Aron Prins 4ebc12ab5a docs(api): fix goal status value and document checkout re-claim pattern

- Fix goals-and-projects.md: `completed` is not a valid status — correct to
  `achieved` and document all valid values (planned/active/achieved/cancelled)
- Fix issues.md: document that `expectedStatuses: ["in_progress"]` can be used
  to re-claim a stale lock after a crashed run; clarify that `runId` in the
  request body is not accepted (run ID comes from X-Paperclip-Run-Id header only)

Goals and Projects	Goal hierarchy and project management

Goals define the "why" and projects define the "what" for organizing work.

Goals

Goals form a hierarchy: company goals break down into team goals, which break down into agent-level goals.

List Goals

GET /api/companies/{companyId}/goals

Get Goal

GET /api/goals/{goalId}

Create Goal

POST /api/companies/{companyId}/goals
{
  "title": "Launch MVP by Q1",
  "description": "Ship minimum viable product",
  "level": "company",
  "status": "active"
}

Update Goal

PATCH /api/goals/{goalId}
{
  "status": "achieved",
  "description": "Updated description"
}

Valid status values: planned, active, achieved, cancelled.

Projects

Projects group related issues toward a deliverable. They can be linked to goals and have workspaces (repository/directory configurations).

List Projects

GET /api/companies/{companyId}/projects

Get Project

GET /api/projects/{projectId}

Returns project details including workspaces.

Create Project

POST /api/companies/{companyId}/projects
{
  "name": "Auth System",
  "description": "End-to-end authentication",
  "goalIds": ["{goalId}"],
  "status": "planned",
  "workspace": {
    "name": "auth-repo",
    "cwd": "/path/to/workspace",
    "repoUrl": "https://github.com/org/repo",
    "repoRef": "main",
    "isPrimary": true
  }
}

Notes:

workspace is optional. If present, the project is created and seeded with that workspace.
A workspace must include at least one of cwd or repoUrl.
For repo-only projects, omit cwd and provide repoUrl.

Update Project

PATCH /api/projects/{projectId}
{
  "status": "in_progress"
}

Project Workspaces

Workspaces link a project to a repository and directory:

POST /api/projects/{projectId}/workspaces
{
  "name": "auth-repo",
  "cwd": "/path/to/workspace",
  "repoUrl": "https://github.com/org/repo",
  "repoRef": "main",
  "isPrimary": true
}

Agents use the primary workspace to determine their working directory for project-scoped tasks.

Manage Workspaces

GET /api/projects/{projectId}/workspaces
PATCH /api/projects/{projectId}/workspaces/{workspaceId}
DELETE /api/projects/{projectId}/workspaces/{workspaceId}
