 ### 🚀 New Features
 
-- Most commands now accept a `--backend` option to specify the package manager backend to use. Up to this point, `uv` was the only supported backend. Now, a `--backend=none` option is available to use usethis without `uv`. This is a step toward supporting other backends such as Poetry in the future. When unspecified, heuristics will be used to determine the backend.

-- `pre-commit` configurations are now more conventional, preferring URL-based repo configuration instead of local repos with `language: system`. The previous behaviour was designed to ensure synchronization of versions between the `uv` lockfile and the `pre-commit` configuration, but this is now provided by the `sync-with-uv` pre-commit hook, which is added automatically when using `pre-commit` with `uv`.

 ### 🔧 Internal Changes
 
-- The CI configuration has been overhauled. `uv` is used in more conventional ways. A runner has been added for bleeding edge dependency versions. The CI now runs on a cron schedule. `zizmor` has been added for security scanning. Permissions are more tightly scoped and explained. All actions have been bumped to their latest versions.

 - The pre-commit hooks have been migrated to use `prek` rather than `pre-commit` for development.

 ### 🐞 Bug Fixes
 
-- When subprocessing `uv`, the `usethis init` command will no longer use the default for `--build-backend`, and instead will always explicitly use `hatch`. This may change in the future if the default supported build backend for `usethis` becomes `uv_build`, which is the new default for `uv` v0.8.0. This change avoids creating broken config which mixes `uv_build` with `hatch` config.

 - When adding Import Linter while using Ruff, the `INP` rules are selected, but ignored for the tests directory. However, no message would be displayed in cases where those rules were already selected but not already ignored. Now, a message will be displayed in this case.

 ### 🔧 Internal Changes
 
-- Changes to the `CI` and the test suite have been made to support `uv` v0.8.0. Newer features of `uv` are now required in the CI configuration, meaning the lowest tested version of `uv` is now v0.6.8. Going forward, it is not recommended to use older versions of `uv` with `usethis`.
