Closing reviews always saved, Consult answers in seconds, a drawdown-day routine for the desk

What changed for people using Bellwether

• The desk's closing review is always kept. When the Portfolio Manager writes more than a field allows, the extra is trimmed and reported instead of the whole end-of-day review being thrown away. Thesis reviews, lessons and the note the next morning reads first now survive a verbose day.
• Consult answers start in seconds. You see what Consult is doing ("Reading positions", "Pulling quotes") within a couple of seconds and the answer appears as it is written. Questions your book's snapshot already answers, like exposure, cash, holdings or stops, need no extra reads at all.
• A routine for drawdown days. When a book steps down through a drawdown level during the session, the Portfolio Manager re-reads the account and positions, places no new buys in that check, and protects every at-risk name before anything else.

What you may notice

• The day report's header names the broker and the paper or live account your book actually trades on.
• Admin › Health has a "Consult speed" card: how quickly the first words and the full answer arrived over recent answers, once enough of them are on record.
• While Consult is writing a table you see one quiet progress line in its place ("Drawing a table, 3 rows so far…") rather than a frozen answer.
• If the connection drops mid-answer, Consult says "reconnecting" and fetches the finished answer; nothing is lost.
• On a phone, Consult's message footer sits above the tab bar and long screen names wrap inside the bubble.
• When something the desk wrote had to be trimmed, the session's activity line says which fields and by how much.

Known gaps and what’s next

• Each Consult answer still spends about a second starting up; a faster start is built and is switched on after one more check.
• Cheaper desk sessions, a daily AI budget that grows with the number of books, and a console-wide typography clean-up arrive in the next releases.
• On a book with four or more positions, about one drawdown-day check in ten stops safely before it finishes because its spending limit is small; that limit is being raised.
