At last, the cat is out of the bag: it's publication day of 'Heraldry in Urban Society: Visual Culture and Communication in Late Medieval England and Germany' (academic.oup.com/book/58666)! Coincidentally both cats and bags feature, among many other things...

In another coincidence, the cat-out-of-the-bag idiom works in English and German, just like heraldry did in English and German cities of the later Middle Ages. ;)

It was easier than anticipated, a least having a little previous Docker knowledge. Perhaps you have got a much more insightful use case in mind than I. This pet project certainly made me all the more excited to see what Digital Humanities people can/will do with LLMs...

Historians and medievalists aren't (yet) impressed with the likes of ChatGPT. One frequent complaint is that the data on which responses are based is unclear/unreliable/superficial. And the AI is not very good at revealing them either (even fabricating bogus citations).
