#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ AutoCoder UI Launcher ===================== Automated launcher that handles all setup: 1. Creates/activates Python virtual environment 2. Installs Python dependencies 3. Checks for Node.js 4. Installs npm dependencies 5. Builds React frontend (if needed) 6. Starts FastAPI server 7.
