Jinwoo Hong 80786ddccb fix(onboarding): build the agent step around skills, not CLI registration (#22720)
* fix(onboarding): build the agent step around skills, not CLI registration

The checklist step "Enable Orca CLI" was marked done once the agent skills
were installed, while Settings -> Browser still showed CLI registration as a
pending step. Orca terminals already put the bundled CLI on PATH, so
registration only matters for shells Orca did not launch, plus WSL, where
`orca-ide` exists only once registered.

- Rename the step to "Give agents Orca skills"; setup registers the CLI only
  for WSL (isOrcaCliRegistrationRequired), via onboarding-cli-registration.ts.
- Settings -> Browser drops the CLI step outside WSL (2 steps instead of 3).
- Skills panel: "All skills installed" + "Update skills" replaces the disabled
  button; status pills sit top-right; no "Installed" beside "Unavailable".
- Full Disk Access moves to the "Start work in multiple repos" step.

Fixes STA-8306 / #22524.

* refactor(onboarding): simplify agent-skill step state after review

- One done rule: isAgentCapabilitiesDone in feature-wall-setup-progress.ts,
  reused by the skills panel instead of a mirrored copy.
- 'unavailable' is an install-status tone instead of a second boolean;
  pill/note rendering moves to AgentCapabilityStatusBadges.tsx.
- "Update skills" skips Computer Use when it can't run (no warning toast);
  setup takes an explicit selection.
- The WSL gate lives in registerOnboardingCliIfRequired; onboarding deps drop
  the now-unreachable host CLI branches.
- BrowserUsePane: one cliRequired/cliReady pair, no host CLI status fetch,
  WSL-only enable path, single "Finish the steps below." string.
- Full Disk Access placement goes through a SelectedStepFooter switch.
- Prune orphaned locale keys (and their boot-bundle entries); fix a stale
  comment.

* fix(skills): require CLI registration only for WSL setup

* fix(skills): retain CLI install labels for WSL

* docs(skills): clarify remaining WSL registration fallback

* fix(skills): skip WSL registration when the host confirms managed CLI access

* fix(wsl): prepare managed shell wrappers before onboarding probes

* test: update daemon capability and terminal hook expectations

* refactor(onboarding): remove CLI registration checks from skill setup

* refactor(setup): remove redundant state and obsolete registration scaffolding

* fix(settings): stop registering the CLI before installing the CLI skill

The General > Orca CLI skill panel still registered `orca` on PATH before
opening the install terminal, contradicting the rest of skill setup. Orca
terminals already provide the CLI, so the shell command toggle now says it
is only for terminals outside Orca.

* style(onboarding): polish the setup checklist and first-run steps

Make onboarding monochrome: completion is a neutral check, selection a
neutral outline, and color only flags real problems. Tighten the checklist
rail and header, single-line agent cards with a grid that scrolls only when
it runs out of room, a labeled permission switch under the grid, calmer
notification and skill cards, sentence-case copy, and a labeled "Hide
checklist from sidebar" action. Workspace setup leads with "Add project"
when no git project exists.

* fix(emulator): drop the Enable Orca CLI step from agent control setup

Agents that drive the emulator run in Orca terminals, which already provide
the `orca` command. Agent control setup in the emulator card and Settings is
now a single step: install the Orca CLI skill.

* fix(onboarding): hide the Full Disk Access card once access is granted

A granted card has no remaining action and only takes space on the add
projects step. It also no longer flashes a "Checking" state before the
first status arrives.

* fix(onboarding): address review on permission warning, hide button, and translations

- Name the permission switch "Yolo mode" (matching Settings > Agents) and
  state the risk: agents act without asking and some bypass their sandbox.
- Hide the modal's "Hide checklist from sidebar" button below sm, where the
  header centers its title under it; the sidebar entry keeps its own control.
- Translate every string this PR adds into es, fr, ja, ko, and zh.
