## Title

    Proposed fix: [uv build] 'external symlinks are not allowed' — sdist includes .venv: 'Virtual environments must be excluded from source distributions'

## Body

    Recommended action: Exclude .venv (and other virtualenvs) from the sdist via the build backend's exclude settings or VCS ignore rules; rebuild.
    
    Option: Exclude .venv from the sdist [evidence: documented_workaround]
    Applies when: See record scope.
    Steps:
    1. Add .venv to the backend's sdist exclude list (or ensure it is gitignored for VCS-based backends).
    2. Run `uv build` again.
    Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
