What probably matters to you Section of the release
What
A new modelProposedGoals setting controls whether Claude may propose session goals, with values auto , alwaysAsk and disabled . auto (the default when unset) lets the model decide per proposal whether to ask you; alwaysAsk routes every proposed goal through the approval dialog; disabled turns the feature off. Because it affects consent, it is read only from user, policy and command-line settings, and project or local settings are ignored.
Evidence
'alwaysAsk' routes every model-proposed goal through the approval dialog
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

slash /config Open the Settings interface to adjust theme, model, output style , and other preferences. Pass one or more key=value pairs to set a setting directly without opening the interface, for example /config thinking=false, /config theme=dark, or /config model=sonnet. The key=value form also works in non-interactive mode (-p) and from the Claude mobile app via Remote Control . The key=value form can't turn on a setting that needs your confirmation in the panel, such as autoContinueAtUsageLimit , though it can turn one off. Run /config --help to list the keys it accepts. Alias: /settings
flag tengu_model_proposed_goals_changed A "Claude-proposed goals" setting in the config panel controls whether Claude suggests session goals.
