Description
Problem
The Windows Hub setup experience can still lead users to terminal-only steps for chat-channel configuration and other Gateway configuration. The product should complete the step in-app when possible, or provide an explicit guided handoff rather than leaving a user or agent to infer commands.
Desired outcome
A first-time user can understand every remaining terminal requirement, perform it safely, and return to a verified ready state.
Definition of done
- Inventory first-run and channel-setup paths that require terminal input.
- Add a guided in-app path, or a terminal handoff containing the exact command, why it is needed, expected result, and return-to-app verification.
- Distinguish
Gateway connectedfromready for mobile/channel usein the completion state. - Add functional/UI coverage for the handoff and return path.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the Windows Hub first-run and channel-setup paths that currently require terminal input, then inspect the completion state that reports Gateway connectivity. Add a guided in-app flow or an explicit terminal handoff with the command, purpose, expected result, and return verification; done includes distinguishing Gateway connected from channel-ready and adding functional/UI coverage for both paths.
