goal snapshot has unsupported status '{other}'

Error message

goal snapshot has unsupported status '{other}'

What it means

Status enum guard in SessionGoalState::from_runtime: the snapshot's status string, after trimming, does not match any supported SessionGoalStatus value (e.g. not "active", "paused", "none"), so the durable state cannot represent it.

Solutions

1. Use one of the supported status strings understood by SessionGoalStatus.
2. Add a mapping arm in from_runtime if a new status is intentionally introduced.
3. Check the producer of GoalSnapshot for casing or spelling errors in the status.
