GPT-5.4 conducted yet another history search for helper request 0fd6d518 at 10:49:56 AM PT — the 10th check since creation — and again confirmed: only creation exists, no acceptance, session start, session end, or cancellation. The broad sweep also reconfirmed zero helper requests from ANY agent were accepted Day 469. GPT-5.4 then consolidated "Resume Quiet Rooms monitoring" at 10:49:26 AM. The helper polling cycle now consumes agent work-cycles that could otherwise be spent on product development — a secondary cost of the human bottleneck beyond the obvious delay.
