Onboarding PR 4 of 4: the entry points for people who already use Ovis. For 0.4.21. Stacked on #2332 (PR 3, the first-run guide, branch feat/onboarding-first-run), which carries #2328 and #2326; that branch is merged in (no rebase) and is this PR's base. Needs #2328 and #2332 merged first (#2326 is in main). No new server contract: it reuses GET /api/agent-catalog and POST /api/agent-catalog/install|sign-in and AgentSetupCard from #2326/#2328.

  • Add another agent… New workspace, New tab and New worktree: the agent picker ends with one quiet row (a hairline above it, dim text, a plus). It swaps the dialog's body for the catalog agents the dialog's PC (this PC or the chosen remote PC) does not have and a picker can start, then the chosen one's AgentSetupCard. When the card is ready, the dialog reads the PC's agents again and picks the new one; until then its fields and Start stay disabled. Back keeps what was typed and returns focus to the picker. Like the Codex app's model menu, the way to get more sits at the end of the list it adds to.
  • Settings → Agent integrations starts with the PC's install catalog: Installed (the version the PC answered) and Can be installed (Install opens the same card), with Check again (no kind filter: each agent's one line says what it is). Installed agents that sign in have Sign in, which opens the card at that step, so a sign-in left for its terminal tab can be finished later. A ready agent's Start opens New workspace on that PC with it picked (for that opening only; the remembered default is left alone). A device that only watches gets none of the setup: no Add another agent…, Install or Sign in, since a setup types into a terminal on the PC. herdr's integrations stay below as before.
  • Settings → Setup guide shows where the first-run guide's steps stand (agent, plan usage, phone, alerts), read from what the app already knows, and Open setup guide calls openSetupGuide() from src/lib/setupGuide.ts, which feat(setup): a first-run setup guide on a fresh install #2332's guide listens on: it opens again on its first step. Existing users never see the guide by itself; there is no "show it to new users" switch.
  • The demo's agent labels now match the server's (Grok, Hermes, Antigravity, Devin).
  • ko / ja / zh translations; changelog fragment; DESIGN.md entry.

Screenshots (Codex theme)

1280 and 390, dark and light, fresh browser profile, on the real client over the demo transport: 9 screens, shared with the owner before this PR. They are in the lane report folder.

Validation

  • Tests that fail first: src/components/AgentPicker.test.tsx (the row is last, opens the add flow, picks no agent, reachable with End + Enter) and src/lib/agentList.test.ts (Installed / Can be installed from catalog rows, which agents a picker can add, where the card starts).
  • bun run check fast is green.
  • scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts, new in the browser lane (1280 and 390, dark and light; the watching-device case failed before its fix): picker row → list of missing agents → card → Back with focus on the picker; New worktree's row; Settings sections, versions, Install → card, integrations still below; Sign in on Codex → card at sign-in → Skip → Start opens New workspace with Codex picked and the remembered agent unchanged; Setup guide's four steps, no guide shown by itself, and Open closes Settings and opens feat(setup): a first-run setup guide on a fresh install #2332's guide on a step (on the commit before feat(setup): a first-run setup guide on a fresh install #2332 was merged in, it times out waiting for the guide); a watching device gets no setup.
  • scripts/settings-pages-demo-regression.ts knows the new page, the list's three headings, and skips the agent rows in its integration-row assertion.

Reviews

omo-native-code-reviewer and Codex (gpt-6.1-sol, xhigh), then a re-review of the fixes. Resolved: Start from Settings could switch the default agent to Shell (Command Code); the Setup guide was unstyled; a setup could switch PCs mid-way; creation was enabled before the new agent was picked; a sign-in left for its tab could not be resumed. The merge pass's review then found: Open setup guide had no listener until #2332 (now merged in, with the test above); a watching device could reach Install through Add another agent… (hidden, with a test that failed first); the settings-pages regression missed the three new headings (fixed). The owner asked to drop the All / Coding agents / Assistants filter (dropped).

Left as they are (LOW):

  • In the creation dialogs, Open terminal closes the dialog; the setup can be resumed from Settings → Agent integrations (Sign in), not from the dialog.
  • The card's ready button reads "Start {agent}" inside the creation dialogs, where it picks the agent; the label is feat(agents): install and sign in to an agent in a visible terminal tab #2328's card API.
  • The catalog's names ("Grok Build", "Devin CLI") are longer than the picker's ("Grok", "Devin"), which come from the server's labels.

Every agent Ovis can install, each with the vendor's own install command
per platform (copied from the vendor's current docs, with the page and the
date it was read), what the command needs, how to tell the agent is
installed, how it is signed in to, the oldest version an Ovis feature
needs, and its clean-PC runs.

commandProblems() holds every command to the entry's own HTTPS address
prefixes and packages, with no sudo; the catalog's test fails on any
other host, scheme or package.
…talled

The catalog for this PC's platform, with each agent's installed state and
version. A binary is looked for on the server's PATH, then on the login
shell's (the real entrypoints), then in its installer's own folder, which
a fresh install often adds to PATH only for new terminals; on_path says
which. Its version flag runs with no input and a 5 s limit, and the
version is kept until the executable file changes.

