Thanks for the detailed review

I wouldn't call that detailed. It was what glared at me from skimming for a couple of minutes.

was calling pip install --break-system-packages at runtime, which is indefensible

"You" still have three instances left of runtime pip install --break-system-packages without user interaction, one of which dead code.

I think the follow-up beautifully clarified the "is this vibecoded?" question too.

Labeling it 1.0.0 seems premature to say the least.

I needed an open beta over the weekend to finalize a solid version. I've been working on this project since November, and at some point you can't look at your own code with fresh eyes anymore. Anyone who codes will know exactly what I mean. A new version is now online. Everything you mentioned isn't relevant anymore. On the "is this vibecoded?" question, honestly, I find it disrespectful. I've put in hundreds of hours since November, plus another 15+ hours this past weekend, and the implicit suggestion that GPT wrote the thing isn't a fair take. Disagree with design choices, sure, that's a real conversation. But that framing isn't it. Also, on an open source project, opening an issue on Codeberg is way more constructive than chatting on a forum. That's where actual fixes happen.
