Research direction
Review the Rye codebase to identify all references to pip tools, including documentation, CLI commands, and internal modules. Check the repository's recent commits to understand the current state of uv integration. Look for any related issues or discussions about phasing out pip tools. Ensure that removal does not break existing functionality for users still relying on pip tools.
