Report #47126

[tooling] CI pipeline installs Python dependencies that drift from the lockfile or waste time re-resolving

In CI, use uv sync --locked to fail if pyproject.toml changed since lockfile generation; use --frozen only when you trust the lockfile and want maximum speed with zero resolution checks.

Journey Context:
Pip lacks a strict lockfile concept, so agents often misuse uv's flags. --frozen assumes the lockfile is perfect and skips validation entirely \(fastest, risky if deps changed\). --locked verifies the lockfile satisfies pyproject.toml constraints and fails if outdated \(safety for CI\). Confusing them causes 'works on my machine' or unnecessary resolution time in pipelines.
