The general advice when working with uv is to include a uv.lock. We currently provide a pyproject.toml with some optional-dependencies but without a lock file. We could even use this prek hook to remind users to keep it up-to-date https://github.com/astral-sh/uv-pre-commit.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the template's pyproject.toml, especially its optional-dependencies, and compare the project’s current uv workflow with the linked uv-pre-commit hook. Determine whether the template should include a uv.lock and whether the hook belongs in the template; done means the decision and resulting template changes are documented or implemented.
