📄 Description

Fixes #949.

What

The research_agent's instructions in starter_ai_agents/openai_research_agent/research_agent.py (lines 82–87) used multi-line Python implicit string concatenation but each line was missing its trailing space. The prompt actually shipped to the model contained fused words: term andproduce, less than 300words, or goodgrammar, capture theessence, the summaryitself.

     "itself.",

While touching those lines, I also fixed three small English typos in the same block: succintly → succinctly, must 2-3 paragraphs → must be 2-3 paragraphs, its vital → it's vital. Happy to split those out if you'd prefer only the mechanical space fix.

Not touched

Other files in the repo have the same "implicit-concat with missing spaces" pattern too — not fixing those here to keep this PR scoped to a single template.
