 ## CODING ENVIRONMENT
 
 - Install astral uv using "curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh" if not already installed and if already installed then update it to the latest version
-- Install Python 3.14 using `uv python install 3.14` if not already installed
+- Install Python 3.14.0 stable using `uv python install 3.14.0` if not already installed (requires uv >=0.9; see `[tool.uv] required-version` in `pyproject.toml`)
 - Always use `uv run` to run files instead of the global `python` command.
 - Current uv ruff formatter is set to py314 which has supports multiple exception types without paranthesis (except TypeError, ValueError:)
 - Read `.env.example` for environment variables.
