+- Smart free-text chat with local fallback and an optional fully tool-capable Hermes backend behind exact-origin authentication. Answers that describe the journal cite the confirmed records they used, and every citation opens that record; a question the journal cannot answer gets boundary copy instead of reassurance.
 - Portable JSON export and delete-all control.
 - A Timmy voice that is playful about logging and serious about red flags.
 - A short user-reported follow-up after a hard/lumpy (Bristol 1–2) log: difficulty passing, soreness, visible blood, truly black/tarry versus dark brown, and hydration. Mild reports receive proportionate non-diagnostic self-care; a confirmed red flag routes into the existing deterministic escalation, and dark brown is never silently escalated as black stool.
