fix: suppress uv hardlink warning with UV_LINK_MODE=copy#537
Merged
Conversation
When running as a GitHub Action, the uv cache and target .venv directory end up on different filesystems (container overlay vs host mount), causing uv to emit a noisy warning on every run. Setting UV_LINK_MODE=copy tells uv to use copy mode directly, suppressing the warning.
