 - `POST /wait` (both thread-scoped and `/api/runs/wait`) drains the stream bridge via `wait_for_run_completion()` instead of bare `await record.task`, so it honours the run's `on_disconnect` setting and cancels the background run on real client disconnect rather than returning a stale checkpoint (issue #3265).
 - Redis `StreamBridge` keys use a rolling retained-buffer TTL (`stream_bridge.stream_ttl_seconds`, refreshed on `publish()` / `publish_end()`) as a leak safety net, not as a run timeout. Startup orphan recovery publishes `END_SENTINEL` and schedules stream cleanup for recovered runs; malformed `Last-Event-ID` reconnect values live-tail new Redis events rather than replaying the retained buffer. Do not broaden this into a shared-database multi-pod reaper without adding worker ownership/liveness first.
 - Thread-scoped run creation accepts `checkpoint` / `checkpoint_id`; Gateway validates the checkpoint belongs to the request thread before writing `checkpoint_id` / `checkpoint_ns` into `config.configurable` for LangGraph branching.
-- Thread-scoped Gateway runs evaluate an active `ThreadState.goal` after the visible turn completes. `runtime/goal.py` asks a non-thinking evaluator model to judge only visible conversation evidence and return a typed blocker; the evaluator model is created once per run and reused across hidden continuation checks. Satisfied goals are cleared; every non-satisfied evaluation — continuable or stand-down — is persisted with `last_evaluation` (the blocker, reason, and evidence summary; outcomes that stop the loop additionally record a `stand_down_reason` for observability), but only `goal_not_met_yet` evaluations are streamed as hidden `HumanMessage` continuations, and only when a durable assistant end-of-turn checkpoint exists, the run has not been aborted, the thread did not change during evaluation, and the no-progress breaker has not fired. The continuation cap is 8 — a hard maximum in the `0`–`8` range; callers requesting more are clamped (`set_goal`/TUI) or rejected with 422 (`PUT /goal`). The no-progress breaker keys on the latest visible assistant evidence (not the evaluator's free-text reason, which an LLM rewords every turn), so two consecutive continuations that add no new visible assistant output stop the loop after 2 attempts. Model-response cleanup helpers such as think-block stripping and code-fence stripping live in `deerflow.utils.llm_text` so `runtime/goal.py` and Gateway suggestion parsing share the same JSON-prep behavior.
+- Thread-scoped Gateway runs evaluate an active `ThreadState.goal` after the visible turn completes. `runtime/goal.py` asks a non-thinking evaluator model to judge only visible conversation evidence and return a typed blocker; the evaluator model is created once per run and reused across hidden continuation checks. The evaluator runs after the graph root's tracing scope has already closed, so `create_goal_evaluator_model`/`evaluate_goal_completion` attach their own model-level tracing callbacks (`attach_tracing=True`) and inject Langfuse trace metadata (`thread_id`/`user_id`/`deerflow_trace_id`) directly onto the `ainvoke` call — the same standalone-caller pattern as `oneshot_llm.run_oneshot_llm` and `MemoryUpdater` (see Tracing System below). Satisfied goals are cleared; every non-satisfied evaluation — continuable or stand-down — is persisted with `last_evaluation` (the blocker, reason, and evidence summary; outcomes that stop the loop additionally record a `stand_down_reason` for observability), but only `goal_not_met_yet` evaluations are streamed as hidden `HumanMessage` continuations, and only when a durable assistant end-of-turn checkpoint exists, the run has not been aborted, the thread did not change during evaluation, and the no-progress breaker has not fired.
