## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents reach other products through connections, which people create
in the connector setup wizard
> - That wizard shows a stepper: a row of dots, a label under each, and
"Step 1 of 2" in the header
> - When a curated OAuth app hands off to the provider, a waiting screen
replaces the wizard while Paperclip prepares sign-in
> - That waiting screen drew its own stepper with three hardcoded
labels, so the stepper grew a dot at the exact moment the person pressed
Connect
> - A stepper that grows mid-flow tells the person they missed a screen
> - This pull request makes the waiting screen show the step model of
the flow that opened it
> - The benefit is that the stepper keeps the same shape from the first
screen to the handoff
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The connector setup wizard shows a two-step stepper for a curated OAuth
app: two dots, labelled "Access" and "Sign in", with "Step 1 of 2" and
then "Step 2 of 2" in the header. When you press Connect, a third dot
appears, labelled "Ready".
The extra dot comes from the OAuth waiting screen.
`OAuthConnectStateScreen` rendered its own header with
`labels={["Access", "Sign in", "Ready"]}`, a constant that did not
depend on the wizard that opened it.
"Ready" is also not a step the wizard can reach. The success screen
hides the step header, so no one ever sees a third step become active.
**Expected behavior**
The stepper keeps the same number of steps from the first screen through
the provider handoff. Waiting for browser sign-in is part of the last
step, not a step of its own.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open **Apps → Connect** and pick a curated app that signs in through
OAuth, for example Notion.
2. Look at the stepper. It shows two dots and reads "Step 1 of 2".
3. Complete the Access step and press the button that starts sign-in.
4. Look at the stepper on the "Preparing secure sign-in" screen. Before
this change it shows three dots and adds a "Ready" label.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`45586170e` on `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Additional context**
The reporter suggested removing the stepper, on the condition that no
connector flow has three or more steps. One does.
`ConnectionSetupFlow.tsx` keeps `STEP_LABELS = ["Pick app", "Access",
"Add your key"]` for the generic path, which a person walks when they
paste an MCP endpoint instead of choosing a curated app. The two-step
counts apply only after an app is selected. The condition fails, so this
pull request keeps the stepper and repairs the phantom step alone.
## What Changed
- `OAuthConnectStateScreen` takes a `steps` prop: the labels and active
index of the flow that opened it.
- The curated OAuth path passes its own two-step model, so the count
does not change at the handoff.
- The generic pasted-endpoint path passes the three-step model it was
already walking, so its count does not change either.
- The default for hosts without a wizard of their own, such as the
paste-a-config tab, is `["Access", "Sign in"]`. The invented "Ready"
step is gone.
- `AppsConnect.test.tsx` gains a test that reads the stepper before and
after the handoff and fails if the two differ.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx
ui/src/features/connections ui/src/pages/tools/PasteConfigTab.test.tsx`
— 185 tests pass.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/generic-mcp-connect.test.ts` — 27
tests pass.
- `npx tsc -b ui` — clean.
- The new test fails on the previous code. With the old three-label
constant restored it reports `["Access", "Sign in", "Ready"]` where it
expects two labels.
## Risks
Low. The change is limited to which labels the waiting screen draws. No
connection logic, no network call, and no navigation changes.