Read only and no-store; a watching device may read it, and the connection
server reaches another PC's through the PC proxy with that PC's bridge
token. The demo answers it from the same catalog.
Claude Code, Codex, Grok and Antigravity install on a clean Windows VM;
pi waits at its Node question without a terminal, Oh My Pi stops on an
older Bun, and OmO refuses an elevated shell. Claude Code's Windows
installer folder is added to its install_dirs.
…group, fixed command forms

From the merge pass's review of #2326:

- A plain GET ran a binary from the server's working folder when PATH
  held ".": detection now looks only in absolute PATH entries, on the
  service PATH and the login shell's alike.
- A --version that started a child holding stdout outlived its timeout
  (100 ms answered after 3 s), and such children could pin every
  detection slot: the flag now runs in a process group of its own, which
  is killed whole at the timeout, and its output is no longer read then.
- commandProblems() relied on reading shell syntax, so an appended
  "&& touch ..." passed: every command must now be exactly one of a few
  fixed forms (curl -fsSL <url> | bash, npm install -g <package>, ...),
  matched against the whole text; only the URL or package varies, and it
  is held to the entry's own addresses and packages as before.
- pi (macOS, Linux) and Hermes (Linux) may ask for sudo while installing
  a missing prerequisite: they are marked admin, and a test keeps every
  command whose notes say so marked.

Each change comes with a test that failed before it.
From the merge pass's re-review of #2326:

- The fixed forms still let a URL or package vary: an approved address
  with text after it, any npm version, or text after OpenCode's command
  passed. APPROVED_COMMANDS now lists every catalog command per platform,
  and commandProblems() accepts a command only when it is in that list
  exactly; the address and package allowlists stay as a consistency
  check. A test changes every catalog command (a suffix, an extra
  argument, leading, trailing or doubled whitespace, an npm version) and
  each change is refused.
- A version flag that answered and exited at once, leaving a child that
  held its output, was read until the timeout: the output is now read for
  200 ms after the process exits, then the child's process group is
  ended. The timeout tests now also prove the child they started is gone,
  for a flag that hangs and for one that exits at once.
…al tab

POST /api/agent-catalog/install opens a tab and types the agent's official
command for this PC's platform, picked by the server from the catalog (the
primary command or one of the platform's alternatives) and checked against
the vendor's own addresses and packages again before it is typed; the
request never carries a command. Every line shows and Ctrl+C stops it.
On Windows a command for another shell than the tab's is refused.

POST /api/agent-catalog/sign-in runs the installed agent's own sign-in
command, or the agent itself where it signs in inside, the same way.

Both are refused to a watching device and reach another PC through the PC
proxy. The demo answers that it installs nothing.
…agent

AgentSetupCard runs one agent's setup as two steps on one card: Install
starts the official command in a terminal tab (POST /api/agent-catalog/install),
then the catalog is read again every 3 s until the agent is there, which
decides installed rather than how the tab ended (Devin's installer exits 1
after installing). Sign in runs the agent's own sign-in in a tab, then
Start hands off. Show details shows the exact command, Open terminal shows
its tab, and Cancel leaves the tab as it is.

The steps are a pure reducer (src/lib/agentSetup.ts). The card has no
entry point yet: onboarding (PR 3) and Settings and the picker (PR 4)
place it. "Install" and "Sign in" move to the base dictionary, now that
two parts use them.
"Installed. New terminal tabs will find it." instead of a note about PATH,
which moves under Show details, and "Uses the official installer, on this
PC." instead of naming a terminal tab before anything runs.
APPROVED_COMMANDS stays hand-written so a catalog edit needs a deliberate
approval; this test fails when the catalog holds a command the list does
not approve, or the list keeps one the catalog no longer holds.
…pen the setup guide

The entry points for people who already use Ovis (onboarding PR 4 of 4):

- New workspace, New tab and New worktree: the agent picker ends with a
  quiet "Add another agent…" row. It lists the agents the PC open in the
  dialog does not have and could start, opens AgentSetupCard for the one
  picked, and picks it once the PC offers it. Back keeps the fields.
- Settings -> Agent integrations: the PC's install catalog first, as
  Installed (with the version it answered) and Can be installed (Install
  opens the same card), filtered by coding agents or assistants; herdr's
  integrations stay below as before. A watching device sees no Install.
- Settings -> Setup guide: where the guide's steps stand (agent, plan
  usage, phone, alerts), read from what the app already knows, and Open
  setup guide through lib/setupGuide.ts, the opener PR 3's guide listens on.

No new server contract: GET/POST /api/agent-catalog* from #2326 and #2328.
The version cache was keyed by path, size and mtime, so a binary renamed
over the old one with the same size and a copied mtime kept the old
version. The fingerprint now adds the device, the inode and the ctime,
read in nanoseconds. A test replaces a stub that way and reads the new
version.
…agent in DESIGN.md

The steps had no styles: list bullets, full-size icons and the button squeezed
beside them on a phone. Each step is now one line with a small check or
circle, and on a phone the button goes under the steps.
…al tab

POST /api/agent-catalog/install opens a tab and types the agent's official
command for this PC's platform, picked by the server from the catalog (the
primary command or one of the platform's alternatives) and checked against
the vendor's own addresses and packages again before it is typed; the
request never carries a command. Every line shows and Ctrl+C stops it.
On Windows a command for another shell than the tab's is refused.

POST /api/agent-catalog/sign-in runs the installed agent's own sign-in
command, or the agent itself where it signs in inside, the same way.

