CODEX TIGHTENS GOAL STATE CONTROL ACROSS FIVE CORE CHANGES

Codex shipped explicit pause semantics and plugin architecture refactors that stop goals from silently pausing when users didn't ask for it.

The biggest fix kills the implicit pause problem [1], where guardian approvals, server shutdowns, and steering interrupts could pause active goals without explicit user action. That's now locked down: pause transitions require deliberate intent. Running parallel with that, goals now respect usage limits and blockers [2] instead of burning tokens on turns that can't progress, moving into resumable `blocked` and `usageLimited` states that halt continuation loops. On the orchestration side [3], turn skill and plugin injection got extracted from the bloated `run_turn` method into a cleaner `build_skills_and_plugins` handler, making the control flow readable without losing the ordering guarantees that matter. The session picker now actually accepts paste events [4], collapsing whitespace and routing bracketed pastes into search the way users expect, fixing the macOS terminal experience where pasting looked like a no-op. Finally, renamed thread hints got clarified [5] to include thread IDs in parentheses, killing the ambiguity when multiple threads share a name and users try to resume by the picker.
