uv venv does not install pip by default, unlike python -m venv. Hooks like mypy that internally call `python -m pip install` to fetch type stubs fail with "No module named pip" in the created environment. Passing --seed to uv venv restores pip/setuptools availability, matching standard venv behavior and fixing hooks that depend on pip at runtime. Fixes tox-dev#61
