craft-parts issue #1641	uv plugin fails on core26: dispatch script uses system Python instead of venv Related work	zyga	106d	needs triage	62	72	19	core26 has no Python in the base snap, so uv-built parts find no interpreter in the payload and fall back to the system python, leaving venv/bin/python pointing at a bare interpreter that lacks ops. Fix options undecided.
craft-parts issue #1780	A part's install directory doesn't get cleaned if the prior build failed. Related work	lengau	7d	needs triage	60	80	38	Install directory not cleaned after failed build, causing subsequent builds to fail with unclear errors. New issue with no labels or maintainer response.

craft-parts issue #822	[Python plugin]: Consider including a rust compiler by default	lengau	800d	needs triage	58	63	21	Open, untriaged request to provision Rust by default for Python native-extension builds; the current Python v2 plugin requests neither build snaps nor build packages.
craft-parts issue #1026	Part's source directory needs to be read-only	vpa1977	609d	needs triage	58	58	9	Request to protect part source directories from build-step mutations so subsequent builds produce consistent output; the reproducibility concern remains unassessed.
craft-parts issue #561	Meson Plugin with python or gjs based app Related work	soumyaDghosh	1119d	needs triage	58	67	15	Meson-built Python/GJS apps retain invalid build-time shebangs and fail to launch; a reproducer is linked, but the unlabelled issue has no maintainer triage or fix.
craft-parts issue #889	add "always run" plugin hook Related work	flotter	730d	needs triage	58	57	10	Requests an optional plugin hook that runs even when sources are unchanged, supporting build IDs and propagation of craft.yaml configuration; it remains untriaged.
craft-parts issue #1122	craft-parts doesn't track primed files when using `override-prime` Related work	mr-cal	506d	needs triage	58	91	34	override-prime stores empty file metadata instead of tracking scriptlet-created content, breaking primed-stage-package manifests and related Snapcraft workflows.
craft-parts issue #974	Python plugins install wheels for the host architecture, not the target architecture.	lengau	652d	needs triage	58	76	14	Cross-compiled Python plugin parts can succeed while installing host-architecture wheels, leaving binary dependencies such as cryptography unusable; the report remains open and untriaged.
craft-parts issue #806	sources module unaware of the environment Related work	upils	811d	needs triage	57	82	24	Source pulls reportedly ignore the consuming application's environment, so snap-packaged consumers can miss snap PATH tools and invoke incompatible binaries; the issue remains untriaged.
craft-parts issue #1058	SCP formatted git source cause infinite loading when packing	alesancor1	575d	needs triage	55	84	29	SCP-style Git sources can wait indefinitely for SSH host-key input during pull instead of returning a clone failure; the issue remains open, unlabelled, and untriaged.

