## Summary
uv is a fast Python package and project manager that can replace pip and poetry.
## Why it's useful here
apollo is a Python interceptor brain; uv can improve dependency management for its AI/ML and control libraries, and ensure reproducible environments.
## Suggested use
Replace pip or poetry with uv for all dependency operations; use `uv lock` to generate a locked environment for deployment.
## Novelty / why now
Combines package management, virtual environments, Python version management, and tool execution into a single unified CLI with 10-100x speed improvements over pip.
## Risks
Minimal; uv is compatible with standard Python packaging workflows.
