start_ui.sh compatibility issues in Linux environments that use uv/pip3 #168

Description

@derhally

The start_ui.sh script has several compatibility issues that prevented it from working in certain Linux environments:

Problems:

  1. Hardcoded pip command - Script assumed pip was available, but many systems only have pip3
  2. Hardcoded python command - The script detected the correct Python command (python3, python3.11, etc.) but then used hardcoded python at the end, causing "command not found" errors
  3. No uv support - Modern Python projects increasingly use uv for faster package management
  4. Weak shebang - Used #!/bin/bash instead of the more portable #!/usr/bin/env bash
  5. Limited Python version checking - Didn't verify Python 3.11+ requirement upfront
