I suspect you’re reading the docs for snap.yaml and snapcraft.yaml and getting them mixed up: they both have architectures , but they’re different.

No

The link I read and provided (https://docs.snapcraft.io/build-snaps/syntax#architectures) clearly says:

The snapcraft.yaml file is the main entry point to create a snap through Snapcraft.

This has been my ‘goto’ for all snapcraft related RTM issues.

The confusion is that there is a forum post with the tag doc here:

Architectures

By default, Snapcraft builds a snap to run on the same architecture as the build environment. This behaviour can be modified with the top-level keywords architectures and platforms in the snap’s snapcraft.yaml. The architectures and platforms keywords are used to create a build plan. See build plans for an explanation of how build plans are created. The keywords are base-dependent: platforms is used for core24 snaps architectures is used for core20 and core22 snaps How to create a snap for …

This seems to be more up to date than the manual?
