Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:

• Consider making the copyright line in conf.py consistent with README.md in terms of year ranges and company-name formatting (including use of commas and wording like UG (haftungsbeschränkt) vs UG (haftungsbeschraenkt)), so the attribution is uniform across the project.

## Overall Comments
- Consider making the copyright line in `conf.py` consistent with `README.md` in terms of year ranges and company-name formatting (including use of commas and wording like `UG (haftungsbeschränkt)` vs `UG (haftungsbeschraenkt)`), so the attribution is uniform across the project.

**suggestion (typo):** Consider using the proper umlaut spelling for 'haftungsbeschränkt' for legal/branding accuracy.

If UTF-8 is fully supported in the build and docs pipeline, consider using `haftungsbeschränkt` to reflect the official entity name. If ASCII-only is required here, a brief comment or note in the docs would help prevent oscillating changes in the future.
