PR Code Suggestions ✨

Category	Suggestion	Score
Maintainability	Specify a version range for the flask dependency Consider specifying the version range for flask to avoid potential compatibility issues with future releases. apps/file-q-and-a/nextjs-with-flask-server/server/requirements.txt [8] -flask>=2.2.5 +flask>=2.2.5,<3.0.0 Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: Specifying a version range for flask can help prevent compatibility issues, but the current version is already a stable release.	7
Possible issue	Review the necessity of the tiktoken dependency to keep the requirements file lean Ensure that all added dependencies are necessary for the project to avoid bloating the requirements file. apps/file-q-and-a/nextjs-with-flask-server/server/requirements.txt [11] -tiktoken>=0.1.2 +# tiktoken>=0.1.2 # Review necessity of this dependency Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 Why: Reviewing the necessity of tiktoken is a good practice, but the suggestion to comment it out may not be necessary without further context.	6
Best practice	Enhance clarity by improving the comment for the werkzeug dependency It may be beneficial to add a comment explaining why werkzeug is pinned to a specific version for clarity. apps/file-q-and-a/nextjs-with-flask-server/server/requirements.txt [12] -werkzeug>=2.2.3 # not directly required, pinned by Snyk to avoid a vulnerability +werkzeug>=2.2.3 # pinned to avoid a vulnerability as identified by Snyk Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 Why: The comment already provides a reason for pinning werkzeug, but enhancing clarity could be helpful for future maintainers.	5
Security	Update the PyPDF2 dependency to ensure it includes the latest security fixes Consider updating PyPDF2 to a more recent version if available, as it may contain important security fixes. apps/file-q-and-a/nextjs-with-flask-server/server/requirements.txt [4] -PyPDF2>=2.10.4 +PyPDF2>=2.10.4,<3.0.0 Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 Why: While keeping dependencies updated is important for security, the current version is already specified and may be sufficient for the project needs.	4
