Include all optional extras in the dependency inventory.

uv tree --all-groups does not select the torch, viz, gpu, or cutile profiles declared under [project.optional-dependencies]. The adjacent uv sync --extra ... command documents environment setup, not the inventory command. Add --all-extras:

Suggested fix

-uv tree --locked --all-groups --universal
+uv tree --locked --all-groups --all-extras --universal

Checked the dependency inventory finding with uv 0.12.10. The documented uv tree --locked --all-groups --universal command already includes the torch, viz, gpu, and cutile extras. Adding --all-extras fails with unexpected argument; that flag is not accepted by uv tree. Keeping the working inventory command unchanged.

[melo-gonzo]

Approving with one nit. With the base updated to include the optional distributed runtime inventory, the earlier should-fix from #10 is resolved: paramiko LGPL-2.1, shtab MPL-2.0, the transitive table, and the uv pip freeze reproduction are all here, and the new distribution-contents section is identical to GitLab main; the only remaining delta is one intro paragraph's wording. nit: the commit message still reads "Document external distributed runtime dependencies" while the PR title is "Clarify cuPhoton distribution contents"; the squash title should follow the PR. Live CI green; the two FAILURE entries are superseded runs.
