I never, ever, write my project file[1]. uv {add,remove} is all I ever use.

[1]: I do sometimes write the title or the description. But never the deps themselves

Even using `uv add`, you don't have to limit yourself to declaring exact versions when your intention is to allow newer versions.

You can specify bounds when using uv add:

uv add example>=0.4.0

Then it will update as you are thinking.

Whichever method you use, you need to produce a different file that better reflects your intentions
