fix(pip-audit): run uv lock before export to handle version bumps

[JacobPEvans]

Summary

• Adds uv lock before uv export --locked in run-pip-audit.sh

Why

release-please bumps the package version in pyproject.toml without running uv lock. The existing uv export --locked step then fails with:

error: The lockfile at `uv.lock` needs to be updated, but `--locked` was provided.

uv lock without --upgrade is a no-op when the lock file is already current — it only updates the local package's version metadata. This makes release-please PRs pass pip-audit without manual intervention.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the pip-audit execution script to ensure the environment's lockfile is synchronized before attempting to export dependencies. By running uv lock as a proactive step, the process becomes resilient to version metadata changes that occur during automated releases, preventing unnecessary CI failures.

Highlights

• Lockfile Synchronization: Added a call to uv lock before the export process in the pip-audit script to ensure the lockfile reflects version changes in pyproject.toml.
• Release Automation: Ensures that automated version bumps by release-please do not cause failures in the pip-audit CI step.

Pull request overview

Updates the central run-pip-audit.sh used by the reusable Python security workflow so pip-audit continues to run successfully when pyproject.toml’s version changes without a corresponding uv.lock update (e.g., release-please PRs).

Changes:

• Run uv lock before uv export --locked to refresh the lockfile when version metadata drifts.
• Add inline rationale explaining why the extra lock step is needed.

Running uv lock here changes the semantics of this check: previously uv export --locked would fail if the repo’s committed uv.lock was out of date, which helps catch PRs that modify dependency constraints but forget to update/commit the lockfile. With an unconditional uv lock, those PRs will now pass pip-audit by regenerating a lockfile in CI, and pip-audit may end up auditing dependencies that don’t match what’s committed.

Consider either (a) adding a follow-up guard that fails if uv lock produced substantive uv.lock changes that aren’t present in the PR (or at least emits a clear failure message instructing to commit the updated lock), or (b) scoping this behavior to the release-please/version-bump case so dependency drift still fails fast.

Suggested change

	# Sync lock file in case pyproject.toml version was bumped (e.g. by
	# release-please) without a corresponding `uv lock` run. This is a
	# no-op when the lock file is already up to date.
	uv lock
	# Refresh the lockfile, but fail if this produces uncommitted changes.
	# This preserves the original `uv export --locked` semantics: PRs that
	# change dependency constraints without committing the updated `uv.lock`
	# should fail fast instead of auditing CI-regenerated dependencies.
	uv lock
	if ! git diff --no-ext-diff --quiet --exit-code -- uv.lock; then
	echo "::error file=$dir/uv.lock::uv.lock is out of date with the committed project metadata. Run 'uv lock' locally and commit the updated lockfile."
	git --no-pager diff -- uv.lock
	exit 1
