feat: simplify agent onboarding and configuration (#13011)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators create agents and configure their runtimes in the board
UI.
> - The old creation flow presents several choices and a large form
before an agent can start.
> - The existing onboarding controls already provide clear provider
connection steps.
> - This pull request uses those controls in a new-agent wizard and
organizes the full configuration pages.
> - Operators can connect, test, save, and assign a first task while
keeping the existing configuration tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #10974. That earlier open PR also reorganizes agent
configuration. This PR follows the reviewed Storybook designs for agent
creation and the current configuration tabs.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent creation, provider connection, runtime tests, and full agent
configuration.

**Current behavior**

The creation dialog leads to a large manual configuration form. Provider
login controls differ from onboarding. Environment variables and secret
access appear in separate places.

**Proposed behavior**

Choose a name and adapter. Connect Claude or Codex through the existing
onboarding controls. Configure and test the runtime, save the agent, and
open a task dialog with that agent assigned. Use the same design on the
existing configuration tabs.

**Reason and benefit**

The first setup asks for fewer decisions. The full editor keeps
instructions, skills, runtime controls, secret access, permissions,
keys, and revisions available in clear sections.

**Breaking changes**

The board creation and configuration layouts change. The
test-environment API adds an optional, allowlisted `testCredentials`
field for one-shot probes. Database contracts stay the same. Native ACPX
tests now reject unsupported local platforms before a CLI login can mask
the runtime restriction.

## What Changed

- Added a new-agent wizard with numbered steps, adapter branding,
provider connections, editable model choices, runtime tests, and
confirmation.
- Added Codex app-server, Claude ACPX, and OpenCode runner choices.
- Stored API credentials through existing secret APIs and persisted
references in agent configuration. New setup keys are isolated from
credentials used by existing agents.
- Preserved external-agent invitations beside the wizard, including
optional messages, one-time prompts, and clipboard fallback.
- Added OpenRouter provider and secret bindings for Pi and OpenCode.
- Added adapter-specific prerequisite fields for Cursor, Gemini, Kimi,
and Hermes. Cursor Cloud keys are saved as new organization secrets.
- Fixed Cursor Cloud repository field mapping, omitted empty remote
environment values, and added useful model and repository error
messages.
- Preserved complete MCP assignments when multiple valid profiles
contain more than 250 tools in total. Generated profiles retain exact
tool selectors.
- Added service branding and deployment-aware adapter choices. Cloud
setup offers Claude, Codex, and OpenCode; local native runners require
the experimental setting.
- Made the agent list responsive at intermediate widths.
- Applied the reviewed design to the real agent configuration pages.
Kept the instruction editor, skills, and existing mutations.
- Combined secret access and environment variables under one Save and
Discard action.
- Added interactive Storybook screens for setup, configuration,
confirmation, authentication, and test results.
- Fixed Pi provider-error parsing and thinking-effort persistence.
Native ACPX validates Linux x64 on the actual local, SSH, or sandbox
target.
- Redacted the complete transient probe-credential field from HTTP error
logs, including rejected provider names.

## Verification

- Current head `df0292fe6` has a fresh Greptile 5/5 review with no
unresolved findings. All 31 executed CI checks passed, including the
aggregate verification gate and all browser E2E shards. Storybook visual
regression is skipped by its workflow; the local Storybook build passed.

- Browser tests completed real assigned tasks with direct Codex, Claude,
OpenCode, Pi, and native Codex.
- Verified external-agent invitation generation and automatic prompt
copying in the live browser.
- Pi and OpenCode used an existing OpenRouter secret. Browser checks
covered save and reload, instruction edits, skill selection,
environment-variable Save and Discard, and assigned task creation.
- Invalid Claude API credentials remained on the connection step with an
error. A live Pi/OpenRouter invalid-key probe returned a provider
failure and left the user-secret inventory unchanged (zero entries
before and after).
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed after rebasing onto current
master. After review fixes, server and UI typechecks, token gates, and
the full build passed again. Storybook built successfully.
- All 5,542 local UI tests passed. The Cursor Cloud and Pi adapter
regressions passed all 24 tests. Review regressions passed 69 server
tests and all 18 agent-list tests.
- The local full test command ran 6,971 general server tests
successfully. Editing review fixes during that long run caused nine
tests to use stale modules; fresh isolated runs passed. An unrelated
embedded-Postgres fixture hit the host shared-memory limit; its 15
affected tests passed when the fixture groups ran separately.
- Local workspace groups passed after rerunning 18 CLI tests
sequentially to avoid host database limits and parallel-load timeouts.
The local full command stopped at the general server phase, so
serialized server verification comes from the five passing CI shards.
- Browser testing at 390px confirmed that the agent action menu opens
and the page has no horizontal overflow. CI browser E2E shards passed.
- Review the `Onboarding / New agent` and `Agents / Configuration
refresh` Storybook groups. In the real app, create an agent, run its
connection test, save it, assign a task, and reload its configuration.

## Risks

- This changes the main agent setup and configuration UI. Regression
tests cover routing, persistence, secret bindings, and form actions.
- Native Claude ACPX requires Linux x64. Direct Claude works on macOS.
Remote checks execute a bounded platform probe and reject unsupported or
unverified targets.
- A native OpenCode task reached the provider context limit because of
its tool payload. Its provider connection test passed. Direct OpenCode
completed a task. This existing native execution limit is not fixed
here.
- Claude and Codex connection keys use the existing user-secret store.
Other runtime setup keys use distinct organization secrets. Existing
credentials are never rotated. Probes do not store entered keys. Failed
agent creation removes newly staged credentials.
- Cursor Cloud has not completed a live task. Its authenticated account
still needs GitHub repository access. The live run passed MCP
provisioning, remote environment validation, and explicit Auto model
selection before the repository prerequisite blocked execution.
- Generated runtime MCP profiles can exceed the public profile-edit
request limit. They still contain exact catalog selectors and preserve
permission boundaries.
- No database migration, dependency, lockfile, or workflow changes are
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser automation. The runtime did not expose the exact
model ID or context window size.

Gemini and Kimi use the color variants. Cursor, Grok, Hermes Agent, and Pi Agent use their monochrome brand marks. Dark variants replace currentColor with white for use as standalone images; the Kimi light variant changes its white letterform to black. All other artwork is unchanged. Pi is the coding agent at pi.dev.