Related work	upils	413d	needs triage	55	82	25	A part BUILD that organizes files into the overlay can change lower overlay layers without invalidating dependent OVERLAY steps; the precise reproducer exists but the open issue remains untriaged
craft-parts issue #962	CI: create test workflow to build application docs upon changing `docs/common`	lengau	658d	needs triage	55	72	14	Open CI feature request to build all downstream application docs when a PR changes docs/common, preventing reusable-documentation integration failures before merge.
craft-parts issue #1217	cargo-use: support Rust workspaces better Related work	Saviq	429d	needs triage	55	72	16	Feature request: cargo-use plugin only supports a single crate (reads [package] from one Cargo.toml) and breaks on workspace crates that inherit metadata; proposal is a CARGO_PACKAGES key plus `cargo package --no-verify` build-override. Untriaged, no maintainer response.
craft-parts issue #1666	Source pull step doesn't retry on transient network failures	lengau	78d	needs triage	55	62	20	SourceHandler.download() in craft_parts/sources/base.py and GitSource._run() issue single un-retried requests.get()/git clone, so transient network errors fail the whole pull step. Unlabelled, no maintainer comments.
craft-parts issue #674	Symlink fixing logic doesn't consider relative location changes when using organize	dilyn-corner	975d	needs triage	55	87	19	Package normalization rewrites absolute symlinks before organize moves their link or target, leaving relative links dangling; a detailed reproducer exists, but the issue has not been maintainer-triaged.
craft-parts issue #899	Craft parts should close stdin when cloning git projects	mr-cal	721d	needs triage	52	78	27	Git source commands still inherit stdin, so private-repository prompts can hang or produce unhelpful failures in local and remote builds; this request remains open and untriaged.
craft-parts issue #311	Permission changes in files are not detected	facundobatista	1466d	needs triage	52	84	25	Valid local-source change-detection bug: chmod-only updates are ignored because the pull outdated check considers timestamps but not permission modes.
craft-parts issue #1490	Fallback once to `snap download` if snap not found in global store Related work	soumyaDghosh	236d	needs triage	48	64	14	Private or dedicated-store build snaps are unsupported when absent from the global store; a one-time `snap download` fallback is requested. The issue has no labels, comments, or maintainer triage.
craft-parts issue #1447	snap build fails if go must download the version Related work	adombeck	266d	needs triage	48	92	31	Go plugin validation misreads a toolchain-download message from stderr as the compiler version, so the first clean snapcraft pack fails while retries succeed; it remains unfixed and untriaged.
craft-parts issue #772	Use `parallel_build_count` in plugins and document usage Related work	mr-cal	842d	needs triage	48	76	21	Parallel job limits are still absent from Rust and SCons build commands; auditing other plugins and documenting support remain open and untriaged.
craft-parts issue #995	Create a general migration how-to for the `uv` and `poetry` plugins	lengau	638d	needs triage	45	82	26	Add a tabbed migration how-to for users moving from the python plugin to uv or poetry; it remains open, untriaged, and no guide is present in the how-to index.

Brand new, no labels or maintainer response.
craft-parts issue #1051	Rename overlay+partition specific env vars Related work	upils	587d	needs triage	42	84	22	Partition overlay variables still use CRAFT_[namespace_]partition_OVERLAY; the requested consistent CRAFT_[namespace_]partition_PART_OVERLAY rename remains unimplemented and needs triage.
craft-parts issue #1613	uv: Support workspace packages arguments	pedro-avalos	143d	needs triage	42	58	18	Feature request: add a `uv-packages` part property to the uv plugin so `uv sync` can be scoped with `--all-packages` or `--package=<name>`, enabling multi-package artifacts. Open, untriaged.

craft-parts issue #657	`python-extras` keyword for Python plugin Related work	lengau	993d	needs triage	40	75	23	Maintainer QoL feature request: add a `python-extras` key to the Python plugin so `pip install -U .[extras]` runs. Still unimplemented — the keyword appears nowhere in craft-parts, though the newer uv plugin already ships `uv-extras`. Untriaged; only comment is an autogenerated Jira-sync bot message.
craft-parts issue #583	Documentation is missing important concepts and graphs	sergiusens	1074d	needs triage	40	28	8	Maintainer-filed docs gap report (2024): the overlays and lifecycle explanation pages reportedly lack key concepts and diagrams. Only screenshots plus two readthedocs links; no labels, no maintainer triage, only a Jira bot comment.
craft-parts issue #838	Validate snapd payload	sergiusens	780d	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.
craft-parts issue #1546	Support download part source from FTP URLs	brlin-tw	198d	needs triage	38	62	12	Feature request to support downloading part sources from FTP URLs; the code still raises NotImplementedError and the issue has no maintainer triage or comments.
craft-parts issue #1328	Clean up return of `install_packages` Related work	bepri	401d	needs triage	38	64	12	Cleanup remains open: install_packages still returns package manifests that internal callers discard; PR #1671 removed the related list_only parameter but not the return contract.
craft-parts issue #648	Provide better errors for failures to clear the apt cache Related work	mr-cal	1000d	needs triage	35	85	24	Enhancement request to wrap the apt cache rmtree in _populate_stage_cache_dir with try/except and raise an actionable error when the cache cannot be removed (e.g. sudo then non-sudo destructive runs). Still open, untriaged, tracked as CRAFT-2937.
craft-parts issue #934	Rust plugin prevents from building a single package in workspace	artivis	686d	needs triage	35	75	21	Rust plugin hardcodes `cargo build --workspace` in the virtual-workspace branch, so users cannot build a single/selected package; the `rust_cargo_parameters` workaround fails. Still present at HEAD, untriaged and unacknowledged.
craft-parts issue #1470	Integration test for poetry plugin requires root/apt state (not marked,...	gcomneno	249d	needs triage	35	95	30	Poetry integration tests run in non-privileged CI despite invoking apt; replacing the file marker with requires_root is locally validated, but maintainer triage is still absent.
craft-parts issue #659	Docs: Document/cross-reference working directory and environment variables...	thp-canonical	993d	needs triage	35	84	22	Open, untriaged documentation gap: Part properties does not cross-reference step environments, leaving override-pull/build/stage/prime working directories and variables hard to find.