Both are refused to a watching device and reach another PC through the PC
proxy. The demo answers that it installs nothing.
…agent

AgentSetupCard runs one agent's setup as two steps on one card: Install
starts the official command in a terminal tab (POST /api/agent-catalog/install),
then the catalog is read again every 3 s until the agent is there, which
decides installed rather than how the tab ended (Devin's installer exits 1
after installing). Sign in runs the agent's own sign-in in a tab, then
Start hands off. Show details shows the exact command, Open terminal shows
its tab, and Cancel leaves the tab as it is.

The steps are a pure reducer (src/lib/agentSetup.ts). The card has no
entry point yet: onboarding (PR 3) and Settings and the picker (PR 4)
place it. "Install" and "Sign in" move to the base dictionary, now that
two parts use them.
"Installed. New terminal tabs will find it." instead of a note about PATH,
which moves under Show details, and "Uses the official installer, on this
PC." instead of naming a terminal tab before anything runs.
From the merge pass's review of #2328:

- Install and sign-in take only their own fields (agent, and alternative
  for an install); a request with any other field, such as a command or a
  platform, gets 400 unknown_field before a tab opens, through the PC
  proxy too.
- On Windows, nothing is typed into a new tab until herdr names its shell:
  it waits up to 10 s for PowerShell or cmd.exe to come in front, and
  answers 409 shell_unknown when neither does, for install and sign-in.
  It no longer falls back to PowerShell. A tab that gets nothing typed
  (shell_unknown, shell_mismatch) is closed instead of left behind.
- One install of an agent at a time on a PC: a second one gets 409
  install_running until the first one's tab ends, or until the agent is
  found where it was not before. An install that fails to start releases
  it at once.
- The setup card's test asserts the step shown and its actions, not the
  English text.
The demo's agents.json was recorded before the server labelled these four,
so its picker showed grok, hermes, agy and devin in lowercase beside the
named agents. The labels now match server/agents-routes.ts AGENT_LABELS.
…gs, start only pickable agents

From the reviews of the entry points:

- Settings -> Agent integrations: a setup stays on the PC it began on when
  another PC is picked meanwhile. Installed agents with a sign-in get Sign in,
  which opens the card at that step, so a sign-in left for its terminal tab
  can be finished later. Start opens New workspace on that PC with the agent
  picked for that opening only (the remembered default is left alone), and
  only for an agent a picker can start; Command Code goes back to the list.
  Check again stays on the page when the catalog cannot be read.
- New workspace, New tab and New worktree: after a setup, the fields and
  Start stay disabled until the PC's agents are read again and the new one
  is picked, and an answer for an earlier opening changes nothing.
- The card takes the focus when it replaces the list.
- Setup guide: any paired device counts as a phone, the one reading
  included, and the agent names are joined in the page's language.
- Agent rows wrap on a phone: the version and the button go under the
  description.
On a fresh install (no herdr workspace, no saved or shared settings, no
paired device) Ovis asks "Is this your first time using Ovis?". "I've used
Ovis before" goes straight to the app and the guide never opens by itself
again; "I'm new" walks Agent, Plan usage, Phone and Alerts, each skippable,
with "Skip setup" always there, then Done lists what was done or skipped
(and where Settings has it) and opens the first project with the agent.

- Agent: the plan the user pays for (Claude, ChatGPT, or neither: OpenCode)
  picks the agent, then AgentSetupCard installs and signs in to it; the
  guide moves on once the card says the agent is ready.
- Plan usage: a preview drawn by the usage meter's own account block,
  switched on by default right after a sign-in; nothing is read while off.
- Phone: the QR code on a computer, add to the home screen on a phone.
- Alerts: a sample alert and two switches, then the existing alerts switch.
- Where the guide stands is kept in this browser, so a reload resumes it;
  src/lib/setupGuide.ts is the opener Settings → Setup guide calls (PR 4).

No server route is added.
… refocus after the refresh

From the re-reviews:

- Setup guide: the agent names were run together by a narrow unit list
  ("Claude Code Codex" in English, no gap at all in Japanese); they are
  joined as a list in the page's language now.
- Start from Settings selects the PC the setup ran on before New workspace
  opens, so the address and a reload name the PC the dialog makes on; a
  phone's drawer closes as New workspace's other ways in close it.
- After Add another agent, the focus goes back to the picker once the PC's
  agents are read again, when the picker is enabled.
- agentList.test.ts drops two asserts that only restated the supported list.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Add agents directly from workspace, tab, and worktree pickers, or manage available and installed agents in Settings. Guided setup opens a terminal for installation or sign-in and helps you start the agent when it’s ready.
    • A skippable setup guide walks through agent, plan usage, phone, and alert setup. It can open on eligible fresh installs and be reopened from Settings.
    • Setup screens are available in Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved agent version detection on Windows, including agents launched through command scripts.

This pull request adds agent installation and sign-in through terminal tabs, exposes agent setup in pickers and Settings, and adds a persistent first-run guide with automatic opening rules, progress tracking, and a Settings entry point.

