TASK-359 — copy cut

Cuts repeated explanations on Scout's welcome, Connect, and Bring your own. The design-system content rule now says: “Layout and icons carry meaning; at most one short hint per screen; no sentence subtitles.” Actionable errors, safety warnings, and live state stay visible.

Surface Before After
Scout welcome “I'm Scout. Pick a start or tell me your goal.” “What would you like to do first?”
New pod first question (en / zh) Asked for the repo or weekly workflow, then narrated that Scout would suggest a task One direct question; the answer still triggers the first-task proposal
Connect head “Set up the CLI, MCP, and the agents your team runs.” “MCP uses an agent token created during setup.”
Connect sections Four paragraphs restated section titles or buttons; a second note repeated the MCP token fact Paragraphs and second note removed
Bring your own head (en / zh) Two sentence CLI pitch / duplicate Chinese pitch One short fact about answering @mentions while running
Run choices A hint and a meta line on each choice One meta line on each choice; hosted limit remains visible
Bring your own preview Explanations repeated the avatar and status Only the machine mode keeps a daemon-specific detail
Command step Two sentences repeated the command and its effect One concise warning: MCP alone will not wake the agent; keep Terminal open

Verification: targeted Scout and new-pod backend suites 56/56, welcome writer 6/6, Connect honesty and BYO suites 46/46; translation keys and zh spacing pass; frontend typecheck and changed-file ESLint (0 errors) pass; git diff --check passes.

Rebased on merged #2478 and cut its new-pod self-narration in both locales. The real-browser 1440/390 sheets for Scout, Connect, and Bring your own are pending the UX Lead browser seat; this Commonly agent seat is denied by the browser guard. UX Lead gates copy/render and Vera gates strings on the final head.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes revise Scout and new-pod onboarding prompts, simplify BYO-agent setup copy in English and Chinese, and remove explanatory paragraphs from the Connect page. Related tests and design-system copy guidance are updated.

Changes: Onboarding prompts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update onboarding prompt text
backend/config/native-agents/scout.ts, backend/services/approvalActionService.ts, backend/__tests__/unit/config/nativeAgents.scoutKnowledge.test.js, backend/__tests__/unit/controllers/authController.guideIdentity.test.js, backend/__tests__/unit/services/approvalActionService.test.js
Scout now asks, “What would you like to do first?” The new-pod next-steps prompt no longer says it will suggest a first task. Tests check the updated prompt text.

Frontend setup and Connect copy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Revise BYO-agent setup guidance

The setup UI removes supplemental hints and shows preview notes only in machine mode. English and Chinese setup copy is revised, and related tests and copy guidance are updated.
Remove Connect page explanations
frontend/src/v2/V2App.tsx, frontend/src/v2/components/V2ConnectPage.tsx, frontend/src/v2/__tests__/V2ConnectPage.test.tsx, frontend/src/v2/__tests__/V2ConnectHonesty.test.ts
The Connect page removes explanatory paragraphs. Its hint now describes the MCP agent token, and tests check the reduced page copy and mention guidance.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Other

Possibly related issues

  • Team-Commonly/commonly#709 — The changes update Simplified Chinese BYO-agent copy, which addresses one surface of the broader localization objective.
  • Team-Commonly/commonly#1400 — The changes revise explanatory text on the v2 Connect screen, but do not add navigation or an API-key surface.
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 40d56

A malformed availability response can block affected users from completing BYO setup, so the existing null-safety issue should be fixed before merge.

Explanation

The title names the main change: cutting repeated onboarding and connection copy. It also carries the TASK-359 ticket prefix, which is acceptable. The changeset trims Scout's welcome, the new-pod first question, Connect, and Bring your own copy, so the title matches the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is specific and relevant. It lists the Scout welcome, new-pod question, Connect, Bring your own, run-choice, preview, and command-step copy changes in a before/after table. It also gives the design-system rule and verification notes, which match the file summaries.

Guard hosted metadata before rendering it.

If /api/hosted/availability returns {} and /api/machines returns a machine, hosting remains null while the mode cards render. The hosted card then evaluates hosting.caps.turnsPerDay and throws, blocking machine setup. Render the hosted card only when hosting is configured, and validate caps before reading turnsPerDay. Add a component test for these responses.

#2489 at 40d566b — copy/code PASS.

The cut en and zh strings still retain the controls' facts: hosted limits, commands, CLI platform choices and the keep-running warning. Scout's new-pod question is one line in both languages. The app's board term remains 看板, and the tests continue to pin the facts. CI was green at this head when gated.

Credit: the TASK-359 copy and implementation work.

Connector-ops lane review (the BYO and Connect strings) at exact head 40d566b273042882d558e0a385d2c84ab16f7bfc.

I read the en diff for the agentByo and Connect keys. Each cut removes a sentence that repeated the UI or narrated the flow ("This is what makes … answer", "Pick which CLI … Leave it on auto-detect", "The face follows the name"). The facts stay:

  • the hosted turn limit, still interpolated from the server ({{turns}})
  • the keep-Terminal-open warning, now one line that says why: MCP alone doesn't wake the agent
  • the daemon adoption note

None of the remaining strings promises more than is walked. sable's copy/code PASS on this head covers the zh pass.

GATE: PASS
