Teknium ffd2621039 feat(onboarding): port first-touch hints to the TUI (#16054)
PR #16046 added /busy and /verbose hints to the classic CLI and the
gateway runner but skipped the Ink TUI (and therefore the dashboard
/chat page, which embeds the TUI via PTY).  This extends the same
latch to the TUI with TUI-native wording.

The TUI's busy-input model is not the /busy knob from the CLI —
single Enter while busy auto-queues, double Enter on an empty line
interrupts.  The new busy-input hint teaches THAT gesture instead of
telling the user to flip a config that does not apply.

Changes:
- agent/onboarding.py — add busy_input_hint_tui() + tool_progress_hint_tui()
- tui_gateway/server.py — onboarding.claim JSON-RPC (Ink triggers busy
  hint on enqueue) + _maybe_emit_onboarding_hint helper hooked into
  _on_tool_complete for the 30s/tool_progress=all path.  Same
  config.yaml latch so each hint fires at most once per install across
  CLI, gateway, and TUI combined.
- ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts — OnboardingClaimResponse + onboarding.hint event
- ui-tui/src/app/createGatewayEventHandler.ts — render the hint event as sys()
- ui-tui/src/app/useSubmission.ts — claim busy_input_prompt on first
  busy enqueue
- tests/agent/test_onboarding.py — +3 cases for TUI hint shape
- tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py — +4 cases for onboarding.claim
- website/docs/user-guide/tui.md — new 'Interrupting and queueing'
  section explaining the TUI's double-Enter model and the hints

"""
Contextual first-touch onboarding hints.
Instead of blocking first-run questionnaires, show a one-time hint the *first*
time a user hits a behavior fork — message-while-running, first long-running
tool, etc. Each hint is shown once per install (tracked in ``config.yaml`` under
``onboarding.seen.<flag>``) and then never again.
Keep this module tiny and dependency-free so both the CLI and gateway can import
it without pulling in heavy modules.
