description	Creates a shell script to build and run the Flutter web app on Cloud Shell using a local HTTP server.

GenUI Workshop - Run on Cloud Shell

Goal: Create a script to easily build and serve the Flutter web app on Cloud Shell.

Instructions: Use your code editing tools to create a shell script in the root of the project and make it executable.

1. Create a file named run_cloud_shell.sh in the root directory of the project with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
# Builds the web target and serves it on port 8080
flutter build web
python3 -m http.server 8080 --directory build/web

2. Make the script executable by running the following command:

chmod +x run_cloud_shell.sh

(Note: We use python3 instead of python just in case python isn't mapped to Python 3 in the environment, though python -m http.server as written in the README is also fine if python points to python 3.)
