TUI: skip goal replace prompt for completed goals (#23792)

## Why
Users reported that the replacement confirmation feels unnecessary when
the current thread goal is already complete. In that state, `/goal
<objective>` is starting fresh rather than interrupting active work.

## What changed
`/goal <objective>` now skips the replace confirmation when the existing
goal has `complete` status and uses the existing fresh replacement path.
Goals that are active, paused, blocked, usage-limited, or budget-limited
still require confirmation before being replaced.
