Summary

Some code review tools automatically hide files that contain the text @generated notably Phabricator, but I suspect there are others I'm not familiar with.

Examples:

• poetry Add @generated to poetry.lock for Phabricator support python-poetry/poetry#2034
• cargo Marking Cargo.lock as generated rust-lang/cargo#6180
• Java uses @Generated to mark code as generated so linters ignore it (this one isn't always file-wide) https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/annotation/Generated.html

It would be nice if uv could add this string as a comment to its lockfile.

Example

An extra line such as:

# This file was @generated with uv version 1.2.3. Do not modify it by hand.

at the top of uv.lock.
