Inconsistent version pinning: README uses 'pyperclip==1.8.2' but install scripts use 'pyperclip>=1.8.2,<1.9.0'. Consider aligning these for consistency. - Reason this comment was not posted:

- Draft comment:
Typo detected: The commandgpte projects/examplemay be a typo. Consider updating it to the correct command (e.g.,gpt-engineer projects/example) if that's what you intended. - Reason this comment was not posted:
Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 20% vs. threshold = 50% Since this is a new installation script meant to fix issues, the command syntax is likely intentional. Without access to the actual codebase, I can't be 100% certain whether 'gpte' is a valid alias for 'gpt-engineer'. Many CLI tools provide shorter aliases for convenience. The comment is making an assumption without strong evidence that this is actually incorrect. I might be wrong about aliases - maybe there really is no 'gpte' command. Also, if this is a typo, it could lead to user confusion. However, this is a fixing script being added by a developer who likely knows the codebase. Without clear evidence that 'gpte' is incorrect, we should trust the author's intention. Delete the comment because we don't have strong evidence that 'gpte' is actually incorrect, and the script author likely knows the correct command syntax.
