[Request interrupted by user for tool use]

Implement the following plan:

Plan: Migrate from pip/venv/shiv to uv

Context

The project currently uses pip, venv, setuptools, and shiv for dependency management, virtual environments, building, and distribution. uv is a modern replacement (by Astral) that is 10-100x faster and unifies these tools. The goal is to migrate the entire development and CI workflow to uv, switch the build backend to uv_build, and continue using shiv (via uvx) for the zipapp distribution step since uv has no native equivalent yet.

Files to modify

  1. pyproject.toml — switch build backend, move dev deps
  2. scripts/developer-mode-setup.sh — simplify to use uv
  3. scripts/build_shiv_package.sh — use uvx shiv instead of bare shiv
  4. .envrc — point to .venv instead of venv
  5. .gitignore — add .venv, uv.lock; keep venv for safety
  6. tox.ini — add .venv to flake8 exclude list
  7. .github/workflows/publish.yml — replace setup-python+pip with setup-uv
  8. .github/workflows/test.yml — same
  9. .github/workflows/test-deploy.yml — same
  10. .github/workflows/test-webapp.yml — same
  11. .github/workflows/test-deploy-k8s.yml — same
  12. .github/workflows/lint.yml — switch to uv for flake8

New files

  • uv.lock — auto-generated by uv lock (committed to git)
  • .python-version — created by uv python pin 3.12

Files to delete

  • MANIFEST.in — not used by uv_build (only contains include LICENSE which pyproject.toml handles)

Steps

Step 1: Update pyproject.toml

  • Change [build-system] from setuptools to uv_build: toml [build-system] requires = ["uv_build>=0.10.6,<0.11.0"] build-backend = "uv_build"
  • Move flake8 and black from dependencies to a [dependency-groups] section: toml [dependency-groups] dev = ["flake8", "black"]
  • Remove the [tool.setuptools.package-data] section (uv_build auto-includes files within the module directory; src/stack/data/ has an __init__.py and lives inside the package)

Step 2: Update scripts/developer-mode-setup.sh

Replace the multi-step venv/pip dance with:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [[ -n "$STACK_SCRIPT_DEBUG" ]]; then
    set -x
fi
uv sync

Step 3: Update scripts/build_shiv_package.sh

Change shiv to uvx shiv:

mkdir -p ./package
version_string=$( ./scripts/create_build_tag_file.sh )
uvx shiv -c stack -o package/stack-${version_string} .

Step 4: Update .envrc

Change from . venv/bin/activate to . .venv/bin/activate (uv uses .venv by convention).

Step 5: Update .gitignore

Add .venv entry. The existing venv entry can remain. Also ensure uv.lock is NOT ignored (it should be committed).

Step 6: Update tox.ini

Add .venv to the flake8 exclude list (currently only excludes venv).

Step 7: Update all GitHub Actions workflows

For the 5 workflows that install Python + shiv (publish, test, test-deploy, test-webapp, test-deploy-k8s), replace:

- name: "Install Python"
  uses: actions/setup-python@v4
  with:
    python-version: '3.12'
- name: "Install shiv"
  run: pip install shiv

With:

- name: "Install uv"
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v4
  with:
    python-version: '3.12'

Remove any "Print Python version" steps or update them to uv python --version.

For lint.yml, replace the py-actions/flake8@v2 action with uv-based linting:

- name: "Install uv"
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v4
  with:
    python-version: '3.12'
- name: "Install dependencies"
  run: uv sync
- name: "Run flake8"
  run: uv run flake8 --config tox.ini

Step 8: Update scripts/lint.sh

Prefix black and flake8 commands with uv run so they execute within the uv-managed environment.

Step 9: Generate lock file and pin Python version

Run:

uv lock
uv python pin 3.12

Step 10: Delete MANIFEST.in

No longer needed — uv_build does not use it.

Verification

  1. Run uv sync — should create .venv/ and install all deps
  2. Run uv run stack version — should print the version
  3. Run uv run flake8 --config tox.ini — linting should pass
  4. Run ./scripts/build_shiv_package.sh — should produce a working shiv zipapp in package/
  5. Execute the produced zipapp directly: ./package/stack-* version
  6. Run ./scripts/lint.sh — should work with uv run

All done. Here's a summary of what was done:

Files modified: - pyproject.toml — switched build backend to uv_build, moved flake8/black to [dependency-groups] dev, removed [tool.setuptools.package-data] - scripts/developer-mode-setup.sh — simplified to just uv sync - scripts/build_shiv_package.sh — changed shiv to uvx shiv - scripts/lint.sh — prefixed black and flake8 with uv run - .envrc — changed to . .venv/bin/activate - .gitignore — added .venv - tox.ini — added .venv to flake8 exclude list - All 6 GitHub Actions workflows — replaced setup-python + pip install shiv with astral-sh/setup-uv@v4

Files created: - uv.lock — generated by uv lock - .python-version — pinned to 3.12

Files deleted: - MANIFEST.in

Verification results: - uv sync — installed 49 packages successfully - uv run stack version — prints 2.0.1-unknown - uv run flake8 --config tox.ini — passes clean - ./scripts/build_shiv_package.sh — produced working shiv zipapp - Zipapp execution — works correctly - ./scripts/lint.sh — passes clean

Thank you. Can you tell me what we would need to do in order for the tool to be installable with "uv tool install stack"?

