Agent role cards always auto-sent a hardcoded "Take a look at the current
document" on pick. Make it configurable per role:
- autoStart (bool, default true): whether picking the role auto-sends a message.
- launchMessage (nullable text): the text sent on auto-start; empty -> the
built-in default. autoStart=false -> bind the role and send nothing (the user
types the first message, which still carries the roleId).
Existing roles default to autoStart=true / launchMessage=null => identical old
behavior.
Full-stack:
- migration 20260624T120000 adds `auto_start boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT true` +
`launch_message text` (additive; down drops both); db.d.ts updated by hand.
- DTO: autoStart (@IsBoolean) + launchMessage (trim @Transform, @MaxLength 2000).
- repo/service: thread + normalize (undefined=unchanged, ""=>null, autoStart??true).
Both fields exposed in the picker-view for ordinary members (they decide
whether/what to auto-send); instructions/modelConfig stay ADMIN-ONLY.
- client: IAiRole types, role form (Switch + Textarea, re-hydrated on edit),
handleRolePick branches on autoStart; i18n en-US + ru-RU.
Review follow-ups folded in: reset the `rolePickedNoSend` flag when the thread
returns to an empty role-less state (the "New chat after autoStart=false pick"
stuck-UI bug — render-phase one-shot reset); made create/update launchMessage
normalization symmetric (raw value, server normalizes ""→null).
Server: 68 role tests pass, tsc clean. Client: tsc clean, role tests pass.
