Refine goal UI around memory theme tokens

Goal status needed to read like persistent agent state, not a success alert. Reuse the Memory surface language and expose goal-specific aliases so the visual treatment follows each supported desktop theme.\n\nConstraint: Must keep /goal visible in both active-session chrome and transcript events.\nRejected: Continue using success tokens | they made the UI look like a warning/success card and clashed with white/dark themes.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nTested: cd desktop && bun run test -- --run src/pages/ActiveSession.test.tsx src/components/chat/MessageList.test.tsx src/theme/globals.test.ts\nTested: cd desktop && bun run lint\nTested: cd desktop && bun run build\nTested: Chrome screenshot fixture for light, white, and dark goal UI tokens.
