Migrated from pip to UV (v0.9.7) for faster, more reliable package management.
## Changes
### Package Management
- Created `pyproject.toml` with project metadata and dependencies
- Generated `uv.lock` for reproducible builds (198KB)
- Migrated all dependencies from requirements.txt:
- Production: 20 packages (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic, etc.)
- Development: 6 packages (pytest, black, mypy, flake8)
- Virtual environment moved from `venv/` to `.venv/` (UV default)
### Dockerfile Updates
- Updated base image: python:3.11-slim → python:3.13-slim
- Added UV installation via official image copy
- Development stage: Uses `uv sync --frozen` for all deps
- Production stage: Uses `uv sync --frozen --no-dev` for prod only
- Commands now use `uv run` prefix for auto-activation
- Set UV environment variables:
- UV_LINK_MODE=copy (for Docker compatibility)
- UV_COMPILE_BYTECODE=1 (performance)
- UV_PYTHON_DOWNLOADS=never (use system Python)
### Code Fixes
- Fixed Pydantic model circular import in `app/models/game_models.py`
- Added runtime import of PositionRating at end of file
- Called `model_rebuild()` on LineupPlayerState and GameState
- Resolves "not fully defined" errors in tests
### Documentation
- Updated `backend/CLAUDE.md` with UV usage:
- Package management section with UV commands
- Updated all code examples to use `uv run`
- Daily development workflow now uses UV
- Added dependency management guide (add/remove/update)
- Updated virtual environment location (.venv/)
### Project Files
- Added `.python-version` (3.13) for UV Python version tracking
- Removed UV template files (main.py, README.md)
- Kept existing .gitignore (already includes venv/ and .venv/)
## Testing
- ✅ All imports work correctly
- ✅ 55/55 game model tests passing
- ✅ 500+ unit tests passing (same as before migration)
- ✅ Test failures are pre-existing (not UV-related)
## Benefits
- 10-100x faster dependency resolution
- 2-3x faster installation
- Better dependency conflict resolution
- Single tool for everything (replaces pip, pip-tools, virtualenv)
- Reproducible builds with uv.lock
## Migration Path for Team
```bash
# One-time: Install UV
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# In project
cd backend
uv sync # Creates .venv and installs everything
# Daily usage
uv run python -m app.main
uv run pytest tests/ -v
```
