Description
Problem to solve
Following the design updates in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/7061, the user can still run into the error[1] we show when they try to continue with a provider they haven't added in /integrations when opening a repository.
Proposal
Following the design updates in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/7061, let's nudge users to continue with the most recent provider they previously used to create an account.
This can be probably achieved using browser local storage which stores all existing connections with providers in /integrations. Cc @AlexTugarev because of a previous discussion on this topic and https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/4696#issuecomment-874496797.
The footnote below the perimary action button could be always visible or only when selected option is a provider not in the stored list in local storage.

Research direction
Start by reading issue 7061 and the login flow that handles provider selection, then inspect how /integrations connections are represented and stored in browser local storage. Done means users are nudged toward the most recent provider they used when they select a provider they have not added, matching the linked design.