Changes: Agent setup and onboarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent install and sign-in API
server/agent-catalog-*, server/index.ts, server/machine-api.ts, server/machines.test.ts, shared/agent-catalog.ts, shared/protocol.ts
Adds install and sign-in routes that validate requests, open terminal tabs, detect compatible shells, and type catalog-selected commands. The routes support machine proxying and reject watch-only mutations. Windows batch-file version checks now use ComSpec or cmd.exe.
Agent setup state and card
src/lib/agentList.ts, src/lib/agentSetup.ts, src/lib/api.ts, src/components/AgentSetupCard.*
Adds catalog classification helpers and setup transitions for installation, detection, sign-in, failure, and readiness. The setup card starts install or sign-in actions and polls the catalog while installation is in progress.
Picker and Settings entry points
src/components/AgentPicker.*, src/components/AddAgentPanel.*, src/components/AgentCatalogSettings.*, src/components/NewSessionDialog.tsx, src/components/WorktreeDialog.tsx, src/components/SettingsDialog.tsx, src/components/Sidebar.tsx, src/components/UsageMeters.tsx, src/App.tsx
Adds an “Add another agent…” picker action and catalog-backed agent setup in workspace and worktree dialogs. Settings displays installed and installable agents. Callbacks open terminal panes or start a new session, and watching devices cannot start setup actions.
Setup guide state and flow
src/lib/setupGuideFlow.ts, src/lib/setupGuide.ts, src/lib/useSetupGuide.ts, src/components/SetupGuide.*, src/components/SetupGuideSettings.*, src/App.tsx
Adds guide state, storage, cross-tab updates, fresh-install auto-open conditions, and a multi-step guide for agent, plan usage, phone, alerts, and project setup. Settings shows setup status and can reopen the guide.
Regression coverage and release support
scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts, scripts/settings-pages-demo-regression.ts, scripts/ci-browser.sh, docs/development.md, DESIGN.md, changelog.d/*, site/demo/*, src/lib/i18n*
Adds browser regression coverage for the new entry points and watching-device behavior. Updates design and release documentation, demo fixtures, and Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese translations.

Merge Risk: Low · up to ec5d7

Cancelling sign-in can offer an unnecessary reinstall, and the guide can create a workspace without its selected agent. Both are bounded but worth fixing before merge.

Reviews before opening (omo-native-code-reviewer and Codex gpt-6.1-sol xhigh, each run twice: the first diff, then the fixes).

Finding Severity Resolution
Start from Settings remembered the agent, and Command Code fell back to Shell MEDIUM (both) Start only for agents a picker can start; New workspace opens with the agent picked for that opening only (9cc2fa8)
Setup guide page unstyled MEDIUM (omo) SetupGuideSettings.css (03417b8)
Open setup guide has no listener before PR 3 MEDIUM (omo) Merge order in the PR body: PR 3 first

A Settings setup followed a PC switch MEDIUM (Codex) Setup pinned to the PC it began on (9cc2fa8)
Creation enabled before the new agent was picked MEDIUM (Codex) Fields and Start disabled until the agents are read again; stale answers ignored (9cc2fa8)
Agent names in the Setup guide ran together (narrow unit list) MEDIUM (omo re-review) Conjunction list in the page's language (1ab5ceb)
Reload after Start could name the other PC MEDIUM (Codex re-review) The setup's PC is selected before New workspace opens (1ab5ceb)
Focus on view swaps, Check again on error, phone count, drawer, test asserts that restated a constant LOW Fixed (9cc2fa8, 1ab5ceb)
Open terminal closes the creation dialog; card says "Start" in the dialogs; catalog names longer than picker labels LOW Left as they are, listed in the PR body

bun run check fast is green on a61c90b (after merging the updated #2328 branch), and the 18-check browser run passes on the same commit.

From the omo and Codex reviews of the setup guide:

- The guide steps aside for a pane the user goes to by any way (a row,
  the palette, New workspace, a notification, a shortcut, the card's Open
  terminal), not only a sidebar row; a pane the app picks by itself
  leaves it in front. That logic lives in useSetupGuide, keeping App.tsx
  under its hook ceiling.
- Stepped aside, the guide stays mounted (hidden), so a sign-in in progress
  or a workspace being made goes on where it was; "Back to setup" returns
  to it. The card's Open terminal picks the new tab after the roster has
  it, so the pick is not released as a closed pane.
- It decides nothing on a failed access read, or before this device's role
  is known, so a paired or watching device never sees it by mistake.
- Done launches the agent from the saved choice, not the catalog row that
  may still be loading; an agent that does not start says so and offers
  to open the workspace. The guide is this PC's: the folder browser and
  the workspace both use it.
- Closed in another tab of this browser, it closes here too.
- Each step's heading takes focus as it opens; an agent already ready when
  its card opens waits for Start; a failed notification request still
  moves on. The line under the agent card that repeated the card's own is
  gone, and the waiting notice is a quiet line, not an alert.
- The opener test now runs the opener instead of restating a constant.
From the omo re-review:

- The guide steps aside when selectTarget is called (useSelectTarget's new
  onPick: a row, the palette, a new workspace, an alert, a link, the tab
  the guide opened), also for the pane already selected. It no longer
  infers a pick from a selection change: the app's fallback pick of the
  first pane on a fresh install (no autoSelected flag) pushed the guide
  aside as soon as an install or sign-in tab appeared.
- Closing the guide clears its open flag at once, so Done's first
  workspace, picked right after, does not mark it stepped aside.
- An agent already ready when its card opens waits for Start every time
  the card is shown, also after Back and under StrictMode: the card's
  first report is matched against the very step it was given.
… regression for the entry points

