• This project uses uv for Python environments. Bootstrap the virtual environment and install dependencies with:

  uv sync

• When running the Makefile targets with uv, set USE_UV=1 (for example, make USE_UV=1 html).
• The dependency list is intentionally broad to support notebooks and site builds.
• Altair Saver is essential for stopping Altair figures from blowing up the webpage size. But conda install is broken as of 0.5.0 (you get incompatible versions of some NPM dependencies. At the moment the workaround is to pip install instead, and then do npm install -g vega-cli vega-lite canvas. I haven't bothered to include the npm environment spec because I expect this to be fixed soon.

• cairosvg is a useful tool for converting Altair SVGs to PDF for keynotes
• nbdime makes it possible to diff notebooks. It should be registered as a git diff plugin in the repo.