Thinking

The user is asking about making their tool installable via uv tool install stack. Let me think about what this requires.

uv tool install installs a Python package as a CLI tool, similar to pipx install. For this to work, the package needs to be published to PyPI (or another index), or you can install from a local path/git URL.

The key requirements are:

  1. The package must be published to a package index (PyPI) - uv tool install stack without any other qualifier would look on PyPI. They could also do uv tool install stack --from git+https://github.com/... for a git source.

  2. The package must have console script entry points - They already have [project.scripts] defined with stack = "stack:main.cli", so this is covered.

  3. The package name "stack" - There might be a name conflict on PyPI since there could already be a package with that name, which could be an issue if they want to use the simple name without specifying a source.
  4. The build backend must work for building from source - They're using uv_build which should handle this.
  5. Publishing to PyPI - They'd need to set up their publishing workflow, likely through GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD.

Now I'm thinking through the different installation methods available with uv tool install - they can install from PyPI directly, from a git repository, or from a local path. The key constraint is whether they want to publish to PyPI or use an alternative installation method, and if they do publish, they need to handle the potential name conflict first. rename the package since "stack" is a very generic name and may be taken

For uv tool install --from git+https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack stack, it should already work as-is since they have the entry point defined.

Actually, let me also think about whether uv tool install from a local path works with uv_build. It should, since uv understands its own build backend.

Let me also consider: does uv tool install . work from the repo directory? That would be the simplest case.

So the answer is relatively straightforward - the package is already almost there. The main thing is publishing to PyPI if they want the simple uv tool install stack syntax. Otherwise, it should work already from a git URL or local path.

There's likely already a package named "stack" on PyPI, so they'd probably want to go with something more distinctive like bpi-stack or laconic-stack to avoid conflicts.

The good news is that the package is already almost there structurally. The key requirement for uv tool install is that the package has [project.scripts] entry points — and you already have:

[project.scripts]
stack = "stack:main.cli"

So the remaining question is where uv fetches the package from:

Already works today (from local path or git)

# From the repo directory:
uv tool install .

# From the git repo:
uv tool install --from git+https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack stack

No changes needed for these — they should work right now with your current pyproject.toml.

For uv tool install stack (from PyPI)

This requires publishing the package to PyPI, which means:

  1. Pick a unique package namestack is almost certainly taken on PyPI. You'd need something like laconic-stack or bpi-stack. Update the name field in pyproject.toml accordingly. (The [project.scripts] entry can still expose a stack command regardless of package name.)

  2. Publish — You can do this with: bash uv build uv publish --token <your-pypi-token>

  3. Then users install with: bash uv tool install bpi-stack # whatever the published name is

Summary

Install method What's needed
uv tool install . Nothing — works now
uv tool install --from git+... Nothing — works now
uv tool install <name> Publish to PyPI with a unique package name

Given that you're currently distributing via shiv zipapps from GitHub releases, the git URL form might be the most practical next step without changing your release workflow.

Ok we will skip PyPI publication for now. Please update the docs to include the details on how to install using uv (the methods that already work).

Let me find the existing documentation first.

