Hands-on VM testing showed auto-apply skipped the app picker entirely -- the user
couldn't review/adjust apps before install. Land first-run on the Apps step instead
(pre-checked with the collector flavour's defaults); the user adjusts then walks
Apps -> Prefs -> Apply -> Done. The collector already owns account + flavour, so
Welcome/Flavour are skipped. Reverses the earlier auto-apply behavior per operator
feedback.
