Worker-native goals unlock longer horizons.
Codex /goal is a worker-native objective register, not merely a memory feature. It lets a coding worker carry a persistent direction of travel across longer arcs of work.
What this changes for operators
- Operators now need to ask which durable objective the worker is pursuing, whether it is still aligned with the operator's charter, and how it maps to the current run mandate.
- Treat worker goals as first-class receipt fields: goal id, goal text, creation source, last update, status, scope, originating run, mapped charter, mapped mandate, and settlement status.
