There is no command for answering "are we on the latest versions?" — it currently means running uv pip list --outdated by hand and knowing that empty output means nothing is behind.

uv pip list --outdated prints nothing when everything is current, which is indistinguishable from the check having failed to run. A target should report a row per dependency either way, so a clean result is visibly a result.

Scope: direct dependencies only, on demand rather than in the default run or CI, exit 0 regardless. A new upstream release is news, not a build failure.
