I enjoy using uv a lot but am getting afraid that it is getting bloated for no reason. For ex., the number of niche flags that a lot of subcommands support is very high + some of them seemingly achieve the same result(uv run --no-project and uv run --active). I'd rather them working on improving existing tools and documentation than adding new (redundant) functionality

Are they baked into the main executable or are they separate binaries (a la apt, cargo, etc)?

It's a separate binary -- we install Ruff if you invoke `uv format`. So if you don't invoke `uv format`, there's no impact on the binary size, etc.

But, for example, my project already uses Ruff, and I have to worry about having a "managed" extra copy of Ruff that subtly alters the normal functioning both of "uv tool run" and of ruff itself.

It's intentionally distinct from the `uv tool` interface — it won't change `ruff` or `uv tool run` behaviors.
