The ACP protocol was missing several capabilities needed by external clients that talk to goosed over the network. Adds: - `_goose/health` — startup health check for clients that poll before accepting traffic - `_goose/session/set_instructions` — injects a system prompt into an active session under the "recipe" key, replacing the two-call HTTP pattern of start_agent + update_from_session - `session/set_model` now accepts an optional `provider` field for full provider+model switching; empty string is filtered out to avoid opaque registry lookup errors - `_goose/session/get` verified to already return token metrics (input_tokens, output_tokens, accumulated_*, model_config) via the Session struct serialization — confirmed with a new test
goose is your on-machine AI agent, capable of automating complex development tasks from start to finish. More than just code suggestions, goose can build entire projects from scratch, write and execute code, debug failures, orchestrate workflows, and interact with external APIs - autonomously.
Whether you're prototyping an idea, refining existing code, or managing intricate engineering pipelines, goose adapts to your workflow and executes tasks with precision.
Designed for maximum flexibility, goose works with any LLM and supports multi-model configuration to optimize performance and cost, seamlessly integrates with MCP servers, and is available as both a desktop app as well as CLI - making it the ultimate AI assistant for developers who want to move faster and focus on innovation.

Why did the developer choose goose as their AI agent?
Because it always helps them "migrate" their code to production! 🚀