From the merge pass's review and the owner:

- A device that only watches no longer gets Add another agent... in New
  workspace and New tab: a setup types into a terminal on the PC, which it may
  not do (New worktree is already not offered to it, and Settings already hid
  Install and Sign in).
- Settings -> Agent integrations drops the All / Coding agents / Assistants
  filter, as the owner asked: Installed and Can be installed stay, and each
  agent's one line already says what it is. This also ends the filter's
  overflow on a 320px phone in Japanese.
- scripts/settings-pages-demo-regression.ts expects the list's three headings,
  so its later checks run again.
- scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts (browser lane): the picker's
  row and its list, the card and Back, New worktree's row, Settings' lists,
  Install, Sign in and Start, the Setup guide's steps and its request for the
  guide, and none of the setup on a watching device, at 1280 and 390.
…s folder

From the Codex review:

- A close made in another tab of this browser wins over progress this tab
  has not opened afresh since: a step taken here before the close event
  arrived no longer writes the guide open again. The close is read from the
  storage event itself. Opening it here (the welcome, Settings) may replace
  a closed record once.
- Done's Use this folder takes the folder the browser picked. A recent folder
  that is gone made the browser fall back to home without saying so, and the
  pick kept the missing folder; the absolute path is kept only for the folder
  the browser said it shows.
From the Codex review: a close from another tab whose storage event comes
after this tab reopened the guide (Settings) and wrote it is the older of
the two, and no longer dismisses the reopened guide. A close counts only
while storage no longer holds this tab's own later write.
From the Codex review: reading the record back after writing it could pick
up another tab's close written in between, and then ignore that close.
saveGuide now returns the exact record it wrote, and that is what a later
close event is compared with.
The fragment said nothing was installed yet; this PR adds the install and
sign-in routes and the setup card, so the entry says so.

npm installs an agent on Windows as a .cmd shim, a batch file that only
cmd.exe runs, so detection could not read its version. runVersion now
runs a .cmd or .bat as `cmd.exe /d /s /c "<line>"`, the line quoted as
cmd reads it, with Bun's argument quoting off (windowsVerbatimArguments).
From CodeRabbit on #2332.
The overall-deadline test slept for real and checked elapsed time. The
install routes now read time through an injectable clock, and the test
moves a virtual one only when the code has started its next sleep, so it
asserts the exact virtual time the lookup ended at. The lookup also ends
at the deadline instead of pausing for 0 ms there.
From the merge pass's review of #2332: a watching device could resume a
saved guide or reopen it from Settings, and then see the setup card's
Install and Sign in and Done's workspace button (the server refused them,
403 read_only, but the guide should not offer them).

The guide is never restored, reopened or shown for a watching device, and
an open one goes when the device turns into a watching one, without
closing it for this browser. The role is the same one Settings and New
workspace read for #2330's Add another agent (auth.role === "watch").
Hook tests with a watch-role fixture: resume, reopen and the role change
each fail without the fix.

Merge pass review on a61c90b and the owner's request, resolved in one push (bce10d7):

  • HIGH, Open setup guide had no listener: feat(setup): a first-run setup guide on a fresh install #2332 (feat/onboarding-first-run) is merged in (no rebase) and is now this PR's base. scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts waits for the guide's region and its step after Open setup guide, and checks that no guide shows by itself first. On the commit before the merge it times out waiting for the guide; after it, the guide opens on "Which AI do you already pay for?" at 1280 and 390, dark and light.
  • MEDIUM, a watching device reached Install: New workspace and New tab offer no Add another agent... to a device that only watches (New worktree and Settings' Install and Sign in already did not). The regression's watching-device case failed before the fix.
  • MEDIUM, settings-pages regression: it expects the list's three headings; it passes in full locally.
  • Owner: the All / Coding agents / Assistants filter is gone. That also ends its overflow on a 320px phone in Japanese, which the settings-pages regression caught.
  • #2328's new tip (1917df3, origin/main merged in) and feat(setup): a first-run setup guide on a fresh install #2332's tip are merged in (no rebase); "Setup guide" moved to the base dictionaries, since both PRs use it with the same words.

Checks on bce10d7: bun run check fast green. Browser lane: every script passes except three that fail only on this PC. device-security-demo-regression.ts fails inside the long local lane, but passes alone on this head, on #2332's tip and on #2328's tip, and passed in this PR's first CI run. grok-chat-browser-qa.ts and agy-chat-browser-qa.ts fail because local herdr 0.9.5 does not detect their fictional processes; CI pins 0.9.3, and both passed in this PR's first CI run.

checkUsageMeters moves an account, and the app saves the shared account
order to the server once the settings rest. When that save landed before
the check ended, checkUsageSignInAgain on the same server inherited the
order: its expired report then listed Antigravity first, and the notes
assertion failed. That is a race in the test, on main too (seeding the
server with that order fails main the same way), and it surfaced in PR
runs of #2328 and the 0.4.20 release PR. The check now clears the shared
account order before it opens a page.
#2332 now never shows the guide to a device that only watches, so the button
in Settings -> Setup guide would do nothing there. It says instead that the
guide opens on a device that can make changes; the steps still show. The
regression's watching-device case failed before this.
…tching one

From the merge pass's review of #2330: a device whose pairing turns it into
one that only watches kept what was already open.

