Autoresearch Goal

Use this workflow when a research mission should be bound to Codex goal-mode focus while OMX remains the durable state owner.

Boundary

• Do not use or revive the deprecated omx autoresearch direct launch surface.
• Do not claim shell commands mutate hidden Codex /goal state.
• Do not edit upstream ../../codex or add dependencies.
• Use get_goal, create_goal, and update_goal({status: "complete"}) only through the active Codex thread when those tools are available.
