Install uv without an action so the matrix jobs stop racing

act caches each action as one shared git clone under /root/.cache/act/<hash>
and re-pulls it per job. The three python matrix jobs start within the same
second on the self-hosted runner, race on that directory, and the loser dies
with "lstat /root/.cache/act/<hash>/.npmrc: no such file or directory" before
any test runs — a red main with zero suite output and a different victim each
push (3.12, then 3.11).

The action was only fetching a binary; the matrix interpreter is selected per
command by uvx --python. A run: step has no action-cache entry and cannot
race, and keeps the jobs parallel — serialising the matrix would cost 3x the
wall clock and still leave actions/checkout shared across four jobs. The uv
version is pinned under the same rule as ruff.

The accompanying test parses uses: directives rather than the raw text, so the
comment can still name the action it avoids, and uses re instead of PyYAML
because CI runs uvx pytest, whose environment holds pytest and nothing else.