     3→## Scripted Install for CI/Test on a VM
     4→[This script](./scripts/quick-install-linux.sh) captures the install/setup of stack and its prerequisites on a fresh Ubuntu 24 VM.
     5→
     6→**WARNING:** always review scripts prior to running them so that you know what is happening on your machine.
     7→
     8→## User Install
     9→For any other installation, follow along below and **adapt these instructions based on the specifics of your system.**
    10→
    11→Ensure that the following are already installed:
    12→
    13→- [Python3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download): `python3 --version` >= `3.12` (the Python3 shipped in Ubuntu 24.04 is good to go)
    14→- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/): `docker --version` >= `20.10.21` or [podman](https://podman.io/) `podman --version` >= `3.4.4`
    15→- [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/): `jq --version` >= `1.5`
    16→- [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git): `git --version` >= `2.10.3`
    17→
    18→Note: if installing docker-compose via package manager on Linux (as opposed to Docker Desktop), you must [install the plugin](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-the-plugin-manually), e.g. :
    19→
    20→```bash
    21→mkdir -p ~/.docker/cli-plugins
    22→curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
    23→chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
    24→```
    25→
    26→Next decide on a directory where you would like to put the stack program. Typically, this would be 
    27→a "user" binary directory such as `~/bin` or perhaps `/usr/local/bin/stack` or possibly just the current working directory.
    28→
    29→Now, having selected that directory, download the latest release from [this page](https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releses) into it (we're using `~/bin` below for concreteness but edit to suit if you selected a different directory). Also be sure that the destination directory exists and is writable:
    30→
    31→```bash
    32→curl -L -o ~/bin/stack https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releases/latest/download/stack
    33→```
    34→
    35→Give it execute permissions:
    36→
    37→```bash
    38→chmod +x ~/bin/stack
    39→```
    40→
    41→Ensure `stack` is on the [`PATH`](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/26059)
    42→
    43→Verify operation (your version will probably be different, just check here that you see some version output and not an error):
    44→
    45→```
    46→stack version
    47→Version: 2.0.0-fb86d3c-202503251632
    48→```
    49→
    50→### Update
    51→If `stack` was installed using the process above, it is able to self-update to the current latest version by running:
    52→
    53→```bash
    54→stack update
    55→```
    56→
    57→#### Alternate Update Locations (e.g., a fork)
    58→
    59→If you want to update from a different location (e.g., a fork), you can do so setting the distribution URL to use:
    60→
    61→Save the alternate distribution URL in `~/.config/stack/config.yml`:
    62→
    63→```bash
    64→stack config set distribution-url https://github.com/example-org/my-stack-fork/releases/latest/download/stack
    65→```

    75→
    76→Stack runs on Linux, macos and Windows under WSL2. Both x86-64 and ARM64 are supported.
    77→
    78→### Tire Kicking
    79→To get started quickly on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 instance (e.g, a Digital Ocean droplet); [try this script](./scripts/quick-install-linux.sh).
    80→
    81→**WARNING:** Always review downloaded scripts prior to running them so that you know what going to happen to your machine.
    82→
    83→### Lazy Mode
    84→Stack is written in Python and so needs a recent Python 3 on the machine. It also needs either docker or podman installed, and these utilities: git, jq. The [full installation instructions](./docs/install.md) show how to get these but if you're allready set up, proceed:
    85→
    86→Stack is distributed as a single-file self-extracting script. The latest release can be downloaded like this:
    87→```bash
    88→curl -L -o ~/bin/stack https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releases/latest/download/stack
    89→chmod +x ~/bin/stack
    90→```
    91→### Hard Mode

Thinking

Now I have a clear picture of the docs. I need to update:

  1. docs/install.md - Add a uv tool install section as an alternative installation method
  2. README.md - Mention the uv install option in the Install section
  3. docs/CONTRIBUTING.md - Update developer mode install to reflect uv (no more venv prerequisite, use uv instead)

Let me craft the updates.

Now I have the full picture. I need to update three docs files:

  1. docs/install.md — add uv install methods
  2. README.md — mention uv in the install section
  3. docs/CONTRIBUTING.md — update developer setup to reflect uv
✏️ Edit install.md
/home/david/projects/bpi/stack/docs/install.md
## User Install
For any other installation, follow along below and **adapt these instructions based on the specifics of your system.**

Ensure that the following are already installed:

- [Python3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download): `python3 --version` >= `3.12` (the Python3 shipped in Ubuntu 24.04 is good to go)
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/): `docker --version` >= `20.10.21` or [podman](https://podman.io/) `podman --version` >= `3.4.4`
- [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/): `jq --version` >= `1.5`
- [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git): `git --version` >= `2.10.3`

Note: if installing docker-compose via package manager on Linux (as opposed to Docker Desktop), you must [install the plugin](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-the-plugin-manually), e.g. :

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.docker/cli-plugins
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
```

Next decide on a directory where you would like to put the stack program. Typically, this would be 
a "user" binary directory such as `~/bin` or perhaps `/usr/local/bin/stack` or possibly just the current working directory.

Now, having selected that directory, download the latest release from [this page](https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releses) into it (we're using `~/bin` below for concreteness but edit to suit if you selected a different directory). Also be sure that the destination directory exists and is writable:

```bash
curl -L -o ~/bin/stack https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releases/latest/download/stack
```

Give it execute permissions:

```bash
chmod +x ~/bin/stack
```

Ensure `stack` is on the [`PATH`](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/26059)

Verify operation (your version will probably be different, just check here that you see some version output and not an error):

```
stack version
Version: 2.0.0-fb86d3c-202503251632
```

chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
```

### Install with uv (recommended)

If you have [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) installed, you can install stack directly from the git repository:

```bash
uv tool install --from git+https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack stack
```

This installs `stack` into an isolated environment and adds it to your PATH. To update to the latest version:

```bash
uv tool upgrade stack
```

### Install from a downloaded release

Decide on a directory where you would like to put the stack program. Typically, this would be
a "user" binary directory such as `~/bin` or perhaps `/usr/local/bin/stack` or possibly just the current working directory.

