🛠️ The "Zero-Friction" Setup Tool

To avoid naming errors, do not create folders manually. We provide a Python wizard (setup_submission.py) that generates the strict folder structure required for grading.

Usage:

1. Open your terminal inside the repository folder.
2. Run the wizard:

python3 setup_submission.py

3. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your Group Protocol or Capstone Project folder.
