Failed to load bakebook after dependency sync - bakefile

When bakefile.py fails to import because a dependency is missing, bake runs uv sync automatically and retries. If loading still fails:

Failed to load bakebook after dependency sync. Try running `uv cache clean` to resolve potential caching issues.

Fixes, in order:

Run uv cache clean and retry.
For a PEP 723 bakefile, check that every import is declared in the inline # dependencies block.
For a pyproject.toml project, run uv sync --all-extras --all-groups.
A traceback here usually means a real bug in bakefile.py. Check it compiles:

python -m py_compile bakefile.py
