+Auto-answer has a clarity cap: unless the architect confidence is `high` and uncertainty is negligible, no dimension score improved solely by the auto-answer may exceed `0.85`.

+- Use only the unified goal-tool surface from the agent loop: `goal({"op":"get"})`, `goal({"op":"create"})`, `goal({"op":"complete"})`, `goal({"op":"drop"})`, `goal({"op":"resume"})`. `drop` clears the active goal without exiting goal mode so the next `goal({"op":"create"})` works in-session. No slash-command cleanup exists or is required; Ultragoal never calls any `/goal` subcommand.
+- For back-to-back ultragoal runs in the same session/thread, when `goal({"op":"get"})` still reports an active aggregate, call `goal({"op":"drop"})` before `goal({"op":"create"})`; when no active goal exists or the prior aggregate is already complete or dropped, call `goal({"op":"create"})` directly. The goal tool remains callable across drop; no slash-command cleanup exists or is required.
 - Never call `goal({"op":"create"})` when `goal({"op":"get"})` reports a different active goal.
 - Never call `goal({"op":"complete"})` unless the aggregate run or legacy per-story goal is actually complete.
 - In aggregate mode, intermediate and final story checkpoints require a matching `active` GJC goal snapshot; the final story checkpoint creates the final aggregate receipt before `goal({"op":"complete"})` may reconcile the inline goal state.
