Problem

The production deployment GitHub Actions job was failing at the 'Deploy backend to Clever Cloud (PROD)' step with the following error:

uv: command not found

This occurred when trying to execute:

uv pip compile carbonserver/pyproject.toml > requirements/requirements-api.txt

Root Cause

The deploy workflow (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) was missing the uv tool installation, while other workflows in the repository already properly install it using the astral-sh/setup-uv action.

Solution

Added the missing uv installation steps to the deploy workflow:

1. Install uv using astral-sh/setup-uv@caf0cab7a618c569241d31dcd442f54681755d39 # v3.2.4
2. Set up Python using uv python install 3.12

Both steps are positioned before the deployment step that requires uv, ensuring the tool is available when needed.

Changes

• Added 2 new workflow steps following the exact same pattern used in other workflows (package.yml, test-package.yml, build-server.yml)
• Used the same action version for consistency across the repository
• No changes to deployment logic or functionality

This is a minimal, surgical fix that resolves the immediate deployment failure without affecting any other aspects of the workflow.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

The GitHub Actions job for the production deployment is failing at the 'Deploy backend to Clever Cloud (PROD)' step because the command 'uv pip compile carbonserver/pyproject.toml > requirements/requirements-api.txt' results in a 'uv: command not found' error. This indicates that the 'uv' tool is missing from the runner environment. To resolve this, update the workflow to install 'uv' before this step. Reference:
