[chore] Retire legacy Agenta 1.0 onboarding

[mmabrouk]

Context

The playground-native agent onboarding merged in #5076 replaces the pre-pivot onboarding. Several old surfaces were still live or mounted: the /get-started three-option page, the home WelcomeCards banner, a floating checklist widget, a guided-tour engine, and a sidebar "Get Started Guide" item. New users were still routed through /get-started.

Changes

Removed outright (the pivot makes them dead):

• The /get-started three-option page (OSS and EE) and its views.
• The home WelcomeCards banner and the now-orphaned old app-management home page (nothing imports it; /apps renders agent-home).
• The EE demo-applications section.

Parked behind kill switches, code kept for possible reuse:

• Sidebar "Get Started Guide" item hidden behind a constant.
• The onboarding checklist widget is no longer mounted, and its new-user auto-open is disabled.
• The nextstepjs guided-tour engine is gated behind ONBOARDING_TOURS_ENABLED (false), with the provider loaded via next/dynamic so the disabled path never runs tour logic.

New users now route straight to the resolved post-login path (/apps) instead of /get-started.

Scope / risk

Frontend only. The parked widget and tour code stay in the tree. Flip the constants to revive them.

Merge order: merge the survey PR #5085 (feat/onboarding-survey-v2) BEFORE this one. This PR deletes the /get-started route, and #5085 is what stops the post-signup flow from redirecting there. Merging this first would briefly point post-signup redirects at a deleted route on big-agents.

Follow-up (not blocking): because the tour hook is in the _app import chain, nextstepjs is still bundled (never executed) while tours are off. Fully excluding it from the bundle is a small later refactor.

Tests / notes

• pnpm lint-fix green; types:check shows no new errors.
• Verified the dev web compiles and serves. Playground still works with the tour glue turned into a no-op.

How to QA

Prerequisites: EE dev stack.

Steps:

1. Sign up or sign in as a new user.
2. Observe the landing page and the sidebar.

Expected result: You land on /apps (agent-home), not /get-started. No welcome banner, no floating checklist, no "Get Started Guide" sidebar item. The playground opens normally.

Edge cases: Existing users with onboarding localStorage keys should see no errors. The tour provider must render its children unchanged when disabled.

Automated tests: None specific. Verified via lint, types, and a manual dev-stack check.
