   `--length` to limit the report to a specific time range. See `sol call transcripts --help` for additional commands.
 - `sol think` runs generators and agents for a single day via Cortex.
 - `python -m think.talents` is the unified execution module for tool talents and generators spawned by Cortex (NDJSON protocol).
-- `sol supervisor` monitors observation heartbeats. Use `--no-observers` to disable local capture (sense still runs for observer uploads and imports).
+- `sol supervisor` monitors journaling health and starts the local services that feed Convey, Cortex, and related background tasks. Use the `--no-*` flags to opt out of specific services when debugging.
 - `sol cortex` starts a Callosum-based service for managing AI agent instances and generators.
 - `sol talent` lists available agents and generators with their configuration. Use `sol talent show <name>` to see details, and `sol talent show <name> --prompt` to see the fully composed prompt that would be sent to the LLM.
