Live re-check on 50 recent IndicatorSummary rows after the previous
120 → 300 bump still produced 4 'reviewer returned non-JSON' verdicts
out of 12 rejections. DeepSeek-V4-flash sometimes prefixes its JSON
output with a short stretch of thinking even though response_format
is enforced, which truncates the JSON at the back end of the 300-token
cap.
800 tokens is comfortably above any realistic verdict + preamble at
~$0.00022/call (DeepSeek output rates). Negligible cost given the
hourly call volume.
