What issue are you seeing?

in /goal mode, when the goal is blocked requiring "operator" decision/input, it loops repeatedly. If the operator is away or run overnight, this loop continues indefinitely, compacting the context, still continuing, consuming API credits for ever multiple times.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019e3318-2b97-79d3-bc3d-1bca34d7ed3a. Here is the codex log output loop many such lines.
Blocked on A authorization. I need explicit approval to cancel stale production orders 7, 7, and 7 before continuing.
Blocked pending explicit A production mutation approval. Required approval: cancel stale A orders 7, 7, and 7*.
Blocked on A authorization. The next action is cancelling stale production orders 7, 7, and 7; I need explicit approval before running it.
Blocked pending explicit operator approval. Required A mutation: cancel stale production orders 7, 7, and 7.
Blocked on A. I need explicit approval before mutating production state to cancel orders 7, 7, and 7**.

What is the expected behavior?

When blocked, /goal should pause , and wait for user to explicitly /goal resume.
