Spatial VQA answers (bbox / keypoint) were trained as pixel-coordinate
JSON, which fights PaliGemma's detection prior and leaks <loc>-token
salad at inference. Convert them to PaliGemma's native <locNNNN>
vocabulary instead so the LM head reuses that prior.
Training side (text_processor_pi052.py): a target turn whose content
parses as a bbox/keypoint answer is rewritten to <loc> text, using the
camera frame's native (H, W) from the observation and the preceding
image block. Non-spatial answers, subtask/memory targets and SmolVLA2
keep their JSON form — the dataset stays backbone-agnostic.
Runtime side (smolvla2/inference/vqa.py): parse_vqa_answer detects
<loc> answers (2 locs -> keypoint, 4 -> bbox), returning normalized
[0,1] coords with a normalized flag; draw_vqa_overlay denormalizes
against the chosen camera frame's pixel size.

Covers private helpers in recipe.py, language.py, language_render.py,
and render_messages_processor.py. Also reverts uv.lock to main (it was
re-generated by `uv run` during local checks).

* feat(ci): add uv.lock
* feat(ci): use uv.lock in CI PR testing
* chore(ci): rename nightly to docker publish and test
* feat(ci): automated update of uv.lock + remove unbound check + docker images now use uv.lock
