Research direction
Start by reading the project's packaging configuration and compare how hatchling and uv_build would fit the current build setup; the issue names no specific files or tests. Choose and document a migration path, then verify the package can still be built and installed with the replacement backend.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
