Per Magnus: /goal shouldn't spawn topics, shouldn't have a custom prompt, shouldn't track modes, shouldn't append to goals.md. The bot is a dumb pipe. The agent does everything. Removed from telegram_bot.py: - /goal handler (it's no longer a special command — falls through as a normal turn input, codex/claude handles it) - /autopilot and /copilot commands (no per-topic mode toggling — the box is copilot by default, /goal triggers autopilot via the CLI) - _start_agency_goal_from_command (~100 LOC) — was spawning topics, building custom prompts, queueing heartbeats - _agency_goal_prompt (~60 LOC) — custom mode-aware goal prompt; replaced by the system prompt's "/goal autopilot" doctrine - _record_miniapp_goal (~50 LOC) — mode column writes - _get_goal_mode / _set_goal_mode (~50 LOC) — per-topic mode persistence - GOAL_MODES / DEFAULT_GOAL_MODE constants - _append_private_goal (~30 LOC) — the AGENT writes to goals.md when it notices new goals; bot doesn't Total deletion: -397 LOC from telegram_bot.py (7789 → 7392). System prompt rewritten to ~80 lines (was 128). Tightened around "agent does everything, bot is a dumb pipe": - /goal section: codex's native /goal runs the plan→act→test loop (gated by [features] goals=true which install.sh writes); claude treats /goal as a goal-shaped prompt with the in-prompt autopilot doctrine. - "You manage goals and memory yourself" — write to private/goals.md when you notice user goals. - Tighter helper-script inventory (tg-send, tg-buttons, tg-schedule, new-topic, agency-report, atq/atrm). - Card composition reduced to the 2-option pattern + a pointer to agency-report --help. Tests: 21 pass (was 33; deleted the 12 tests for the now-removed mode/prompt/decoration functions). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…omposio for codex Lands 16 stacked PRs reviewed by multiple sub-agents: - v1 (#209) /goal as primitive, per-topic autopilot vs copilot - v2 (#210) drop agency-mode gate, fold doctrine into CLAUDE.md, delete old Mini App UI - v3 (#211) CLAUDE.md → system-prompt.md (source of truth), agent identity = "agency" - v4 (#212) trim system prompt to 87 lines, mode emoji in topic title, extract bot/markdown.py - v5 (#213) heartbeat-by-default plumbing (later removed), copilot voice fix, autopilot security note - v6 (#214) steering semantics, new-topic spawning, 2-option cards, source-aware images - v7 (#215) /goal IS autopilot framing, drop topic emoji prefix, silence allowed, codex goals=true, `schedule` alias - v8 (#216) drop --spawn-topic, --importance, trim agency-report docstring - v9 (#217) new-topic helper — spawn fresh lane synchronously, queue heartbeat - v10 (#218) self-schedule only when waiting on something concrete; drop auto-heartbeats - v11 (#219) /goal is a verbatim CLI passthrough; bot is a dumb pipe - v12 (#220) drop 30-min timeout, kill lingering heartbeat, prompt-injection defenses, seed goals.md - v13 (#221) /goal stays copilot by default; autopilot only on explicit user opt-in - v14 (#222) doctrine fixes from final multi-agent review - v15 (#223) tighten autopilot triggers — drop the loose phrases - v16 (#224) register composio MCP for codex too; simplify autopilot trigger paragraph Tests: 22 pass.

Stacked on #218 (v10). Final simplification per Magnus's 'the bot is a dumb pipe, the agent does everything' framing.
