fix(dashboard): open agent connector dropdown at top level fixes NV-7829

[LetItRock]

Summary

When creating an agent, the "Where do you want your agent?" dropdown opened directly on the integrations sub-view (credentials / existing integrations) for the currently selected managed connector. Users only saw options like "Setup Anthropic credentials" and the demo credential—not the full connector list (Claude Managed, AWS Claude Managed, custom code, etc.).

This change opens the dropdown at the top-level connectors view so all runtime options are visible on first open. Selecting a managed connector still navigates into the integrations sub-view as before.

Root cause

ConnectorIntegrationDropdown defaulted to integrations view whenever the selected connector had a providerId, including on every popover open.

Test plan

• Open Agents → Add agent
• Click Where do you want your agent?
• Confirm External connectors lists Claude Managed Agent, AWS Claude Managed Agent, coming-soon options, and Custom code
• Select AWS Claude Managed Agent → confirm integrations sub-view still works
• Use back arrow → confirm connector list returns

Linear Issue: NV-7829

  

What changed

The ConnectorIntegrationDropdown component was modified to open at the top-level connectors view instead of defaulting to the integrations sub-view. The component now initializes its view state to 'connectors' and unconditionally resets to this state when the popover opens, rather than selecting based on whether the selected connector has a providerId. This ensures users see the complete list of connector options (Claude Managed, AWS Claude Managed, custom code, etc.) on first open.

Affected areas

• dashboard: Modified the connector integration dropdown component to fix the initial view state and ensure the popover always opens at the top-level connectors list.

Testing

Manual testing is outlined in the PR description (open agents, verify connector list visibility, confirm navigation between views works correctly). No automated tests were added to this change.
