Migrate project tooling from Poetry to uv

Purpose

Switch the project from Poetry to uv to speed up local environment setup and CI, and to reduce Poetry-specific packaging and workflow configuration.

Scope

• migrate pyproject.toml toward standard project metadata and dependency groups
• replace Poetry commands in CI, Docker, and contributor docs with uv equivalents
• preserve current extras, editable installs, test workflows, and release/build behavior

Acceptance Criteria

• local setup is documented with uv
• CI installs and test jobs run with uv
• Docker no longer depends on Poetry
• the project still supports the current dependency extras and CLI entrypoint

Great initiative! For a smooth migration:

1. Start with pyproject.toml - use PEP 620 format for dependencies with [project.optional-dependencies]
2. For CI, replace 'poetry install' with 'uv sync' and 'poetry run pytest' with 'uv run pytest'
3. Docker: swap 'RUN pip install poetry' for 'RUN pip install uv' and use 'uv pip install -e .' instead
4. Test that extras still work: uv sync --extra

The uv docs have good migration guides. Should be a straightforward switch with faster install times!
