  "summary": "Orbit V3 is a research and learning workspace built using Astro, Three.js, and Sanity. It combines a manipulable atom, a versioned research dossier, a learning laboratory, a projects space, eight Colab activities, and a portable Sanity Studio plugin. The platform allows a browser assistant to discover and use bounded WebMCP tools while giving the learner control over access to personal work and ensuring that consequential decisions remain examinable by a human. The Orbit V3 project began as a research companion, with the goal of asking focused questions, examining sources, and understanding how an assistant reached conclusions. Over time, it evolved into a teaching tool, helping learners turn an assistant's answer into something they can explain, test, and use elsewhere. The project includes a research foundation and a teaching use, with the learner building a frontend with a personal assistant, and the author teaching from the work they choose to bring back.",
