Description
## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. `cyclonedx-py` currently supports generating SBOMs from environments, requirements, Pipenv, and Poetry projects, but there is no first-class `uv` project workflow in released versions.
This makes it harder for teams using `uv` to generate lockfile-based SBOMs directly from `pyproject.toml` + `uv.lock`, and can block adoption in projects where `uv` is the package manager of record.
## Describe the solution you'd like
Add native `uv` project support as a dedicated CLI subcommand (for example, `cyclonedx-py uv`) that:
- accepts a project directory (or `uv.lock` path),
- reads `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock`,
- resolves dependency groups/extras in a way consistent with `uv`,
- generates CycloneDX JSON/XML output with the same quality and validation behavior as existing subcommands,
- is documented in `README` and `docs/usage.rst`,
- includes integration/unit tests and snapshot coverage.
## Describe alternatives you've considered
- **Environment scan (`cyclonedx-py environment`)**: works for installed packages, but is less lockfile-centric and can differ from the exact declared lock resolution.
- **Converting/exporting through external tools first**: adds extra steps and potential drift between source lock data and generated SBOM.
- **Maintaining custom scripts**: increases maintenance burden and reduces consistency with official tool behavior.
## Additional context
`uv` adoption is growing quickly, and users expect parity with other mainstream Python dependency workflows.
A dedicated `uv` subcommand would improve reproducibility, reduce friction in CI pipelines, and align with lockfile-driven supply chain practices.
