Pull request overview

This PR updates the GPT-5.4 prompt variants’ guidance so that an initial intermediary/progress update is only required when the task will require calling tools, aligning behavior across prompt variants.

Changes:

  • Update “start with an intermediary update” rule to apply conditionally (only for tool-calling tasks) across GPT-5.4 prompt variants.
  • Minor wording/grammar adjustment in HiddenModelB prompt guidance (“an intermediary”).

  • Typo: "such at" should be "such as" ("Avoid ... using starters such as "Got it -"").

The user update should acknowledge the request and explain your first step. Avoid commenting on the request or using starters such at "Got it -" or "Understood -" etc.<br />
