ScreenTinker 68dd1b3e05 Tell people what to do next, from what the account actually contains
A user reported not knowing how to get content onto a screen. There was already
onboarding — a modal wizard — but it is gated on a localStorage flag: skip it
once and it never comes back, and it never knew whether you succeeded at
anything. Someone who closed it was left with no thread to pull, which is
exactly what was described.

A second tour would repeat that mistake. Tours are dismissed and forgotten, and
they describe the product rather than the account. This is a checklist on the
dashboard that reads real state, so it cannot claim you have done something you
have not, it is still there tomorrow, and it names the one thing to do next
rather than everything the product can do.

The steps are the shortest true path to a screen showing something: connect a
screen, add content, put it in a playlist, send it to the screen. Only the last
one cannot be satisfied by creating an object and walking away — a screen has to
actually be pointed at something — so an account full of playlists with nothing
playing is correctly reported as unfinished, which is the failure that was
reported. Steps stay in dependency order, so nobody is sent to a page they
cannot use yet.

It disappears on its own once the first screen is live and can be hidden before
then, so it never nags someone who already knows the product. Once hidden or
finished it costs no extra request at all.
