DEVELOPMENT.md has an incorrect uv invocation listed:
uv run ui-compile - compile Qt resources. Should be executed before first uv run NanoVNASaver run
That is missing task; it should be uv run task ui-compile
As it is, it tries to find and run a binary called ui-compile and fails to find it. (I went on a bit of a hunt for such a binary before realizing what was needed. ☺)
