NoteHow this book works

Every chapter is a Jupyter notebook or QMD file meant to be run top to bottom, not just read. Along the way you will see four recurring markers:

Marker	Purpose
Key Concept	The core idea, precisely defined
Activity	Hands-on challenge: fill in the ... yourself before moving on
Common Mistake	A bug pattern worth recognising on sight
Pro Tip	A production-grade habit
