User Impact: Users can create, discover, and import agents from one consistent Add agent dialog.

Problem: Agent creation, discovery, and import were split across a dropdown and separate dialogs, making the Add agent flow fragmented. The existing E2E suite also continued targeting the deleted dropdown after the flows were unified.

Solution: Route the new-agent card directly into a unified dialog with dedicated Create, catalog, and Import navigation, then update the affected E2E coverage to exercise that interface and its current empty state.

File changes

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/AgentDefinitionDialog.tsx
Supports rendering the agent definition form inside the unified Add agent experience while retaining the standalone dialog behavior.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/AgentDefinitionDialogShell.tsx
Adds the shared shell used to present agent-definition content consistently in embedded and standalone contexts.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/AgentDialog.tsx
Passes the revised dialog state and close behavior through the existing agent dialog entry point.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/AgentsView.tsx
Connects the Agents page to the unified Add agent dialog and opens newly added catalog agents in their profile panel.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/PersonaCatalogDialog.tsx
Combines catalog browsing, agent creation, and snapshot import behind persistent navigation, including dirty-navigation confirmation.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/UnifiedAgentsSection.tsx
Replaces the new-agent dropdown with a direct Add agent entry point and adjusts the responsive card grid.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/personaLibraryCopy.ts
Updates catalog-facing copy for the unified experience.

desktop/src/features/agents/ui/usePersonaActions.ts
Returns the resolved local persona after catalog activation so the caller can open the added agent.

desktop/tests/e2e/agent-readiness-screenshots.spec.ts
Opens the embedded create pane directly for readiness screenshots.

desktop/tests/e2e/agents.spec.ts
Covers unified Create, catalog, and Import navigation and asserts the current shared-agent empty state.

desktop/tests/e2e/global-agent-config-screenshots.spec.ts
Updates global configuration screenshot setup for direct create-pane entry.

desktop/tests/e2e/inline-custom-harness.spec.ts
Updates custom harness setup for the embedded create form.

desktop/tests/e2e/persona-env-vars.spec.ts
Updates environment-variable and model-provider scenarios for direct create-pane entry.

desktop/tests/e2e/persona-model-combobox-screenshots.spec.ts
Updates model combobox screenshot setup for direct create-pane entry.

desktop/tests/e2e/smoke.spec.ts
Updates agent-creation smoke coverage for the unified Add agent dialog.

desktop/tests/e2e/where-to-run-config.spec.ts
Updates provider-selection coverage for the embedded create form.

Reproduction steps

  1. Open the Agents page and select the new-agent card.
  2. Confirm the Add agent dialog opens directly on Create without an intermediate dropdown.
  3. Use the left navigation to browse shared agents and open Import.
  4. Select a catalog agent and confirm the dialog closes and the added agent's profile panel opens.
  5. Run the affected desktop Playwright smoke and integration specs and confirm all scenarios pass.

- Move the new-agent card to the first grid position and use fluid 160px minimum tracks across agent and team galleries.
- Replace the add-card action menu with a unified Add agent dialog for creating, importing, and selecting shared agents.
- Embed the existing create-agent form with aligned gradient footer actions and consistent Add agent copy.
- Add modal-wide snapshot drag-and-drop handling with the existing safe preview and confirmation pipeline.
- Prompt before discarding modified create-agent content when switching flows or closing the dialog.
