first-run-ux: welcome modal + first-run gate (PR-B of #1101)#1150
Merged
Conversation
Stacked on top of PR-A (feat/empty-states-foundation), which adds the
ModalWidget primitive and the `hasOnboarded` field. PR-B is the
user-facing flow that consumes both.
What ships:
- `widgets/onboarding/WelcomeModalWidget.ts` (new). Two short panels
wrapped in `<modal-widget>`:
1. Intro — what Continuum is, in one paragraph
2. Hand-off — "Helper AI is in General. Send a message there to
see the system in motion." Skip-keys note: optional cloud
providers in Settings.
Step indicator + Back/Next/Got-it buttons. Backdrop / Escape /
X dismissal is treated as "completed" so the modal doesn't nag
the user the next session.
- MainWidget gate. In `onFirstRender`, checks
`this.currentUser.hasOnboarded` (loaded by ReactiveWidget's
connectedCallback before onFirstRender runs). Falsy → open the
modal. On `welcome-complete`, persists `hasOnboarded: true` via
`data/update` and reflects the value on the in-memory entity so a
re-render doesn't re-open the modal. Persist failure is logged
but not surfaced — the worst-case is "modal shows again next
session."
- Seed: `SYSTEM_ROOM_UNIQUE_IDS` extended with `'general'`. Previous
set was `['settings', 'help', 'theme', 'canvas']`, so a fresh
install put Helper AI into support rooms only and left General
with no AI for users running with zero API keys. The welcome
modal's hand-off copy now matches what's actually in the room.
The constant is referenced from both the fresh-seed and
existing-rooms paths in seed-continuum.ts, so the change applies
in both flows.
Copy choices (per #1101 discussion):
- Skip the API-key step — local inference is enough out-of-box
after #336's model evaluation work; Settings is a follow-up, not a
blocker.
- Feature Helper AI specifically (not GeneralAI, which requires
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and won't be seeded for no-key users).
- Tone: warm, brief, system-confident — three short paragraphs total
across both panels. Easy to edit at the strings in WelcomeModalWidget.
`npm run build:ts` is green. Not visually validated locally — flow gate
is in the test plan.
