+"""#75362 — /goal resume must restart work, not just flip persisted state.
+
+After a goal auto-pauses on turn-budget exhaustion, each surface's
+``resume`` handler must schedule exactly one canonical
+``GoalManager.next_continuation_prompt()`` turn through that surface's
+existing input path:
+
+- classic CLI  → ``self._pending_input``
+- messaging gateway → the adapter FIFO (``_enqueue_fifo``)
+
+The TUI/Desktop ``command.dispatch`` boundary is covered in
+``tests/tui_gateway/test_goal_command.py``.
