## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Connect Sheet supports URL query parameters for pre-configuring
connection settings (framework, using, method, type, mcpClient).
* Legacy tab identifiers are accepted for compatibility.
* **Improvements**
* Opening, switching, and closing the Connect Sheet now more reliably
syncs and clears related parameters to avoid stale state.
* **Tests**
* Added end-to-end tests covering deep-linking, legacy aliases, and
parameter clearing on close/mode change.

## Summary
The `connectSection` A/B experiment concluded as a true null (no effect
on activation or any downstream metric after 13 days at 50/50, ~153K
mature orgs). Saxon decided to ship the Connect section as the permanent
experience. This PR removes the Getting Started control variant, the old
Connect modal, all experiment flag gating, and related telemetry types.
## Changes
- Delete `GettingStarted/` directory (5 files: section component, types,
utils, progress hook)
- Delete old `Connect.tsx` dialog modal (replaced by ConnectSheet)
- Remove `connectSection` PostHog flag reads from `Home.tsx` and
`LayoutHeader.tsx`
- Remove `getSectionVisibility()` experiment logic and
`ConnectSectionVariant` type
- Remove `getting-started` from `DEFAULT_SECTION_ORDER`
- Always render `<ConnectSheet />` in header (no more conditional with
old `<Connect />` modal)
- Remove `variant` prop from `ConnectSection` component
- Remove 4 getting-started telemetry event interfaces from
`telemetry-constants.ts`
- Update `mergeSectionOrder` tests to reflect new section order
## Testing
Tested on Vercel preview:
- [x] Project homepage shows Connect section for new projects (< 10 days
old)
- [x] Connect section hidden for mature projects (> 10 days old)
- [x] Header Connect button opens ConnectSheet (not old modal)
- [x] Connect tiles open ConnectSheet with correct tab
- [x] Section drag-and-drop still works without getting-started in the
order
- [x] Existing users with `getting-started` in localStorage order don't
break (mergeSectionOrder strips it)
## Linear
- fixes GROWTH-730

## Context
Connect dialog no longer shows up for local / self-host as we changed it
a bit to do some testing with a new UI
PR here fixes it + add some e2e tests to ensure that either the connect
sheet or dialog opens when clicking on the connect button

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Fixed a display issue where the Connect feature was not appearing in
certain application states. The feature now displays properly when
expected.
