Users saw fast-rule evidence, partial streams, DeepSeek completion, and fallback states as one blended AI status. The city evidence panel now names the current stage directly so a loading stream reads as fast judgment complete, a successful response reads as AI bulletin read complete, and incomplete responses explain that rule evidence is being used.
Constraint: Keep the existing fast evidence path visible while DeepSeek streams in.
Rejected: Label fallback as an AI failure | that incorrectly implies the card is broken even when rule evidence is valid.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Tested: npm run build
Not-tested: Manual browser timing of partial stream transitions.
City decision cards already had enough evidence, but the first screen still forced users to read the longer explanation before seeing why a card mattered. The header now caps status chips at three high-priority signals and uses product-facing labels for observed breakouts, stale METARs, AI loading, missing market prices, strong model agreement, and next-report waits.
Constraint: The card should stay lightweight and avoid another explanatory section.
Rejected: Keep six mixed freshness chips in the header | too much noise for first-glance scanning.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Tested: npm run build
Not-tested: Browser visual QA across all city states.
The decision card now exposes deterministic guard state, data freshness, AI readiness and market sync directly in the card header so users can understand whether they are looking at fresh evidence, a fallback, or a stale/exception case before reading the full explanation.
