-`/goals` shows actions for the current mode. Drafts offer Edit, Discuss and Approve. Discuss returns to chat and waits for your input. Menu New asks for optional instructions before creating a plan; submit blank to use the conversation, or cancel to leave things unchanged. Typed `/goals new <instructions>` still starts directly. Quit (`exit` or `clear`) leaves the original plan unchanged, removes this session's goal check-in, and clears goal state without a model call. Matching check-in names with missing or different session bindings are left unchanged with a warning. Worker processes are unchanged; inspect their native panes and use their exact Intercom identities for steering. New creates a separate draft without overwriting earlier plans, named `.pi/plan/<last-six-session-characters>-vN.md` using the next version after existing files. The title stays inside the plan; old files are not renamed. The widget shows a plain `✓` and the relative plan path (the fallback for unverified terminal links).

External plans use the filename with an `(external)` marker; `/goals status` keeps the full location. These are plain labels, not terminal links.
