-The model calls `update_goal` after auditing the current goal against the Codex completion audit carried in every continuation prompt. The host accepts `complete` and `blocked` at face value and performs no independent verification; the prompt is the only guard. `complete` may transition an `active` or `budget_limited` goal and reports final token usage; it is prohibited from `paused` and `blocked`. `blocked` is meant to follow three consecutive turns with the same blocker. `paused` is user-only (`/goal pause`). Runtime accounting may instead move an active goal to `budget_limited`; the model cannot declare that state, and the transition triggers one `budget_limit.md` steering message.
+The model calls `update_goal` after auditing the current goal against the Codex completion audit carried in every continuation prompt. The host accepts `complete` and `blocked` at face value and performs no independent verification; the prompt is the only guard. `paused` via the tool requires the user's explicit request and is otherwise indistinguishable from a user `/goal pause`. `complete` may transition an `active` or `budget_limited` goal and reports final token usage; it is prohibited from `paused` and `blocked`. `blocked` is meant to follow three consecutive turns with the same blocker. Runtime accounting may instead move an active goal to `budget_limited`; the model cannot declare that state, and the transition triggers one `budget_limit.md` steering message.
 
 Automatic continuation waits for a fresh normal assistant completion and for the entire Pi run to settle, including tools, retries, compaction, and queued input. Errors, cancellation (including cancellation after text finishes), and runs ending at a tool boundary do not trigger continuation or budget steering. Ordinary user input has no continuation attached; once the response to that input finishes normally, an active goal may continue.
