What happened
When trying to update Invoke via the desktop app, the app fails to parse the users uv configuration.
- Invoke version: v6.14.0-rc1
- Install location: /Users/samm/Applications/InvokeAI
- Python version: 3.12

This is likely as Invoke's bundled uv is too old to parse exclude-newer durations in user config.
Updating via the desktop app fails when ~/.config/uv/uv.toml sets a relative-duration cooldown. uv reads the user's global config regardless of which binary invoked it, so the bundled uv chokes on config that works everywhere else.
The uv.toml is valid and follows package manager best practices to prevent packages newer than n days from being installed as a security measure by setting exclude-newer = "3 days".
uv's exclude-newer is:
- Valid uv configuration since Dec 2025.
- Follows security best practices.
- Is set in my global uv.toml and works with everything else.
- Offers
exclude-newer-package = { package_name = false } for overrides.

Temporarily commenting out the setting in uv.toml allows the updater to work.
What you expected to happen
Invoke to update without issue, by correctly passing the users uv.toml.
How to reproduce the problem
- Set
exclude-newer = "3 days" in ~/.config/uv/uv.toml
- Try updating invoke via the 'Invoke Community Edition' desktop app
