  • makes /supervise status open settings when active
  • resolves model/sensitivity defaults more consistently for future runs
  • updates notifications and tool responses to match goal-focused wording
• src/state.ts and src/types.ts
  • add persisted supervisor preferences so inactive model/sensitivity changes can be reused on the next run
• src/engine.ts

Pull request overview

This PR aligns pi-supervisor terminology and UI/docs around a goal-focused supervision concept, while improving runtime defaults persistence and preventing idle supervisor decisions from stalling the run.

• Updates user-facing wording from “outcome” to “goal” across UI text, notifications, and documentation.
• Persists model/provider and sensitivity selections as session-scoped defaults for the next /supervise, even when supervision is inactive.
• Converts idle continue supervisor decisions into a steer so agent_end runs don’t stall.
