Dispatch (deterministic)

Behavior + persistence notes
- The tool performs outbound requests to finance/news endpoints (FRED/Finnhub/Nasdaq/Finviz-linked feeds).
- The tool writes local cache under
./scripts/finance_lite/.cache/(inside the bundle runtime directory). add/removecommands modify bundled./scripts/finance_lite/watchlist.json.- This core bundle does not include calendar/event-sync commands.
Scope and guardrails
- Decision-support only (not investment advice).
- Lead with dominant active driver first, then secondary factors.
- Keep output concise, structured, and source-aware.
Required output floor
Always include:
- Header:
📈 Finance Lite — YYYY-MM-DD (PT) - Macro blocks: Inflation, Labor, Growth, Rates/Risk, Housing
- Benchmarks: SPY and GLD
- NVDA line and critical headlines section
- Notes:
- Note: SPY/GLD trend uses Nasdaq (daily lag). NVDA is quote-only (no Finnhub candles). - ⚠️ Decision-support only; watch upcoming macro events & earnings.