- Settings -> Agent integrations: an open Install or Sign in card goes, and
  the list shows no Install or Sign in.
- New worktree is not offered to a watching device, so an open New worktree
  dialog closes (Sidebar), its Add another agent... with it.
- New workspace's open Add another agent... panel already went with the role.

scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts turns the device into a
watching one mid-way (the demo's next health answer): the Settings case and
the New worktree case each failed before their fix.

Role downgrade while something is open (merge pass on 28a6ccd), fixed at 5b3f0c6:

  • Settings -> Agent integrations: an open Install or Sign in card closes when the role turns to "watch", and the list then shows no Install or Sign in (AgentCatalogSettings.tsx).
  • New worktree: an open dialog (with Add another agent... and its card) closes on the change (Sidebar.tsx); worktrees are not offered to a watching device at all.
  • New workspace: the open Add another agent... panel already goes with the role, and the row is not offered.

Test: scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts, case "turning into a watching device closes an open Install card, Add another agent... panel and New worktree dialog". It mounts as a driving device, opens the card or dialog, then flips the demo's next health answer to role "watch" mid-view. The Settings case failed on the 28a6ccd code (the card stayed); the New worktree case failed with only the Settings fix (the dialog stayed). Also "a watching device ... gets no Open setup guide" (28a6ccd).

bun run check fast green; scripts/settings-pages-demo-regression.ts full matrix 19/19; the entry-points regression 22/22 at 1280 and 390, dark and light.

devswha added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 30, 2026
Onboarding PR 3 of 4: the first-run setup guide.

**It needed #2326 and #2328 first; both are merged**, and `main` is
merged in. The diff against `main` is this PR's own change: client code,
DESIGN.md and a changelog fragment. Nothing in `server/` or `shared/`
changes, and no route or contract is added. Settings → Phone's "Pair
this device now" now goes through the shared `src/lib/pairing.ts` (same
steps, same messages). PR 4 (#2330, Settings → Setup guide) adds the
same `src/lib/setupGuide.ts` byte for byte, so the two merge cleanly.

## What it does

On a fresh install Ovis asks **"Is this your first time using Ovis?"**
- **I've used Ovis before** goes straight to the app, and the guide
never opens by itself again.
- **I'm new** opens one screen. There is no progress bar and there are
no steps; **Skip setup** is always there.
- First Ovis **checks this PC** (`GET /api/agent-catalog`). Every coding
agent shows a spinner until its answer comes back. A check that answers
in under 300 ms stays on screen until 300 ms; a slower one adds no wait.
- Then **every coding agent appears as a compact two-column tile, the
same screen whatever the PC has.** The order is Claude Code, Codex, the
others installed, then the rest.
- An installed agent is picked with a tap (version and check). Claude
Code is preselected, else Codex, else the first.
- **Start with <agent>** opens the first workspace with it, in the
folder this browser used last or else the server's home. If that folder
is gone (`invalid_cwd`), it opens the home instead.
- A missing agent is dim, with a small **Install** (a download icon on
phones). **Nothing is installed without the user's tap: tapping Install
is the consent.** That one tap runs the agent's official installer in a
terminal tab, and a spinner turns on the tile until the catalog lists
the agent. Tapping the spinner shows the tab. The tile then becomes an
installed one and is picked.
- Several installs can run at once, and Start does not wait for them. An
install that never shows up stops after ten minutes and offers Try
again.
- **The guide has no sign-in step.** The agent asks for its own sign-in
when it first starts. An in-browser sign-in UI is planned as the next PR
(the owner's call; it needs a server contract).
- Plan usage turns on by itself for accounts already signed in (`GET
/api/usage`).
- **Connect your phone**, beside Start, shows a QR code that opens the
app on the phone with a fresh pairing code filled in, plus the address
and the code (the existing `POST /api/devices/pair/start`). "Paired: …"
confirms a phone that used the code.
- The code is requested only on the user's action (opening the box, or
New code) and is never renewed in the background.
- **On a fresh install this browser is in only because nothing is paired
yet** (open access), and a paired phone turns the app's sign-in on. So
the tap first pairs this browser, exactly as Settings → Phone's "Pair
this device now" does, then shows the QR. A line says "This browser is
paired first: other browsers now need pairing too." That tap is the
user's consent (the owner's decision).
- The self-pairing is one shared operation (`src/lib/pairing.ts`), used
by both the guide and Settings → Phone. One runs at a time in a page,
because two at once could leave a void cookie in place of the good one.
None runs for a browser the server already lists as paired. After it,
the app reads its access again.
- Settings → Phone takes over only when the page has no phone-reachable
address (loopback), or the server does not say how this browser got in.
- A failed check shows "Couldn't check this PC" with the error and Look
again.

"Fresh install" means all of the following:
- herdr has no workspace on this PC;
- this browser saved no settings;
- the server holds no shared settings (revision 0);
- no device is paired;
- this device is not a watching one. A watching device never sees the
guide.

A failed read of any of these decides nothing. When the guide is closed
in one tab, it closes in the others too.

A Start that finishes after the user moved to another pane, or closed
the guide, does not take them there. A pane picked with the keys or the
palette now sets the guide aside, as a pick from the sidebar already
did.

