  • Fix goal update and add /goal edit command in TUI (#21954)
    ## Why
    
    Users have requested the ability to edit a goal's objective after a goal
    has been created. This PR exposes a new `/goal edit` command in the TUI
    to address this request.
    
    In the process of implementing this, I also noticed an existing bug in
    the goal runtime. When a goal's objective is updated through the
    `thread/goal/set` app server API, the goal runtime didn't emit a new
    steering prompt to tell the agent about the new objective. This PR also
    fixes this hole.
    
    ## What Changed
    
    - Adds `/goal edit` in the TUI, opening an edit box prefilled with the
    current goal objective.
    - Keeps active and paused goals in their current state, resets completed
    goals to active, keeps budget-limited goals budget-limited, and
    preserves the existing token budget.
    - Changes the existing `thread/goal/set` behavior so editing an
    objective preserves goal accounting instead of resetting it. The older
    reset-on-new-objective behavior was left over from before
    `thread/goal/clear`; clients that need to reset accounting can now clear
    the existing goal and create a new one.
    - Reuses the existing goal set API path; this does not add or change
    app-server protocol surface area.
    - Adds a dedicated goal runtime steering prompt when an externally
    persisted goal mutation changes the objective, so active turns receive
    the updated objective.
    
    ## Validation
    
    - Make sure `/goal edit` returns an error if no goal currently exists
    - Make sure `/goal edit` displays an edit box that can be optionally
    canceled with no side effects
    - Make sure that an edited goal results in a steer so the agent starts
    pursuing the new objective
    - Make sure the new objective is reflected in the goal if you use
    `/goal` to display the goal summary
    - Make sure that `/goal edit` doesn't reset the token budget, time/token
    accounting on the updated goal
