There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was able to confirm that pausing a goal, then later resuming that session prompts the user as intended:
Code looks good as does the UI.

Summary
Early adopters of the
/goalfeature have provided feedback that they expect a goal they explicitly paused to remain paused when they resume a thread. Previously, resuming a thread would reactivate a paused goal.This PR keeps persisted goal status unchanged during thread resume. This honors the user feedback while also simplifying the core goal logic.
Rather than have the core logic automatically resume a paused goal, that responsibility is transferred to the client. The TUI now detects a resumed thread with a paused goal and asks the user whether to
Resume goalorLeave paused. The prompt appears only for quiet resume flows, so users who resume with an immediate prompt are not interrupted.
