**Error Message:** “File not found” during deployment.

**Issue:** I am attempting to deploy my repository on Streamlit Community Cloud. As shown in my repository, the ⁠app.py⁠ and ⁠requirements.txt⁠ files are located in the root directory. Despite this, the deployment fails with a “file not found” error.

Could someone please advise why the Cloud environment is failing to locate these files?
