Context

Hatch has a single maintainer, and is under-developed. It is difficult to configure and has a lot of dependencies. We have identified uv as a suitable replacement that is well-maintained, fully-featured, well-documented, and standards-compliant. For example, we can use UV_PYTHON to set the python interpreter that will be used to make environments.

Definition of done

Replace our hatch config with uv config and update script running and documentation.

Pitfalls

Ensure that we run all variants in CI to make sure we do not have any regressions.
