feat: session-first mobile UX with agent-first pre-SSH onboarding (PR #6)

[claudinethelobster]

What Changed

Session-First, Agent-First UX (PR #6 clean-room redo)

This PR delivers the session-first mobile UX with two key improvements over PR #5:

1. Agent available before SSH is connected
The chat agent greets users by name immediately on page load — before any server is connected. Users can ask questions, get help, and start onboarding through natural conversation from the very first second.

2. Connectivity probe BEFORE showing install command
Before showing the authorized_keys install command, the backend probes the target host:

• DNS resolution check
• TCP port reachability
• SSH banner verification (is it actually SSH?)

If the host is blocked/unreachable, the agent explains WHY and provides specific guidance — before the user wastes time running an install command that won't work.

Architecture (ADR-002)

Onboarding state machine:

[greeting] → [collect_target] → [probing] → 
  → [connectable] → [needs_install] → [confirm] → [active_session]
  → [dns_fail] → troubleshoot hostname
  → [port_fail] → troubleshoot firewall/VPN/port
  → [ssh_fail]  → troubleshoot service on port

New API Endpoints

• POST /api/v1/connections/probe — NEW — connectivity pre-check (DNS + TCP + SSH banner)
• GET /api/v1/auth/oauth/github/start — GitHub OAuth with PKCE
• GET /api/v1/auth/oauth/github/callback — auto-provision keypair on first login
• GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/keys/* — Ed25519 keypair management
• GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/connections/* — SSH connection CRUD + test
• POST /api/v1/sessions/bootstrap — chat-led onboarding (returns install command)
• POST /api/v1/sessions/bootstrap/:id/confirm — test SSH + start session

Why Cleaner Than PR #5

Aspect	PR #5 (feat/mobile-auth-overhaul)	PR #6 (this PR)
Branch base	main	main ✅
Commit count	25 mixed commits	8 clean logical commits ✅
Agent availability	After SSH connected	Immediately on load ✅
Connectivity check	After key install	Before install (probe step) ✅
Blocked-host UX	Generic SSH error	Specific guidance per failure type ✅
Channel lifecycle	Returns immediately (causes restart loop)	Awaits abortSignal ✅
DB schema	Custom tables	Compatible migration included ✅

Testing Evidence

All endpoints tested on clawdfather.ai (deployed to prod branch):

Test	Result
Login screen loads	✅ PASS
GitHub OAuth flow	✅ PASS (redirects, creates session, greets user by name)
Agent greets user before SSH	✅ PASS (chat available immediately)
Health check (/api/v1/health)	✅ PASS {status:ok,db:ok}
Auth/me returns account data	✅ PASS
Probe: connectable host	✅ PASS {status: connectable, latency_ms: 3}
Probe: DNS fail	✅ PASS {status: dns_fail}
Probe: port fail	✅ PASS {status: port_fail}
Bootstrap: needs_setup	✅ PASS (returns install_command + keypair)
Channel stability (no restart loop)	✅ PASS (1 start, no auto-restart)

Known Limitations / Follow-Ups

1. Probe timeout too long (8s) for poor connections — consider 5s with retry
2. SSH banner check may miss servers behind HAProxy or other TCP forwarders
3. Confirm flow (test SSH after key install) not end-to-end tested in this PR — requires a real server with the key installed
4. WebSocket session continuity on page reload needs testing
5. Mobile PWA install (add to home screen) not tested
6. Rate limiting on probe endpoint (30/hr) needs load testing
7. Session nickname UX ("call it dev-box") not wired to DB persistence yet
