## What it does

This server connects your assistant to the Portuguese supermarket Continente.pt over stdio. It allows querying the store catalog, checking unit prices for weighted goods, retrieving favorite lists, and altering cart contents. Browsing works immediately, though managing your basket requires valid store credentials.

Under the hood, the integration drives a headless Chromium browser, which downloads roughly 150 MB of runtime files during initial setup. Every cart mutation is verified by reading the basket state back immediately. When a network timeout causes an ambiguous outcome, the tool reports an unknown state and stops to prevent double additions.

Completing purchases through the assistant is impossible. Checkout steps and card payments remain strictly isolated on the official store website.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `CONTINENTE_EMAIL`, `CONTINENTE_PASSWORD`, `CONTINENTE_CREDENTIALS_FILE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
