Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
- open a new topic in a selected project
- define an Anthropic model.
- write a prompt that will enter the plan mode and after the assembled plan accept the implementation.
- type /goal command to set a goal for Claude. For example: "/goal all items implemented and with tests passing".
- Claude does not respect and for the work in the first round of implementation (objective not yet reached).
Expected behavior
Claude should continue implementing non-stop in any round until it reaches the /goal objectives, as is normally the case in Claude Code.
Actual behavior
After the /goal has been set, Claude stops working on the implementation and waits for user command after the first round.

Research direction
Start in apps/desktop by reproducing the issue with an Anthropic model, plan mode, and the /goal command. Trace how the goal is handled after the first implementation round, then verify that Claude continues until the stated objective is reached, including when tests are part of the goal.
