Dude, this was the last of it! It's over now!
(talking about the bank mission, I'm some ways into Blackmail)
I noticed I could squeeze through a narrow horizontal opening only after drinking a slow-fall potion... I don't know how that works exactly. I can't imagine it changes your hitbox. Also you gotta try the gates around the map, they're actually incredible for lean boosting. That's the official name of the trick by the way: lean boosting. You should hone your technique with them to make sure you've got the hang of it in the rest of the missions. Also I'm not sure if consuming a slow-fall potion might not actually help you get further in the same time simply because you lose less speed to ground friction. Not sure if speed potions will do anything.
I managed to get caught inside a door again, using the old method. A single door this time. And the interesting bit is I couldn't make it through at all until I drank a SLOWFALL POTION! Damn, they're really turning into a versatile tool, that's the third known use so far. Come to think of it, it's probably the same effect I mentioned above (letting me slip through the gap). You do need to crouch and jump in the direction you're going to cause it to push you a little forward so you're partially through (you can try to mantle things to make it easier if there are any things around). TBH I still don't fully get it. A rope is always needed to get yourself initially lodged in. With a rope I think all you need to do is turn around to face the way you came from and if you fired the rope close enough to the door, when you jump off, you'll be inside it. Maybe.
Get Basso to do the job!
Mission 1 hard: you could just send the guy in to save his girlfriend himself while doing what you're good at, stealing the necessary things. Might this speed it up at all?
