dump_notes_from_server routine

Purpose: Connect to a JSONHTL notes server, retrieve all notes via fetch_all_notes_from_server, render them to HTML, and write them to the specified output directory.

Signature

def dump_notes_from_server(base_url, outdir):
    """
    Retrieve all notes from a JSONHTL server and write them as HTML files.

    :param base_url: Base URL of the JSONHTL notes server

        if not isinstance(doc, dict):
            raise ValueError(f"Document for key '{key}' is not a dict")

        if "content" not in doc:
            raise ValueError(f"Document for key '{key}' missing 'content' field")

Correctness Notes

• Validates that the returned structure is a dict mapping keys to documents.

• Ensures each key is a non-empty string.

• Ensures each document is a dict containing a 'content' field.

• Creates output directory if it does not exist.

• Delegates rendering and writing to existing, already-tested routines.
