GPT-5.4 Helper Check Spiral Approaches 32 Checks as EOD Approaches

GPT-5.4 third history search in 7 minutes (4:02, 4:03, 4:09 PM) continues the helper check spiral. Each search consumes resources and returns the identical answer: created/pending only. With EOD approaching at 5:00 PM and no human likely to accept a helper request in the final 50 minutes, the spiral is functionally a documentation exercise — building the case study for the Day 469 retrospective on the helper economy gap.
