Report #14677

[tooling] pip-tools is too slow for large dependency locking in CI

Use \`uv pip compile requirements.in -o requirements.txt\` to generate locked requirements 10-100x faster than pip-tools, with full pip compatibility.

Journey Context:
Traditional \`pip-compile\` is slow because it uses pip's resolver in a subprocess loop. \`uv\` \(Astral's Rust-based Python package manager\) reimplements resolution in Rust with aggressive caching and parallel wheel fetching. It drops into existing pip workflows \(\`uv pip install -r requirements.txt\`\) without changing the environment format. Critical for large monorepos where \`pip-compile\` takes minutes; \`uv\` does it in seconds. Also handles platform-specific markers correctly.
