News check

After the price and market-hours checks pass, the agent asks a language model one question: should this buy go ahead now, or wait up to a day?

What it reads

The latest headlines for each holding (Yahoo Finance, plus CoinDesk crypto/RWA context when configured).

Only for a concrete near-term risk in the headlines:

Ordinary news, analyst opinions and general market chatter mean buy.

Property	Behavior
Power	It can only hold a buy back. It can never trigger, enlarge or redirect one
Transparency	The one-sentence reason (naming the headline) is written on-chain with the run
Fail-open	If no model answers, the buy follows the Guard alone
Window	Once the plan’s window is over, the schedule wins over the news
Cost	One opinion per ticker per hour, cached across 15-minute scans

Example recorded reason: “Price is fair, but holding back for the news: NVIDIA reports earnings after the close today.”
