Claude could propose a session goal you approve with one keypress, but it is switched off.
A ProposeGoal tool and a modelProposedGoals setting are built and hidden behind a gate that is off.

What's wrong with this entry?
A new tool lets Claude propose a completion condition for the session. Approving it sets a session goal, the same as running /goal, after which a separate check runs each turn and Claude keeps working until the condition is met. A new setting modelProposedGoals takes auto, alwaysAsk or disabled, shown as "Claude-proposed goals" in the config panel. Both the setting row and the tool are hidden unless the flag tengu_propose_goal is on, and it is off in this build.
- the approval dialog reads "Claude proposes a goal" with buttons "Set this goal" and "Not now", and explains that approving is like running
/goal - inputs are
conditionandask_user, which defaults to true; withask_user: false, intended only when the user's own words stated the outcome, the goal is set directly by running/goal <condition> - it cannot clear a goal: "ProposeGoal only proposes a new goal; it cannot clear one. The user can clear an active goal with /goal clear."
- refused in non-interactive sessions, in plan mode, in sub-agent contexts ("ProposeGoal cannot be used in agent contexts") and when the evaluator is blocked; the condition text is length-capped
- only one proposal can be outstanding at a time; events are
tengu_goal_proposedandtengu_goal_proposal_decided - the typed
/goalcommand already worked in the previous release; the tool and the setting are new here
tengu_goal_proposed, tengu_propose_goal, Claude proposes a goal
