feat: /goal

新增文件 (12个)

- src/commands/goal/index.ts — 命令入口
- src/commands/goal/goal.tsx — 命令核心逻辑
- src/utils/goal.ts — prompt 构建和工具函数
- src/tools/GoalUpdateTool/ — update_goal 工具 (3个文件)
- src/tools/GoalCreateTool/ — create_goal 工具 (3个文件)
- src/tools/GoalGetTool/ — get_goal 工具 (3个文件)
- src/hooks/useGoalAutoContinue.ts — 自动继续 hook
- src/components/PromptInput/GoalIndicator.tsx — Footer 状态显示

修改文件 (6个)

- src/state/AppStateStore.ts — 添加 GoalStatus / Goal 类型和 goal 字段
- src/commands.ts — 注册 goal 命令
- src/tools.ts — 注册三个 goal 工具
- src/screens/REPL.tsx — 调用 useGoalAutoContinue(queryGuard)
- src/components/PromptInput/PromptInputFooterLeftSide.tsx — 引入并显示 GoalIndicator
- src/bootstrap/state.ts — 添加 getTotalTokensUsed() 函数

功能

- /goal <objective> — 设置长期自治目标
- /goal pause|resume|clear|edit — 管理目标
- agent 在每个 turn 结束后自动 enqueue 继续 prompt（直到目标完成或被阻塞）
- update_goal 工具供 agent 标记目标完成或 3+ 轮阻塞后标记 blocked
- Footer 显示 goal 状态指示器
