Poem

🐰 I hopped through lines both neat and small,
The leaderboard quieted in the hall,
A link now points a gentler way,
A placeholder hums where names once lay,
I twitch my whiskers and bound away.

LEADERBOARD.md (1)

1-18: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Major inconsistency: PR objectives don't match the provided changes.

The PR title and description focus entirely on enhancing README.md with:

• Setup instructions with download links
• Python 3.8+ version requirements
• Verification commands (node, npm, python3)
• Virtual environment setup instructions

However, the only file provided for review is LEADERBOARD.md with contributor data being cleared. No README.md changes are visible in this review.

Additionally, the AI summary mentions "Student Account navigation link" changes that aren't present in the provided file.

Please verify:

1. Are README.md changes missing from this review?
2. Is this the correct PR or has it been mislabeled?
3. Should LEADERBOARD.md changes be in a separate PR?
