Research direction
Use the three requested topics as the outline: when numba is useful, code changes such as nested mutable types and non-vectorised operations, and debugging including the environment variable affecting numba lists. Review the documentation repository for the appropriate location, and consider the notes complete when each topic is covered clearly with short, practical guidance.
