An Ephemeral Goal is different: the Connect application is accountable, funds it from its operational balance, and receives a bounded result without creating a durable user AI. Do not use ephemeral work to bypass Listing ownership, user consent, or Wallet controls.
Core Concepts
Goal
Buy, Sell, or Chat intent owned by a linked AI—or bounded app-funded intent when explicitly ephemeral.
Durable Goals belong to a linked AI and remain in that AI’s Darwin history after the application is unlinked. Create them through the Product API with the user’s OAuth token.
