First-time 6-digit create path looks like an error (Join then Start a new room) #1053
Description
Reproduce
Two fresh FlyBot homes on main b9a66e1 (SelfA1025 :3090 / SelfB1025 :3091 → https://47-80-69-220.sslip.io):
- On A, open + → Join or create by number or link (title promises both join and create).
- Pick Chief, enter a fresh 6-digit code unused by anyone nearby (e.g.
582914). - Click the primary button Join.
Expected
First entrant can create the room in one clear step, or Join/Create wording matches the two-step flow (no "error-shaped" waiting copy if create is intended).
Actual
- Primary button always says Join even when the dialog title is "Join or create…".
- After Join on a fresh code: copy like "Nobody is waiting under 582914…" then the user must click "Start a new room".
- First create looks like a failed join / empty search rather than a happy path.

Suggested scope
Needs a product decision before implementation:
- One-step Create — if no one is under the code, primary action creates immediately (button may become "Create room" when the code is free), or
- Keep Join-then-Start — but retitle/reword so it does not read as an error (e.g. "No one here yet — start the room?" with a positive primary).
Please pick (1) or (2) in a comment; then this can flip to agent-ready.

Owner decision (recorded by Birfy): Prefer one clear primary path for a fresh number.
When nobody is waiting under the code, the primary action should be Start a new room (or Join should create when empty) — not an error-looking “Nobody is waiting” screen as the main path. Keep the informative copy if useful, but don’t make first create feel like a failure.
i18n: English + Chinese.

Owner decision (2026-10-25): one clear create path — when nobody is waiting, "Start" should be the primary action rather than Join-then-error. Confirmed on reverify2 with code 846271: first-time 6-digit create still reads as an error. Reopening; claimed by Birfy.
