Pull request overview
This PR adds a status hook feature that allows users to run shell commands when goose's status changes between "waiting" (ready for input) and "thinking" (processing). This is particularly useful for users running multiple goose sessions in tmux tabs who want visual indicators of which sessions are ready for input.
Changes:
- Added
GOOSE_STATUS_HOOKenvironment variable for configuring status change hooks - Implemented
run_status_hook()function to execute hook commands asynchronously - Added status hook calls at key points in the interactive session loop

Adds a hook that runs when goose's status changes between 'waiting' (ready for input) and 'thinking' (processing). This is useful for users running multiple goose sessions who want visual indicators of which sessions are ready for input. Example usage for tmux title: export GOOSE_STATUS_HOOK='printf "\033]2;goose: $1\033\\"' Features: - Cross-platform support (sh -c on Unix, cmd /C on Windows) - Runs asynchronously to not block the main thread - Errors are silently ignored Signed-off-by: Trae Robrock <[email protected]>

Summary
This adds a hook for when goose is waiting for input vs working. I'm often running multiple goose sessions in tmux tabs and having a wait to identify the tabs that are ready for my input is super useful.
