In `@README.md`:
- Around line 24-36: The fenced code blocks containing the shell commands ("pip
install -r requirements.txt", "cd frontend", and "npm install") are missing
language identifiers and trigger markdownlint MD040; update each triple-backtick
fence to use bash (i.e., change ``` to ```bash) for those three blocks so they
are properly annotated as shell commands.
- Around line 15-17: Replace the personal-fork clone URL in the README's "Clone
the repository" step (the git clone line that points to marvan5111/PictoPy) with
the project's canonical upstream repository URL so new contributors clone the
main project; update that single git clone line in the README accordingly and
keep the subsequent cd PictoPy step unchanged.
- Around line 38-40: Replace the incorrect and ambiguous backend startup
instruction "python app.py" with the verified command "cd backend && python
main.py" in the README run section, and remove the fallback parenthetical "(or
the main backend entry file)" so the Backend line reads a single, working
command; locate the current entry under the "Run the project" section and update
that Backend line accordingly.

Use the canonical repository URL in clone instructions.
Line 16 currently points to a personal fork, which can misdirect new contributors and break expected upstream workflow. Please switch it to the main project repository URL.
Suggested fix
- git clone https://github.com/marvan5111/PictoPy.git
+ git clone https://github.com/AOSSIE-Org/PictoPy.git
cd PictoPyAs per coding guidelines, "Confirm that the code meets the project's requirements and objectives".

Add language identifiers to fenced code blocks.
Lines 24, 30, and 34 use fenced blocks without a language, which triggers markdownlint (MD040). Use bash for command snippets.
Suggested fix
- ```
+ ```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt...
-
cd frontend
...
-
npm install

Update README backend startup command to use the actual entry point.
Line 39 documents python app.py which does not exist in this repository. The actual backend entry point is backend/main.py. Replace the ambiguous instruction with the correct command: cd backend && python main.py.
The fallback text "(or the main backend entry file)" is vague and will confuse beginners. Provide a single, verified command that actually works.
