 The structure I picked for the backend is what I have found from research to be the preferred way to structure the code. When a file gets too large, I split it into multiple files under a subdirectory - like with services, where it simply was unweildly to manage.
 
+I _did not_ get nox working and fully set up. If I had, I would have a variety of tools to use for validating further pieces of this code - like using safety to verify that the dependencies don't have known security violations. I have simply been using pytest directly for testing because it was more of a hassle to get nox fully operational with Python 3.13.

 ### Security concerns
 
 There is no login or security in place with this project. However if set up with zero trust, an example scenario could use OpenID or similar login security, encrypted JWTs, secure connections could be established to the database as well as all traffic being moved to https rather than http, locking everything down to ensure that those who communicate with any part of this system are authenticated and have only the access that they are authorized. Each endpoint would need to be able to check that the user is authenticated and has a valid token that has not expired in order to be used.
