The failing step is uv sync --all-extras at line 87 of the update flow in ct/romm.sh, which the reporter ran through the curl command in the issue. The error says RomM requires uv >=0.12.15,<0.13, but the script upgrades uv to 0.13.0 just before that step, so start by comparing those two version steps. Done means the update completes on Debian 13 with uv 0.13.0 or with uv pinned to a compatible version, and you can confirm this by re-running the update in verbose mode.
