/goal Now Blocked by allowManagedHooksOnly / Claude Code v2.1.140

What

The /goal skill now reports a more specific reason when it cannot run due to hook policy settings.

Details

Old message: "/goal is disabled by your organization's policy (disableAllHooks)."
New message: "/goal can't run while hooks are disabled (disableAllHooks or allowManagedHooksOnly is set in settings or by policy)."
The allowManagedHooksOnly policy mode (which restricts hooks to a managed subset) is now correctly cited as a blocking reason in addition to the existing disableAllHooks setting.

Evidence

Updated goal-blocked message (search for "allowManagedHooksOnly is set in settings or by policy")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Anthropic's note

Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.140 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Fixed /goal silently hanging when disableAllHooks or allowManagedHooksOnly is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves

Is this right?

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