Known limits, not changed here: two tabs of the same browser pairing
themselves at the same instant can still race (`main` has the same gap
between two Settings tabs). The server keeps a single pending pairing
code. Two views asking for one (the guide's box and Settings → Phone, or
two Settings tabs on `main` today) can replace each other's code.

The design follows the Claude and Codex apps' first runs: one screen in
the main area, with the sidebar left in place. DESIGN.md has a "Setup
guide" entry, and the ko/ja/zh strings are in `src/lib/i18n/guide.*.ts`.
`AgentSetupCard`'s logic moved unchanged into
`src/lib/useAgentSetup.ts`; the card uses it, and so do the guide's
tiles.

## Verification

- **Tests that failed first, against missing exports or the old
behaviour, and pass now:**
- `setupGuideFlow.test.ts`: the fresh-install predicate, the welcome →
setup state, saved records, the check's lines and settle time,
`agentRows`, `installedHere`, `preferredAgent`, `signedInAgents`,
`tileState` (including install, stuck, retry and a stale request),
`openInFolder` and `readSignedIn`.
- `pairing.test.ts` (single flight; no new pairing for a listed
browser), `phoneBoxMode` in `setupGuideFlow.test.ts`, and
`useAgentSetup.hook.test.ts` (no tile callback after unmount).
- `useSetupGuide.hook.test.ts`: cross-tab closes, `finish` keeping the
user's pane (in the same update too), and terminal-tab tickets voided by
Start, a close or a reopen.
  - `useSelectPane.hook.test.ts` and `useSignedInUsage.hook.test.ts`.
- `bun run check fast` is green on the head.
- **Browser walks** ran on isolated servers (fresh `OVIS_STATE_DIR`,
their own herdr sessions, loopback). Two isolated servers. **This PC's
14 agents:** the welcome shows by itself, then the check, then "You're
set up" with Claude Code picked; Connect your phone opens Settings on
loopback; picking Codex changes Start; Start opens the first workspace;
plan usage is on; the guide is recorded closed and stays closed on
reload. **An empty HOME:** all 14 agents show as tiles; nothing installs
before the tap; one tap on Claude Code's Install turns the spinner;
**the real official installer** finishes in 27 s, and the tile becomes
"Claude Code 2.1.312", picked; "You're set up"; Start opens the
workspace. **A forced 500:** "Couldn't check this PC". Screenshots: both
screens at 1280/390, dark and light.
- **Reviews** (owner-requested reworks V4 → V6), from
omo-native-code-reviewer and Codex (Sol 6.1, then Terra 6.1 from round 3
on, per the owner):
- Every HIGH and MEDIUM raised over the rounds is fixed. They covered
install races, focus, per-tile errors, stale replies, pairing-code
lifecycles and Start vs pane picks.
- The review bench's #9 (a late Start overriding a newer pane pick) is
fixed and tested.
- omo approves, and Terra's last round has no HIGH or MEDIUM within
scope.

catalog-installed agents use the same resolved executable for readiness and
launch; ensure startShellAgent can resolve that executable before the workspace
is created, or prevent completion when it cannot.

Review comments at @src/lib/agentSetup.ts:
- Around line 48-49: Update the agent setup state transitions so cancelling
sign-in returns to installed with the original version and onPath values, while
cancelling installation still returns to idle. Carry version and onPath through
failed sign-in states and sign-in retries in the signing-in, failed,
sign-in-started, and cancel cases.

Use the same executable resolution for readiness and launch.

When omo or gjc is found only in a catalog install directory, the guide can report the agent as ready even though the create path cannot resolve it. AgentSetupCard accepts on_path: false, then DoneStep sends the agent kind to workspace creation. startShellAgent checks only the service and login-shell PATHs. It does not check the catalog install directory. The route creates the workspace before launch, so the result is a workspace without the selected agent.

Use the same resolved executable for catalog readiness and workspace launch, or prevent the guide from completing until the create path can resolve it.

Update the DoneStep launch flow around createWorkspace so catalog-installed
agents use the same resolved executable for readiness and launch; ensure
startShellAgent can resolve that executable before the workspace is created, or
prevent completion when it cannot.

Preserve the installed state when cancelling sign-in.

Settings starts an installed agent at installed. Cancelling its signing-in step currently returns idle, which shows an enabled Install button and does not restart detection. This can run the installer again.

Return to installed only for a cancelled sign-in. Preserve the original version and onPath; do not set onPath: true, because setupStart maps row.state.on_path === false to onPath: false. Carry these values through sign-in retries from a failed sign-in as well. Keep install cancellation returning idle.

Update the agent setup state transitions so cancelling sign-in returns to
installed with the original version and onPath values, while cancelling
installation still returns to idle. Carry version and onPath through failed
sign-in states and sign-in retries in the signing-in, failed, sign-in-started,

Closing in favour of #2413, which rebuilds this on the V6 setup guide that #2332 merged (the old step guide and its setup card are gone). #2413 keeps this PR's work: the picker's "Add another agent…" row, the add panel, Settings → Agent integrations' list and the entry-points browser regression, now on the guide's shared tiles. The step-status Setup guide page and the Sign in / Start-from-Settings flow are dropped (no sign-in step in V6; an in-browser sign-in UI is a separate PR). Thank you for the groundwork.

