Follow-up to #2313, which repaired accumulated lockfile drift. This removes the cause.

The bug

uv.lock carries an entry for the package it locks — the one whose source is { editable = "." } — so editing pyproject.toml alone leaves that entry one version stale. prepare-release.ts did exactly that, so every release shipped a stale lock. Four consecutive aws-strands releases are each a one-line, one-file commit; ag_ui_adk drifted five releases deep before anyone noticed, because nothing reads the lock during a release.

The fix

Run uv lock after bumping a Python version, and install uv in prepare-release.yml (same pinned action and floor unit-python-sdk.yml already uses).

Packages with no uv.lock (poetry-managed, or unlocked) are skipped. A missing uv is fatal rather than skipped — silently publishing a stale lock is the failure this exists to prevent. uv's stdout is discarded so the script's JSON summary stays parseable, with stderr passed through.

One behaviour worth knowing about

uv lock may also flush latent metadata corrections unrelated to the bump. It doesn't rewrite the file unless it has a reason to, and when a bump finally gives it one, it writes the file in its current best form.

Measured: the same uv 0.9.24 binary added an exceptiongroup dependency marker on Aug 4 that it had not added on Jul 30 from an identical starting state, because uv's metadata cache had refreshed from PyPI in between. These are corrections rather than corruption — exceptiongroup genuinely needs typing-extensions only below Python 3.13.

And it settles. Simulating two releases back to back:

lock diff
release 1 (0.2.4 → 0.2.5) 2 lines — version + the latent fix
release 2 (0.2.5 → 0.2.6) 1 line — version only

A companion uv lock --check CI gate (next PR) is what keeps this clean long-term: with locks continuously current, a release bump has nothing extra to flush.

Verification

Against a scratch worktree — --dry-run writes nothing and its JSON still parses; a real bump moves pyproject.toml and uv.lock to the same version; the resulting lock passes uv lock --check.

Not covered by a test

prepare-release.ts hardcodes repoRoot to path.resolve(__dirname, "../..") and exports nothing, so the existing spawn-based tests can only exercise --dry-run, which by design never writes. Covering this path needs a main-guard refactor or a fixture repo, both larger than the fix — and a main-guard that silently mismatched would stop main() running at all, which is a worse failure than the one being fixed. Verified by running the real script against a scratch worktree instead.

Python Preview Packages

Version 0.0.0.dev1785892160 published to TestPyPI.

Warning: These packages are built from contributor code that may not yet have been vetted for correctness or security. Install at your own risk and do not use in production.

Install with uv

Add the TestPyPI index to your pyproject.toml:

[[tool.uv.index]]
name = "testpypi"
url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple/"
explicit = true

Then install the packages you need:

# Core SDK
uv add 'ag-ui-protocol==0.0.0.dev1785892160' --index testpypi

# Integrations (each already depends on the matching ag-ui-protocol preview)
uv add 'ag-ui-langgraph==0.0.0.dev1785892160' --index testpypi
uv add 'ag-ui-crewai==0.0.0.dev1785892160' --index testpypi
# NOTE: ag-ui-agent-spec depends on pyagentspec (git-only, not on PyPI).
# You will need to install pyagentspec separately from its git repo.
uv add 'ag-ui-agent-spec==0.0.0.dev1785892160' --index testpypi
uv add 'ag_ui_adk==0.0.0.dev1785892160' --index testpypi
uv add 'ag_ui_strands==0.0.0.dev1785892160' --index testpypi

Install with pip

pip install \
  --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \
  --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ \
  ag-ui-protocol==0.0.0.dev1785892160

Use --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ so pip can resolve
transitive dependencies (pydantic, fastapi, etc.) from real PyPI.

commit: f9f95f1

uv.lock carries an entry for the package it locks -- the one whose source is
{ editable = "." } -- so editing pyproject.toml alone leaves that entry one
version stale. prepare-release.ts did exactly that, so every release shipped a
stale lock: four consecutive aws-strands releases are each a one-line, one-file
commit, and ag_ui_adk drifted five releases deep before anyone noticed. #2313
repaired the accumulated drift; this stops it recurring.

Runs `uv lock`, which is what the tooling is for. Note it may also flush latent
metadata corrections unrelated to the bump: it rewrites the whole file once it
has any reason to, and what it writes reflects the package metadata in uv's cache
at that moment. Measured -- the same uv 0.9.24 binary added an exceptiongroup
dependency marker on Aug 4 that it had not added on Jul 30 from an identical
starting state, because the cache had refreshed from PyPI in between. Those are
corrections rather than corruption (exceptiongroup genuinely needs
typing-extensions only below 3.13), and the companion `uv lock --check` CI gate
(#2315) keeps them from accumulating: with locks continuously current, a release
bump has nothing extra to flush and its diff stays to the version line.

Packages with no uv.lock (poetry-managed, or unlocked) are skipped; a missing uv
is fatal rather than skipped, since silently publishing a stale lock is the
failure this exists to prevent. uv's stdout is discarded so the script's JSON
summary stays parseable, with stderr passed through for diagnostics.

Testability: repoRoot was pinned to the script's own location, so a non-dry-run
would have edited the real repo and --dry-run (which never writes) was the only
safe mode -- leaving the write path uncovered. It now honours
PREPARE_RELEASE_ROOT, so a test can point config, package files and lockfiles at
a throwaway tree. The added test builds a dependency-free fixture package (so
`uv lock` needs no network), seeds its lock with a real uv run rather than
hand-writing one, bumps it through the actual script, and asserts pyproject.toml
and uv.lock both land on the new version. Commenting out the re-lock makes it
fail with "uv.lock self-entry not re-locked", so it guards the regression rather
than the implementation.

The test skips itself when uv is absent, so test-release-scripts.yml gains the uv
install -- otherwise it would pass vacuously in CI and give false confidence.

Rejected: a main-guard refactor to make the script importable. A guard whose
condition silently mismatched would stop main() running at all -- a quiet no-op in
release tooling, worse than the bug being fixed. The env override achieves the
same testability with no effect on normal invocation.

Nothing validated Python lockfiles. Every --frozen-lockfile check in CI is pnpm,
which is how three released packages drifted -- ag_ui_adk five releases deep --
without a single red build (ag-ui-protocol#2313 repaired it, ag-ui-protocol#2314 removes the cause).

Adds --locked to the nine `uv sync` steps rather than nine new `uv lock --check`
steps: uv sync --locked asserts the lockfile is already in step with
pyproject.toml and exits 1 if not, so the gate rides along with a command CI
already runs. Measured on the aws-strands package -- with the lock's self-version
knocked back a patch it exits 1 with "The lockfile at `uv.lock` needs to be
updated, but `--locked` was provided", and exits 0 once restored.

Safe to merge as-is: verified that all eight uv-managed packages this workflow
covers currently pass `uv lock --check` against main, so no job goes red on
landing. Note the check is resolution-level, not byte-level -- it tolerates a lock
whose metadata representation is merely older than what today's uv would emit,
and fails only when the lock genuinely disagrees with pyproject. That is the right
sensitivity here: the version drift this exists to catch trips it, and a uv
upgrade alone does not.
