Treat goal objectives as untrusted context (#60342)

## What changed

- Pass goal objectives as untrusted `goal_objective` context instead of embedding them in continuation instructions. Direct the model to use `get_goal` if the objective is missing or truncated.
- Inject newly created objectives into their originating active turn without dropping unrelated client context. Render them as tool outputs when `UntrustedAsToolOutput` is enabled.
- Queue additional context together with automatic turn input so both reach the first model request.

## Testing

Extend app-server coverage to verify that model-written objectives appear as tool outputs at creation and continuation, without duplicating them in user messages. Update steering and Python SDK tests to check objective preservation and delivery alongside continuation instructions.
