I was having some trouble running `uv build` locally, and it turns out that the hatchling build backend includes every non-git-ignored file in an sdist. An emacs lock file broke the build for me, but this notably also includes any virtualenvs that may be in the repo root, which isn't quite what we want.
David spotted that it's only for sdists that hatchling bundles the entire project root into by default. We don't need to mess with the defaults for wheels, so let's not.
We also want the docs in our sdists, and there are a couple other files in the root that we needed to both run tests correctly and build the docs.
