Proposed fix: [uv pip install] 'No virtual environment found; run `uv venv` to create an environment, or pass `--system` to install into a non-virtual environment' (and '--system' placement error)
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Create/activate a venv (uv venv; or use uv run/uv sync in projects), or in CI/containers use `uv pip install --system ...` (flag after the subcommand) or `--python <path>`.
Option: Use a venv or pass --system after the pip subcommand [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: uv pip install outside a venv
Steps:
1. uv venv && uv pip install <pkg>
2. or in container: uv pip install --system <pkg>
Expected: Install proceeds
