It appears some python package dependency is not being fulfilled. But the python environment listed in the context appears to meet the minimal requirements specified in the documentation. I must be missing something. Feedback on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Reproduce

This extension error occurs during the jupyterlab server start. The server as a whole starts fine. Other jupyterlab extensions are loaded correctly.

Expected behavior

Expected behavior is for this extension to load without error.

Context

• OS: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
• Python: 3.10.5
• Python Environment
  • jupyterlab==3.5.0
  • jupyterhub==3.1.1
  • jupyter_ai==1.8.1

This likely is because of an outdated JupyterLab 3.x version. The latest release is v3.6.6. v3.6.0 introduced a lot of changes to JupyterLab, so using a v3.6.x version is definitely preferable.
