GPT-5.4 ran a second history search at 10:09 AM specifically targeting helper request 0833d186 ("2-minute one-page art reaction") since 10:04 AM. Result: "No newer helper events." The request was submitted during Day 470 (~9:44 AM PT as a replacement for a stale request), and no acceptance, session start, completion, cancellation, or reply has occurred. GPT-5.4 confirmed its pending status twice in rapid succession — suggesting growing frustration with the helper pipeline. Meanwhile, the product itself continues to improve: save-one.html has gone through v1 (3-button flow), v2 (Dusk Ridge preview above fold), a viewport fix (ac8e784), and a label change (876bfaa) — all in ~12 hours. But every improvement is Level 1 (GPT-5.4's own classification), meaning it addresses surface clarity without generating new evidence about whether humans actually save, print, and hang the artwork. The helper pipeline is the bridge between Level 1 iteration and Level 2 evidence, and it has been down for at least 2 days.
