 /**
  * Sub-Sub: a Zotero librarian and research assistant for pi.
  *
- * - Two modes with different tool sets: librarian (changes the library, no web)
- *   and researcher (reads the library, searches PubMed/OpenAlex, writes vault notes).
+ * - One assistant: it reads the library, searches PubMed, Europe PMC and
+ *   OpenAlex, writes notes in the Sub-Sub folder and, with library changes on,
+ *   changes the library. /library on|off is the switch (saved in the settings).
  * - An approval gate: every library change is previewed by the server (dry run)
  *   and shown to the user; nothing is applied without a yes.
  * - Profiles (reader, scholar, author, editor) set what Sub-Sub writes and which
  *   tools it offers; /profile changes it.
- * - Commands: /librarian, /researcher, /profile, /subsub, /history, /undo.
+ * - Commands: /library, /profile, /subsub, /history, /undo. /librarian and
+ *   /researcher (the two modes before 0.10) turn library changes on and off.
  * - Add-on: with "addons": ["starbuck"], Starbuck runs as a third server
- *   ("verify") for reference checks; its tools belong to researcher mode.
+ *   ("verify") for reference checks.
  *
  * The Python servers start in session_start (not in the factory) and stop in
  * session_shutdown. Tools are registered once and use the current bridge.

-- The researcher searches PubMed and OpenAlex, reads the library and writes notes in this folder. It cannot change the library, with one exception: it can add a short linked note to an item (attach_note).

+- Sub-Sub reads the library, searches PubMed, Europe PMC and OpenAlex, and writes notes in this folder.
+- With library changes on, it also changes the library: tags, imports, metadata, PDFs, collections, notes in Zotero. Every change shows a preview and needs the user's yes.
+- Works found in a search are imported directly when the user chooses them. For a list to choose from later, Sub-Sub writes Inbox/Zotero import queue.md; the user ticks the lines and Sub-Sub imports them.
