feat(onboarding): first-steps activation checklist - #1169
Conversation
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a first-steps activation checklist. The backend derives progress from existing user signals and exposes checklist APIs. The web app renders a collapsible widget with optimistic hiding, dismissal, caching, and completion feedback. ChangesFirst-steps activation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Authenticated users can falsely complete onboarding steps without doing them. Restricted browser storage can also disrupt the checklist, and its API response is not validated. These issues should be resolved before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Greptile SummaryThis PR adds a persistent first-steps activation checklist backed by authenticated API endpoints and progress derived from existing user, integration, platform-link, and todo state.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains; the previously reported whole-widget dismissal issue is fixed by a distinct persisted dismissal action, while the other prior findings are removed or acknowledged as aligned with the revised specification.

Two pull-model surfaces on top of the work the rest of the stack does. Neither is load-bearing, so they land last and can be dropped without touching anything below. - GET /dashboard/today aggregates five todo queries by status in one read-only call and reuses the morning briefing's own headline before noon, so the pull surface and the push surface agree rather than narrating the day twice. - Today rows (needs-you, in-flight, suggested, your tasks, done) render at the top of /todos. The standalone /dashboard route is untouched and stays as it is on master. - First-steps: a five-step activation checklist derived from real signals rather than self-report, back-filling steps the user already satisfied instead of asking them to repeat work. Dismissible, mounted once in the authed layout. - routes.py mounts the briefing, dashboard and first-steps routers, so it lands here after every endpoint module it references exists.

Reject checklist completion from the PATCH endpoint
PATCH /users/me/first-steps passes the browser-supplied step to first_steps_service.mark_step, which persists every valid checklist key without checking its real signal. get_steps then treats that timestamp as completion, so an authenticated caller can falsely complete any checklist step. Allow this route to persist only STEP_DISMISSED_ALL; keep checklist completion in signal-owning paths.

Superseded by #1202, which rebuilds first-steps on the paid-only onboarding (#1161) in stack #1184. The steps here (goal, approve-a-todo) were designed against the previous onboarding flow and can no longer complete under it; the todo approval machinery is also being removed from #1166. Branch left in place. |



Summary
A first-steps checklist that walks a new user to the moments that make the
product make sense — connect an integration, link a chat platform, approve the
first thing GAIA does. It derives progress from real signals rather than
self-report, so a step the user already satisfied shows as done instead of
asking them to redo it. Dismissible.
Why
After onboarding there was nothing pointing a new user at the first useful
action. The activation moments that predict retention were undiscoverable.
What changed
API

Risk

anything below it in the stack.
