What you are building

One server grows in two files: Module 3's tools, then resources, the prompt and a confirming create_note (blue), Zotero by URL, a script that calls the model (amber) and nine tests (green).

It is Thursday 17 September 2026, the end of week 2. Nare wants her notes in a sidebar that updates by itself, a /summarise_topic sleep command, a question before the assistant saves a note that looks like one she already has, and Priya wants her Zotero references without typing her key into a chat. The four lessons built each of these in a separate notebook server. This lab puts them on one server, built on Module 3's canonical build_m03_server, in two repository files: examples/m04_server.py (resources, the prompt, change events and a confirming create_note) and examples/m04_interaction_server.py (the same server plus import_zotero and its /connect/zotero page). A script sends Nare's slash command to a model, and tests/test_m04_interaction.py holds it all in place.
