Run long tasks in Codex using goals
Presenter segments alternate with goal entry, visible work, pause controls, and an editable goal dialog.
Useful to borrow
Explain task control through real state changes rather than only showing a prompt.
Do not infer
Compressed progress and code changes do not independently establish correctness.
