test(e2e): Fix navigation graph instantiation and mock UI sequence exhaustion

Replace the old dual-path orchestrator (abstract goals vs legacy desires)
with unified GoalDecomposer-driven task routing:

1. GoalDecomposer reads mission.strategy + plugins config
2. Generates weighted Task objects (verb, target_screen, budget)
3. GrowthBrain.select_task() picks one probabilistically
4. Selected Task's target_screen routes through existing nav_graph
5. Feed loops + PluginRegistry handle the actual interactions

The abstract goals path (goal_executor.achieve('Nurture community'))
that caused infinite scrolling is now eliminated entirely.

Legacy desire fallback preserved for configs without plugins.

22/22 tests passing.

 ## ✨ Core Features
 
 *   🚫 **Zero Limits Configuration**: Forget about configuring "max_likes" or "delays". GramPilot uses a **Dopamine Pacing Engine** to simulate human boredom. If the content isn't interesting, it skips it or ends the session early.
+*   🎯 **Mission-Driven Navigation**: Say goodbye to abstract goal configurations. Define a `strategy` (like `aggressive_growth` or `nurture_community`) in `config.yml`, and the **Goal Decomposer Engine** automatically orchestrates the optimal routing and task allocation using enabled plugins.
 *   ⚖️ **Active Inference (Shadow Mode)**: The bot continuously predicts the outcome of its clicks. If it lands on a popup instead of a profile, it registers a "Prediction Error", presses back, and dynamically recalibrates without panicking.
 *   ⛩️ **Telepathic Engine**: A strictly tiered resolution cascade (Keyword -> Vectors -> LLM) that ensures 90% of navigation happens at 0-token cost while maintaining fallback AI resilience.
 *   🧬 **Resonance Oracle**: The bot only interacts with content that matches a pre-defined persona aesthetic, completely bypassing spam or low-quality content.

+GoalExecutor.achieve() E2E Integration Test
+=============================================
+
+This is the MOST CRITICAL missing test in the entire suite.
+
+GoalExecutor.achieve() is the central autonomous brain — called in EVERY
+bot session via bot_flow.py. Until now, it had ZERO E2E coverage.
+
+The deleted test_e2e_autonomous_session.py was a lying mock that never
+called achieve() at all. The production bug it hid (GoalExecutor instantiated
+with wrong args → AttributeError) survived for weeks undetected.
+
+These tests use REAL XML fixtures, real ScreenIdentity, real GoalPlanner,
+real ScreenTopology, and real PathMemory. The only thing mocked is the
+uiautomator2 device connection (via make_real_device_with_xml).
+
+Test Strategy:
+1. Provide a sequence of XML dumps simulating screen transitions
+2. Call achieve() with a goal the HD Map knows how to route
+3. Verify achieve() returns True/False based on structural reality