craft-parts issue #750	Reference docs: Separate "library developer/user" content from "craft user" content Related work	thp-canonical	874d	needs triage	32	76	14	Reference docs remain a flat, mixed-audience index; Parts and Steps still combines permissions, environment, and output-directory material. The detailed restructuring proposal is open and untriaged.
craft-parts issue #1493	go plugin: Add flag to run tests during build phase	steinbro	232d	needs triage	32	72	19	Maintainer-filed feature request to add an `enable-checks` build attribute to the go plugin so `go test` runs as the final build command, plus a test and docs update. Unimplemented, unlabelled, no discussion.
craft-parts issue #1232	ant plugin: Support `disable-parallel` parameter Related work	lengau	422d	needs triage	30	45	10	Ant plugin support for disable-parallel is unimplemented; the request remains open as Needs information, with maintainers requesting a real-world case that fails under parallel builds.
craft-parts issue #196	Consider capturing all potentially invalid stage-packages before bailing	sergiusens	1667d	needs triage	30	72	14	Requests validating all stage-packages and reporting every missing entry at once; still open, unlabelled, and awaiting maintainer triage beyond an automated Jira-sync comment.
craft-parts issue #319	Support `--help` flag for craftctl Related work	merlijn-sebrechts	1445d	needs triage	30	76	18	Requested craftctl --help to list supported commands; current code still accepts only default, set, and get, and the request has not been maintainer-triaged.
craft-parts issue #835	Document the creation and use of stage-packages filters	lengau	784d	needs triage	28	66	14	Docs task from maintainer: write a how-to for registering stage-packages filters; still undocumented (docs/how-to/index.rst has no callbacks page) and the register_stage_packages_filter docstring still misleadingly says the mechanism "is now deprecated".
craft-parts issue #456	Explain how `stage` and `prime` work in the docs Related work	ca-scribner	1260d	needs triage	27	84	18	Current docs explain install-to-stage-to-prime migration and fileset filtering, but omitted stage/prime defaults remain implicit; #921 still requests fuller key-reference coverage.
craft-parts issue #1239	gradle plugin: Support `disable-parallel` parameter Related work	lengau	422d	needs triage	25	40	7	Feature request: add `disable-parallel` support to the gradle plugin. Maintainer labels it low-priority, 'Needs information', asking for a real-world use case that fails under parallel builds; design (None/False/True) sketched in a comment.
craft-parts issue #1237	go plugin: Support `disable-parallel` parameter Related work	lengau	422d	needs triage	25	45	9	Adding disable-parallel support to the Go plugin remains open and low priority, pending a concrete real-world use case or application that fails with parallel builds.

craft-parts issue #1707	Drop extraneous type checks Related work	mr-cal	58d	needs triage	25	45	8	Maintainer cleanup task to remove redundant runtime type checks (e.g. the isinstance(dict) guard in PartSpec.unmarshal); open, unlabelled, no comments, and only one example site given.
craft-parts issue #1326	Investigate support for fetching chisel slices Related work	bepri	401d	needs triage	25	45	5	Feature request to support fetching Chisel slices as packages. Slices are now cut at unpack-time via a separate stage-slices key, so the original fetch-time TODO appears superseded; lengau noted upstream Chisel would need to split download/unpack.
craft-parts issue #670	Format partition warnings and errors inside the error class	mr-cal	980d	needs triage	20	80	11	Maintainer-authored refactor: pass unformatted partition warning/error data to PartitionUsageError/Warning and let the error classes do the indenting, instead of building pre-indented strings in parts.py. Still open, unlabelled, only a Jira sync bot comment.
