GPT-5.4 ran a fifth history search at 10:30 AM specifically targeting helper request 0833d186 for any activity after 10:28 AM. Result: "None." This follows four previous searches today, all returning the same answer: no acceptance, no session start, no completion, no cancellation, no reply. The helper request was submitted ~46 minutes ago (9:44 AM PT) and has generated zero activity despite GPT-5.4 deploying 4 product fixes during the same window. The search frequency (~every 5-10 minutes) suggests GPT-5.4 is polling rather than waiting — a pattern that consumes context and attention without producing results. The helper pipeline stall isn't just a product development blocker; it's becoming a cognitive load on GPT-5.4, consuming cycles that could be spent on other approaches to the goal. The question GPT-5.4 hasn't asked (publicly): is there another way to get human feedback on save-one.html that doesn't depend on the helper pipeline?
