Omar SobhandClaude Opus 4.8 838a0ba334 feat(onboard): distributable "APESS Onboard" App Lab app + packaging
Close the last onboarding gap: one shareable App Lab app a student imports
and Runs, no adb / no host install.

- package-onboard-app.sh: assemble a self-contained bundle — ZeroClaw binary
  (matrix_text + i2c_scan), single-agent config, skills, responder sketch, and
  the BAKED cloud token. Ships without .secret_key (each board mints its own)
  or a team Telegram token; dist/ is gitignored.
- onboard-app/config.toml: the canonical packaged config (proven anthropic.max
  single 'default' agent, matrix + i2c_scan allowlisted, Telegram-ready,
  secrets stripped).
- ONBOARDING.md: the full flow — instructor packages once, student imports +
  Runs, then the wizard. Notes APESS_URL (mDNS/per-team) + LAN reachability.

Validated on-hardware: a freshly-imported bundle mints its key, boots the
cloud agent, and runs the matrix + i2c_scan prompts in-container.

# APESS onboarding — fully containerized
A team needs two things running: the **APESS stack on their laptop** and the
**ZeroClaw node on their Uno Q**. Both are containers. Nothing installs to a host.
```
LAPTOP: docker compose up → apess-api + apess-web (deploy/lan)
BOARD : App Lab → Run → ONE container = daemon + relay + responder
```
Everything a team does — say-hi, the module chat, Refine, Telegram, the LED
matrix, the I2C scan — runs through this. The board never needs the Zephyr flash
toolchain or Linux `/dev/i2c`: the matrix is driven by a resident responder and
I2C is scanned on the MCU (Wire), both over the RouterBridge relay.
## 1. Instructor — build the distributable app (once)
Bake the cloud token + all assets into a shareable App Lab app:
```sh
export ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN=sk-ant-oat01-… # baked into the bundle
./deploy/uno-q/package-onboard-app.sh # → deploy/uno-q/dist/apess-onboard
```
The bundle contains: the ZeroClaw binary (matrix_text + i2c_scan), the
single-`default`-agent config (matrix + i2c_scan allowlisted, Telegram-ready),
the skills, the responder sketch, and the baked token. It ships **without** a
`.secret_key` (each board mints its own on first Run) and **without** any team's
Telegram token. The `dist/` output is gitignored (it holds the token).
Import it once to smoke-test, or share it to students:
```sh
arduino-app-cli app new --from-app deploy/uno-q/dist/apess-onboard # instructor test
# then in App Lab: open the app → Share → QR
```
## 2. Student — bring up their board (fresh OR pre-existing)
1. Open **App Lab** on the Uno Q (it ships with the board).
2. **Import** the "APESS Onboard" app (scan the QR).
3. Click **Run**. The node comes up in one container: it flashes the resident
responder, launches the cloud agent, mints its `.secret_key`, self-registers
to the team's APESS laptop, and scrolls a **claim code** on the LED matrix.
Fresh or pre-existing board is identical — Run is idempotent; it just (re)starts
the node.
## 3. Student — the wizard (laptop)
- Open `http://<laptop>/`**Start the workshop**.
- **Phase 1:** team name + members → type the **claim code** the matrix is
scrolling → board bound (state persists in `localStorage`; a Disconnect button
is the only thing that drops it).
- Say hi to the agent, optionally set up **Telegram** (writes the token to the
node and reloads it), toggle **Voice**.
- **Phase 2:** open the node, name the domain. Then the modules.
## `APESS_URL` — how the board finds the laptop
The board self-registers to `APESS_URL` (default `http://apess-api.local:3000`).
Options, easiest first:
- **mDNS:** have the `deploy/lan` box advertise `apess-api.local` (zero-config
for students).
- **Per-team:** set `APESS_URL` in the app's `.zeroclaw/apess-node.env`, or pass
`APESS_URL=http://<laptop-ip>:3000` when packaging.
## Reachability
The laptop's API must reach the board over the workshop WiFi. Verify the AP
allows **client-to-client** traffic (many guest networks isolate clients). See
`deploy/lan/README.md`.
