Research direction
Investigate the handling of the ` project` flag in the `uv python find` command. Check the CLI argument parsing and the logic that discovers the project environment. Compare with how other commands respect ` project`. Ensure that when ` project` is provided, the Python path from the specified project's `.venv` is returned instead of the global one.
