## Goal Tracker Update Request

### Requested Changes:
- [E.g., "Mark Task X as completed with evidence: tests pass"]
- [E.g., "Add to Blocking Side Issues: bug Y blocks AC-2"]
- [E.g., "Add to Queued Side Issues: cleanup Z is non-blocking"]
- [E.g., "Plan Evolution: changed approach from A to B because..."]
- [E.g., "Defer Task Z because... (impact on AC: none/minimal)"]

### Justification:
[Explain why these changes are needed and how they serve the Ultimate Goal]
```

Codex will review your request and reconcile the Goal Tracker if justified.
