The goal group map: one durable completion objective per session, with model tools, a human command, and automatic continuation, for users and maintainers navigating the group.	package-group

Summary

The goal group gives an agent session one durable completion objective that survives restarts, resume, and fork: the goal service keeps the goal state and lifecycle durable, the model tools let the agent create and update goals, the /goal command gives the human direct goal control without a model turn, and the continuation driver turns an active goal into sequential rounds of automatic work. Goal state lives in the session log, so nothing in the group keeps a separate store. Only one goal is current at a time, and a goal is state, not a scheduler — automatic continuation is an opt-in consumer you mount deliberately.
