Summary
When uv tool uninstall is called with multi pkg names and the first tool has a missing/corrupt receipt (such as dangling install), uv removes that tool's environment and then returns early, skipping other remaining names. The user sees a "Removed dangling environment for <first>" message and exit code 0, but the remaining tools are not uninstalled.
Code snippet I tried to reproduce it.
