Code Style Guidelines

Ruby formulae follow Homebrew's Ruby style
Use 2-space indentation for Ruby files
Python scripts use PEP 8 style with snake_case naming
Formula class names are TitleCase matching the filename
URLs should use HTTPS when available
Include SHA256 checksums for all downloads
Use depends_on for build and runtime dependencies
Include license field for formulae
Add test do...end blocks to verify installation

Error Handling

Use subprocess.run with check=True for Python scripts
Handle CalledProcessError exceptions in update scripts
Validate version strings and URLs before updating
Use tempfile for secure file operations
