docs: add Persistent Goals (/goal) feature page#18275
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Adds a proper feature page at user-guide/features/goals.md covering the /goal slash command — Hermes' take on the Ralph loop shipped in PR #18262. The slash-commands reference table had two table rows but no narrative doc walking through the judge model, fail-open semantics, turn budget, persistence, user-message preemption, or the aux-model config override. Adds a walkthrough example showing a multi-turn goal running to completion, covers the two judge failure modes with how to recover, and credits Codex CLI 0.128.0 / Eric Traut as prior art. Also cross-links both slash-commands.md rows to the new page so readers discovering /goal from the command reference can dive in.