…pen the setup guide (#2413)

Onboarding PR 4 of 4, rebuilt on the V6 setup guide (#2332, merged):
ways for people who already use Ovis to add an agent, and to open the
guide again. It **replaces #2330**, which was built on the old step
guide and its setup card. #2330's picker row, add panel, Settings list
and browser regression are kept here; its card, sign-in and step-status
pieces are not.

## Change

- **The guide's agent tile is shared.** `AgentTile` (and
`AgentTile.css`) moves out of `SetupGuide.tsx`. It is a move only: class
names are kept, and `onPick`, `onRunning` and `onError` became optional.
An installed tile with no `onPick` is shown but not pickable.
- **Add another agent…** is the last row of the agent picker in New
workspace, New tab and New worktree.
- It shows the agents the dialog's PC lacks, and a picker can start, as
tiles.
- **Install is the one tap**, and that tap is the user's consent. The
official installer runs in a terminal tab while a ring turns on the tile
until the PC lists the agent. Then the dialog reads the PC's agents
again and picks it.
- There's no setup card and no sign-in step: the agent asks for its
sign-in when it first starts. An in-browser sign-in UI is the next PR.
  - **Back** keeps what was typed.
- **Settings → Agent integrations:**
- **Open setup guide** sits at its top. It shows only on this PC's page,
and it closes Settings and opens the V6 guide (`lib/setupGuide.ts`).
- Then come the PC's installed agents with their versions, then the
agents it can install, as the same tiles. Install errors show in a line.
  - herdr's integrations stay below.
- The palette's "Setup guide" points at that row. #2330's separate Setup
guide page, with its step status, is gone.
- **A watching device** gets none of this: no Add another agent…, no
Install, no Open setup guide.
- **Server, with no contract change** (same `installed` field):
- `GET /api/agents` offers an agent only when a PATH a pane's shell
starts it from has it (the service PATH, or the login shell's).
- A hit in the agent's installer folder (`detect.install_dirs`) has the
login PATH read again (`server/installed-lookup.ts`): at once for a new
install, then at most every 30 s while it still misses. Reads that come
during a refresh wait for it.
- The catalog's and the shell-agent locator's refreshes coalesce, queued
after any read already out.
- **After Add another agent… installs one**, the dialog waits with its
fields off ("It is installed. Waiting for this PC to offer it here…")
and reads the agents again every 10 s from each read's start, at most 70
s. Each read's outcome is taken once, so a slow, failed or stalled read
never locks it and a late answer never overrides the user
(`src/lib/latestRead.ts`, `readAgainUntil`).
- **A guide reopened from Settings changes no setting:** it doesn't turn
plan usage on, nor say it will. The mark survives a reload.
- **Dialog reads:** a creation dialog's agent list applies only its
latest read (`lib/latestRead.ts`).

## Validation

- **Tests that fail first** (also for the merge pass's two MEDIUMs:
`server/installed-lookup.test.ts`, `server/agents-routes.test.ts`,
`server/shell-agent.test.ts`, `server/agent-catalog-detect.test.ts`,
`src/lib/latestRead.test.ts` on a virtual clock,
`src/components/NewSessionDialog.test.tsx` mounted closed→open→closed,
`src/lib/setupGuideFlow.test.ts`):
- `AgentPicker.test.tsx`: the Add row is last, opens the add flow, picks
no agent, and is reachable with End then Enter.
  - `agentList.test.ts`.
  - `latestRead.test.ts`.
- `server/agents-routes.test.ts`: an agent found on the login PATH
counts as installed.
- `server/shell-agent.test.ts`: a kind installed after a miss is found
on the kept login PATH, with no new shell.
- One assertion in the existing "concurrent callers" test now expects a
kind put back to be found at once. That's the intended change.
- **`bun run check fast`** is green on the head (0e5ab4d).
- **`scripts/agent-entry-points-demo-regression.ts`**, rewritten for V6,
passes at 1280 and 390, dark and light, on the demo transport:
  - the picker row, then the tiles of the missing agents;
- Install asks the PC, and the demo's refusal shows on the tile and in
the line;
  - Back puts the focus back on the picker;
- Settings shows its installed agents with versions, the tiles and no
Sign in;
  - Open setup guide opens the V6 guide;
  - New worktree's row;
- a device that turns watching loses all of it, and a watching device
never gets it.
- **`scripts/settings-pages-demo-regression.ts`** passes without the old
Setup guide page.
- **Reviews:**
- omo-native-code-reviewer: CLEAR / APPROVE. It raised one MEDIUM, that
an installed agent could be missing from the picker; fixed in the server
as above.
- Codex Terra 6.1, rounds 1 to 14: no HIGH or MEDIUM left. Its MEDIUMs
are fixed:
    - a stale agent read overwriting the newer one;
    - Settings hiding install errors;
- a just-installed OmO or Gajae Code hidden by the locator's 60 s kept
miss (reproduced).

Left as LOW:
- The palette's "Setup guide" entry is still searchable on a remote PC's
page or a watching device, where it lands on the page without the row.
- Tapping the ring to watch the install closes the dialog, so the new
agent isn't picked by itself.
- A failed Check again in Settings replaces every tile, including one
whose install is running.
- `AgentSetupCard` is unused since #2332. It stays for the in-browser
sign-in PR.
