What is the correct way to add the highest compatible version of selected packages?

[shaunhegarty]

This could be a misunderstanding on my part, but when I use rye add somepackage my expectation was that it would do some package resolution to determine the best compatible mix of selected packages.

Here's an explicit example:

rye add --pre honeycomb-opentelemetry opentelemetry-instrumentation

Added honeycomb-opentelemetry>=0.5.0b0 as regular dependency
Added opentelemetry-instrumentation>=0.46b0 as regular dependency
Reusing already existing virtualenv
Generating production lockfile: /home/shaun/projects/pkgtest/requirements.lock
  × No solution found when resolving dependencies:
  ╰─▶ Because honeycomb-opentelemetry==0.5.0b0 depends on opentelemetry-instrumentation>=0.43b0,<0.44 and only honeycomb-opentelemetry<=0.5.0b0 is available, we can conclude that honeycomb-opentelemetry>=0.5.0b0 depends on
      opentelemetry-instrumentation>=0.43b0,<0.44.
      And because you require honeycomb-opentelemetry>=0.5.0b0 and opentelemetry-instrumentation>=0.46b0, we can conclude that the requirements are unsatisfiable.
error: could not write production lockfile for project

But if use uv directly, I can do this and it works just fine:

uv pip install --pre honeycomb-opentelemetry opentelemetry-instrumentation

It seems that rye add always adds the latest versions to the pyproject.toml and then tries to work it out, which it obviously can't. Is there an alternate usage I'm missing?
