Description
Following up on #1470, I would like to propose using uv and the setup-uv action in ci.
I would like to discuss.
Easy
uv treecan replacepipdeptree
Decision needed
- can
uv sync --all-extrasbe used in the ci step that tests installation of all dependency groups? I would then not use the pre-built wheel of rdmo from the previous step. - maybe the pre-built wheel is most important for the end-to-end tests, where testing backend plus compiled js frontend is tested?
Open questions
- should uv be used even more?
- add a lockfile for devs and ci runs? this could pin the versions of dependencies while working on a release, no more arguments over i used this version vs you used another
- but this lockfile would not be used in production
- should we switch to uv build backend vs setuptools?
I am in favor of the first three suggestions. What do you think?

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing CI steps that use pipdeptree, install dependency groups, build the rdmo wheel, and run end-to-end tests. Compare those workflows with uv and setup-uv, then resolve the listed questions about sync, lockfiles, and the build backend; done means the agreed CI changes work consistently without weakening installation or end-to-end coverage.
