Lesson 1: Being findable: write it up so others can use it

Module 14 · Lesson 1 · About 40 minutes · Needs: the BrightCart project from Modules 7 to 13 (any part of it is enough)
The situation
BrightCart's assistant works: it retrieves the right article, refuses injected instructions and runs behind an API. None of that is visible from outside. The repository's README says "BrightCart bot. Run main.py." Dev has a new engineer starting on Monday who must run it. You want to show it to an employer who has ten minutes.
This lesson makes the project something a stranger can find, run and trust, and builds the reading and contributing habits that keep you current.
