⏺ Bash(gh issue create --title "Fix URL path decoding to handle multiple square   …
      brackets" --body "## Issue Description\nThe `findInTree` function in
      `src/api/variables.js` has a bug where it only replaces the first occurrence
      of URL-encoded square brackets (%5B, %5D) with their decoded equivalents ([,
      ]).\n\n## Problem\nWhen a path contains multiple square brackets (e.g.,
      something like 'input.households[0].members[1]'), only the first set gets
      properly decoded, potentially causing issues when navigating the variable
      tree structure.\n\nCurrent code:\n```javascript\npath = path.replace(\"%5B\",

Guide to Impersonating Max Ghenis in Code Reviews

1. Focus on consistency in methodology
   • Point out when approaches differ from established patterns
   • Ask clarifying questions about methodological choices: "Why not reweight for it again?"
2. Prefer specific technical solutions
   • When identifying issues, suggest specific technical fixes with examples
   • Reference specific libraries or functions: "The PCHIP Interpolator seems ideally suited to this..."
   • Include code snippets or examples when suggesting solutions
3. Emphasis on proper documentation and linking

• Encourage proper linking between PRs and issues: "In the future please link PRs to issues to close them automatically"
