When /goal (and other _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS: retry, queue, q, steer,
plan, undo) were typed in the TUI desktop app, slash.exec returned error
4018 instructing the frontend to fall back to command.dispatch. Some
clients failed that client-side fallback, leaving the command empty and
surfacing "empty command" — the user's typed text was silently dropped.
slash.exec now routes pending-input commands to command.dispatch
internally, eliminating the fragile client-side fallback hop. The
response is exactly what command.dispatch would have produced, so the
TUI client behaves identically once the round-trip succeeds.
Salvaged from #48944 — rebased onto current main. The original PR's
source change and test_goal_command.py update are correct, but it missed
the second test surface: tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py's
parametrized test_slash_exec_rejects_pending_input_commands still
asserted the old 4018 rejection for retry/queue/q/steer/plan, turning CI
red (5 failures). That test is rewritten here as a behavior contract:
slash.exec for a pending-input command must yield the same payload as a
direct command.dispatch call, and must no longer emit the old
"pending-input command" fallback rejection.
