* fix(release): reject a stale backend/uv.lock in the version gate
verify_versions.sh compared only Chart.yaml, pyproject.toml and
package.json, so bumping those three by hand passed the v* gate while
backend/uv.lock still recorded the previous root package version. The
backend image installs with uv sync --locked, so the chart and the other
images published while the backend image failed to build.
Run uv lock --check in backend/ as part of the gate, letting uv own the
PEP 440 normalization, and fail when uv is missing. The reusable
verify-versions workflow installs the uv version the backend image pins.
* docs(changelog): reference #6588
* fix(release): explain an unparsed lock version and stop blaming the lock for every uv failure
Print a fallback when the lock's root entry is not found, so the job log
does not show an empty field, and word the uv lock --check annotation so a
network error or uv crash is not reported as a stale lock.
* fix(release): refresh backend/uv.lock when bumping the version
`scripts/bump_version.sh` rewrote backend/pyproject.toml,
frontend/package.json and the Helm chart's `version`/`appVersion`, but
`backend/uv.lock` also records the root package version (uv keeps its PEP 440
form, so `2.1.0-rc0` is stored as `2.1.0rc0`). The documented release step left
the lock pinning the previous version, and that is not cosmetic drift:
`uv lock --check` (lint CI) fails on a stale lock and `uv sync --locked`
(e2e / plugin workflows) refuses the tree, so the release commit could not pass
CI. RELEASING.md only mentioned the manual `cd backend && uv lock` step for
release candidates.
The script now refreshes the lock via `uv lock` and refuses to start without
`uv` — it exits before editing anything rather than leaving a half-bumped tree
whose lock CI rejects. `uv lock` stays the authority for the normalized
prerelease form; the lock diff for a bump is a single line. RELEASING.md and
AGENTS.md now describe the lock as part of the bump.
Tests: backend/tests/test_bump_version_lockfile_sync.py (red on main, green
here) pins both halves — the lock moves with the sources, and a missing uv is an
error instead of a silent no-op.
* docs(changelog): record the release bump lockfile fix (#5859)
