Agent ETA v0.9.0 — First-run dashboard commands that work from any directory

Agent ETA v0.9.0 fixes the first-run dashboard instructions for installed packages. The empty page now generates a wrapper template using the running server's actual database and absolute executable/CLI paths, so users can start from another working directory instead of relying on a checkout-relative command.

• Show the local database and a copyable POSIX-shell or PowerShell command template. Replace the trailing COMMAND with real work; copying executes nothing.
• Escape paths with spaces and apostrophes, retain clipboard fallback feedback, and hide setup instructions when a run is selected or the server disconnects.
• Keep the existing local-origin/host/cross-site/GET-only guard around setup metadata. No URL parameter selects the local file. Disabled and in-memory trackers offer no persistent-store command.
• Preserve the default estimator, forecast semantics and existing CLI/SDK compatibility.

Validation: 288 local tests passed; clean-package CLI/SDK/wrapper/HTTP checks passed. Browser acceptance checked the empty page, matching clipboard content, shell switching, a 390 px layout without horizontal overflow, cold start, pause and disconnection. Public Linux/Windows × Node 22/24 CI passed on the release commit.

The current Codex task also used the published v0.8.0 wrapper for the actual project test process: 18.305 seconds, successful exit, four real-clock cold-start receipts, zero numeric forecasts. This is one controlled process-boundary integration case, not a native vendor hook, independent user study or accuracy holdout. The desktop build was not obtained. Private databases, raw session logs and screenshots containing local paths are not published.

The release remains experimental. Real numeric accuracy and broader host compatibility remain unproven; no model is promoted.