Now, having selected that directory, download the latest release from [this page](https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releses) into it (we're using `~/bin` below for concreteness but edit to suit if you selected a different directory). Also be sure that the destination directory exists and is writable:

```bash
curl -L -o ~/bin/stack https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releases/latest/download/stack
```

Give it execute permissions:

```bash
chmod +x ~/bin/stack
```

Ensure `stack` is on the [`PATH`](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/26059)

Verify operation (your version will probably be different, just check here that you see some version output and not an error):

```
stack version

### Lazy Mode
Stack is written in Python and so needs a recent Python 3 on the machine. It also needs either docker or podman installed, and these utilities: git, jq. The [full installation instructions](./docs/install.md) show how to get these but if you're allready set up, proceed:

Stack is distributed as a single-file self-extracting script. The latest release can be downloaded like this:
```bash
curl -L -o ~/bin/stack https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack/releases/latest/download/stack
chmod +x ~/bin/stack

## Install (developer mode)

Suitable for developers either modifying or debugging the orchestrator Python code:

### Prerequisites

In addition to the pre-requisites listed in the [README](/README.md), the following are required:

1. Python venv package
   This may or may not be already installed depending on the host OS and version. Check by running:
   ```
   $ python3 -m venv
   usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear] [--upgrade] [--without-pip] [--prompt PROMPT] ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
   venv: error: the following arguments are required: ENV_DIR
   ```
   If the venv package is missing you should see a message indicating how to install it, for example with:
   ```
   $ apt install python3.10-venv
   ```

### Install

1. Clone this repository:
   ```
   $ git clone https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack.git

## Install (developer mode)

Suitable for developers either modifying or debugging the orchestrator Python code:

### Prerequisites

In addition to the pre-requisites listed in the [README](/README.md), the following are required:

1. [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) — used for dependency management and virtual environments.

### Install

1. Clone this repository:
   ```
   $ git clone https://github.com/bozemanpass/stack.git
   ```

2. Enter the project directory:
   ```
   $ cd stack
   ```

3. Install dependencies:
   ```
   $ ./scripts/developer-mode-setup.sh
   ```
   This runs `uv sync`, which creates a `.venv` virtual environment and installs all dependencies.

4. Verify installation:
   ```
   $ uv run stack
      Usage: stack [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

      BPI stack

      Options:
         --verbose       more detailed output
         --debug         enable debug logging
         --stack TEXT    path to the stack
         --profile TEXT  name of the configuration profile to use
         -h, --help      Show this message and exit.

      Core Commands:
         config   manage configuration settings for the stack command
         deploy   deploy a stack
         fetch    clone repositories
         init     create a stack specification file
         list     list available stacks
         manage   manage a deployed stack (start, stop, etc.)
         prepare  prepare a stack by cloning repositories and building and...
         update   update shiv binary from a distribution url
         version  print tool version
         webapp   build, run, and deploy webapps
   ```

## Build a zipapp (single file distributable script)

Use shiv to build a single file Python executable zip archive of stack:

1. Run shiv to create a zipapp file:
   ```
   $ (venv)  ./scripts/build_shiv_package.sh
   ```
   This creates a file under `./package/` that is executable outside of any venv, and on other machines and OSes and architectures, and requiring only the system Python3:

2. Verify it works:
   ```
   # Note: Your binary will have a different hash and timestamp in the name
   $ cp package/stack-2.0.0-d531f73-202505011750 ~/bin
   $ stack

The file /home/david/projects/bpi/stack/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md has been updated successfully.

Done. Here's what I updated:

  • README.md — Added an "Install with uv" section showing uv tool install --from git+... before the existing download method. Also fixed a typo ("allready" → "already").
  • docs/install.md — Added an "Install with uv (recommended)" subsection with install and upgrade commands. Renamed the existing download section to "Install from a downloaded release" for clarity.
  • docs/CONTRIBUTING.md — Replaced the venv prerequisite with uv, updated the setup steps to use uv sync / uv run, and updated the shiv build section to reflect uvx.

Thank you.

You're welcome! The migration to uv is all in place. Let me know if you'd like to commit these changes or if there's anything else.
