To quote myself a post of mine in response to a different post of yours two weaks ago: The weapon rule introduction lists rangedness and handedness as seperate categories ("These categories pertain to [...] the weapon’s usefulness either in close combat (melee) or at a distance (ranged, which includes both thrown and projectile weapons), its relative encumbrance (light, one-handed, or two-handed), [...]" CRB pg. 141). The light/one-handed/two-handed seperation in the table is explicitly only for melee weapons, which means that the classification for ranged weapons is [...] done by the weapon's description and not done by the weapon table.

The Chakrma doesn't explicitly say it requires but one hand to throw, but since projectile weapons have an explicit mention of "Most projectile weapons require two hands to use (see specific weapon descriptions)." CRB pg. 141, thrown weapons appear to be one-handed by default. And I mean, really, no one is doubting that you throw or melee attack with a chakram in one hand.
