Describe the issue

When I attempt to add a custom repo nothing happens. I select custom repositories > fill the repo field with the following "https://github.com/timniklas/hass-govee-ble-lights" select Integration from the drop down list.. add button becomes enabled. I click the Add button and nothing happens... no loader icon, no network requests appear on the Chrome inspector and the custom repo dialog remains the same doesn;t disappear or anything... Literally nothing happens when I click "Add"

2. fill the repo field with the following "https://github.com/timniklas/hass-govee-ble-lights"
3. select Integration from the drop down list
4. click the Add button

Similar problem with a different repo (https://github.com/CharlesGillanders/homeassistant-alphaESS), which I had added before, too. After reinstalling HACS (to debug an issue similar to #4235), I tried adding the repo, first it did not add, then after a while it got added, but I still could not find the integration in the list. After a restart of HA the custom repo was gone again.

The issue might be related to running HA in a container. There have been changes to how some things in HA are handled recently, leading to issues with HACS and custom integrations that have python dependencies when running HA in a container (see home-assistant/core#127966 and https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-is-going-on-with-docker-container-installs-and-third-party-integrations-that-need-python-modules/806430/5). It seems to be mainly related to switching from pip to uv, but also how core detects that it's running in a container.

I realize the dependency issue might not be the focus of HACS (as you also closed #4235), but wanted to mention it just in case this is also leading to some HACS functionality (like here adding custom repos) not working correctly.

Most probably there's not much HACS and HACS users can do to fix besides running one of the still working workarounds and/or waiting for a real fix in core.
