Bug Description

Running /compress while a /goal is active silently terminates the goal loop. The judge never fires again, no message is shown, and the goal state is orphaned in SessionDB under the old session id.

Steps to Reproduce

1 Start a CLI session, set a goal: /goal build X and report back.
2 Have a few turns so context grows.
3 Run /compress.
4 Send any follow-up message.

Expected Behavior

Goal loop continues judging after each turn until done / budget exhausted.

Actual Behavior

Goal loop is dead. /goal status shows "No active goal." No warning printed.

Additional Logs / Traceback (optional)

Root Cause Analysis (optional)

Goal state is persisted in SessionDB.state_meta under key goal:<session_id> (hermes_cli/goals.py:127-128).

_compress_context in run_agent.py:9053-9057 ends the current session and mints a new session_id on the agent (child session).

The manual /compress handler in cli.py:7567-7572 correctly syncs self.session_id = self.agent.session_id so /status, /resume, title generation, and end_session() target the live child session — but it does not migrate the goal row:

if (
    getattr(self.agent, "session_id", None)
    and self.agent.session_id != self.session_id
):
    self.session_id = self.agent.session_id
    self._pending_title = None

Proposed Fix (optional)
