Artifact auto_open guidance now tells Claude to skip it for connector-backed content like Claude Docs

What

The instructions Claude Code gives to Claude about the artifact auto_open setting now explicitly say to leave it out when the artifact's content is written through a connector, such as a Claude Docs document, rather than through a normal publish or store step.

Why

Connector-backed content doesn't go through the publish/store write that would normally trigger the artifact to open, so setting auto_open in that case wouldn't do anything. The updated guidance stops Claude from adding a setting that has no effect for these artifact types.
