-Creating a goal with `/goals`, `/sisyphus`, `/goals-set`, or `/sisyphus-set` no longer clears other open goals. It creates a new active goal file and focuses it. Use `/goal-list` to inspect open goals and `/goal-focus` to switch the session focus.

+Creating a goal with `/goals`, `/sisyphus`, `/goals-set`, or `/sisyphus-set` no longer clears other open goals. It creates a new active goal file and focuses it. Use `/goal-list` to inspect open goals and `/goal-focus` to switch the session focus. If the latest focus entry explicitly clears focus, or points at a missing/stale goal, a remaining single open goal is not auto-focused. By default (`autoSelectSingleGoal: false`) sessions start unfocused so goals stay session-scoped — useful when multiple sessions share the same `.pi/goals/` directory. Set `autoSelectSingleGoal: true` to restore the old behavior where a single open goal is auto-focused when no focus entry exists at all. If multiple open goals exist and the session has no valid focus, `/goal-resume`, `/goal-clear`, `/goal-abort`, `/goal-pause`, and `/goal-tweak` ask the user to choose a goal instead of acting on all of them.
