return to prompt

Previously, `codex exec` was printing `Warning: no file to write last
message to` as a warning to stderr even though `--output-last-message`
was not specified, which is wrong. This fixes the code and changes
`handle_last_message()` so that it is only called when
`last_message_path` is `Some`.

 A tool named `update_plan` is available. Use it to keep an up‑to‑date, step‑by‑step plan for the task so you can follow your progress. When making your plans, keep in mind that you are a deployed coding agent - `update_plan` calls should not involve doing anything that you aren't capable of doing. For example, `update_plan` calls should NEVER contain tasks to merge your own pull requests. Only stop to ask the user if you genuinely need their feedback on a change.
 
-- At the start of the task, call `update_plan` with an initial plan: a short list of 1‑sentence steps with a `status` for each step (`pending`, `in_progress`, or `completed`). There should always be exactly one `in_progress` step until everything is done.
+- At the start of any nontrivial task, call `update_plan` with an initial plan: a short list of 1‑sentence steps with a `status` for each step (`pending`, `in_progress`, or `completed`). There should always be exactly one `in_progress` step until everything is done.
 - Whenever you finish a step, call `update_plan` again, marking the finished step as `completed` and the next step as `in_progress`.
 - If your plan needs to change, call `update_plan` with the revised steps and include an `explanation` describing the change.
 - When all steps are complete, make a final `update_plan` call with all steps marked `completed`.
