-standard does not allow these common patterns.
+`project.dependencies` defines the standards-compliant dependency metadata, propagated when

+`tool.uv.sources` enriches the dependency metadata with additional sources, incorporated during

+registry.
+
+`tool.uv.sources` enables uv to support common patterns like editable installations and relative
+paths that are not supported by the `project.dependencies` standard. For example:

+```toml title="pyproject.toml"
+[project]
