oh man... we had so much of this done years ago with Locker, but old services die and new services are born, and existing services change their APIs constantly... it takes a lot of work to keep them up to date! https://github.com

I share the author's excitement about `uv`. I was a big fan of `pip-compile` because it was the simplest possible way to have clear top-level dependencies that also froze sub-dependencies (you note your top-level dependencies in `requi
