the produced charm contains a bundle.yaml, since juju deploy then deploys the bundle instead of the charm. Clear repro, but no maintainer triage or labels.
craft-providers issue #383	bumping the compatibility tag should be more robust Related work	mr-cal	1176d	keep open	38	84	22	Tests still hardcode buildd-base-v7 while production derives it from Base.compatibility_tag, leaving compatibility-tag bumps vulnerable to inconsistent test updates.

debcraft issue #140	Handle unquoted multi-arch: no Related work	cmatsuoka	193d	needs triage	38	62	17	Unquoted YAML no becomes a boolean and fails multi-arch validation with a generic error; the fix is undecided between clearer guidance and accepting false as an alias.
craft-application issue #1015	Improve craft tool dev experience with destructive mode Related work	bepri	261d	needs triage	38	65	10	Root-run destructive packing leaves root-owned lifecycle directories, blocking later non-root packing; the UX request remains untriaged with no selected solution.
