Subject: [PATCH 1/2] chore: delete requirements.txt

It contained `-e .[dev]`, an editable install that contradicts the locked
`uv sync --all-extras --no-editable` workflow used by CI and CONTRIBUTING.

+## Install
+
+This project uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) and a committed `uv.lock` as
+its single source of truth for dependencies. There is no `requirements.txt`.
+
+```bash
+uv sync --all-extras
+```
+
+CI installs with `uv sync --all-extras --no-editable`, which is also what a
+`pip install chained-eclipse` user effectively gets. Prefer `--no-editable`
+locally when reproducing a CI failure.
+
 ## Development setup
 
 ```bash
