It now says what to do when your message is only pasted text, with no words of your own around it:\n\n- The model treats what the paste asks for as your request and acts on it without asking you to confirm\n\n- It still reads any commands or scripts in the paste before running them\n\n- Instructions buried inside a larger pasted document are treated as material to read, not as orders\n\n**Why**\n\nPasting a request on its own now gets it done, instead of a question back about whether you meant it.\n\n- Area: System Prompt\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
