[UX]: add a clearer first-run onboarding section to the dashboard #124

Description

Summary

After entering the dashboard, the next steps are not obvious enough for first-time users.

During onboarding, the critical path is usually:

  1. understand where to start
  2. get API URL
  3. create/copy API key
  4. connect a tool
  5. verify memory works

Right now, this path feels too implicit.

Suggested improvement

Add a clear first-run Get started / onboarding section on the dashboard home page.

Suggested steps:

  • Copy API URL
  • Create API key
  • Connect your tool
  • Test memory
  • Try Git for Memory

Why this matters

  • Reduces first-run confusion
  • Shortens time-to-first-success
  • Makes the dashboard feel action-oriented instead of exploratory-only

Expected behavior

A new user should be able to enter the dashboard and understand the next 3-5 steps within seconds, without hunting across multiple pages.
