Problem

The onboarding flow still exists in the app and redirects first-run users before the main UI.

For a single-user self-hosted app, this is unnecessary complexity. Defaults should let the app open directly, and settings should handle later customization.

Solution

Remove /onboarding and the onboarding wizard.
Remove the dashboard redirect that blocks users until onboarding is complete.
Remove /api/onboarding/complete.
Stop using users.onboarding_completed in runtime flow; leave a migration cleanup for a later schema-compaction pass if needed.
Move any still-useful defaults to normal settings defaults.

Acceptance criteria

Initial page load opens the main app directly.
No route, button, seed copy, or status message points users to onboarding.
Settings remain the only place for provider, NLP, geocoding, and preference configuration.
