[BUG]: README backend setup instructions are incomplete and minor code hygiene issues exist #424
Description
Bug Description
While setting up and running the backend, I noticed a couple of small issues that affect contributor experience and code cleanliness:
README backend instructions
Python version requirements are not explicitly stated
The correct working directory (backend/) is not clearly emphasized
A missing closing code block breaks markdown rendering for sections below
Duplicate imports in backend code
Some backend files contain repeated import statements
This does not break functionality but affects readability and maintainability
These are non-functional issues. I can submit a single PR addressing both if that works.
Scope:
README.md
Backend Python files (duplicate imports only)
Details
README issues
The backend run instructions do not clearly specify the required Python version.
The working directory (backend/) is not explicitly stated in all places.
A missing closing triple backtick breaks Markdown rendering for all sections below it on GitHub.
Code issues
Duplicate imports from transformers are present.
The re module is imported more than once.
These issues do not affect runtime behavior directly but reduce readability and make local setup confusing for new contributors.
