Description

This PR fixes a small detail in the docs about pixi-build-python installer selection which currently say this about uv

pixi/docs/build/backends/pixi-build-python.md

Lines 393 to 397 in a4665db

    
           ## Installer Selection 
        
           The backend automatically detects which Python installer to use: 
        
           - **uv**: Used if `uv` is present in any dependency category (build, host, or run)

but according to the code only the build and host dependencies are checked (not the run dependencies)

	The backend automatically detects which Python installer to use:

	- uv: Used if `uv` is present in any dependency category (build, host, or run)

	let installer =
	Installer::determine_installer_from_names(model_dependencies.build_and_host_names());

	pub fn build_and_host_names(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = &str> {
	self.build
	.keys()
	.chain(self.host.keys())
	.map(\|name\| name.as_ref() as &str)
	.unique()
