The goal implementation is being kept in the tree for later redesign, but the CLI and desktop slash-command surfaces should not advertise or route new users into it while the long-running goal experience is incomplete. Existing transcript parsing and goal event rendering remain intact so historical sessions still load.
Constraint: Keep the implementation code available for future iteration while removing discoverable entrypoints.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Do not re-expose /goal until the persistent goal/runtime design is revisited.
Tested: bun test src/commands/headless.test.ts
Tested: cd desktop && bun run test -- composerUtils.test.ts pages.test.tsx
Tested: NODE_ENV=test ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=dummy bun -e getCommands assertion for hidden goal command
Coding sessions need a native way to keep working until a stated completion condition is actually met. This adds a CLI /goal command, goal state and evaluator logic, and a headless-safe command filter so interactive and print-mode runs can both start a goal and continue when the evaluator says more work remains.
Constraint: The evaluator must work with saved third-party provider runtimes that may reject structured output schemas.
Constraint: Completion evidence must come from visible transcript text, not hidden goal prompts or assistant thinking blocks.
Rejected: Implement /goal as a bundled skill only | it would not own the query loop or support native continuation semantics.
Rejected: Expose all local-jsx commands to headless mode | interactive UI commands would become available in print mode.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep /goal evaluator evidence scoped to visible transcript text before adding richer completion signals.
Tested: bun test src/commands/headless.test.ts src/goals/goalState.test.ts src/goals/goalEvaluator.test.ts
Tested: bun run check:server
Tested: bun run verify
Tested: Real provider /goal smoke with MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed, including a two-turn continuation that logged Goal continuation #1 and completed with GOAL_SMOKE_LOOP_DONE.
Not-tested: Durable cross-process goal persistence for resumed sessions.
