feature: Closable welcome message

[zhangtony239]

Context

Make Roo's welcome message can be turned off, not only to get a cleaner interface, but also to provide enough space for more possibilities for the future homepage.

Also, the interface category of this setting provides a suitable location for subsequent interface component switches.

I18n warning

I executed i18n entirely using Roo's translation mode, and my personal language skills are not sufficient for manual proofreading, so please assist in checking!

How to Test

• Run this code
• Find Interface in settings and uncheck Show greeting message.
• Save, done, back to Roo home page
• You'll notice that the Title is gone, as shown in the screenshots above.

By the way

I wanted to mention that the settings.md currently located in cline_docs is really a bit skimpy. It took me a whole day of debugging with Gemini-2.5-pro-exp on Roo to familiarize myself with the roo project structure by this pr. Or maybe it's just because I'm still learning TypeScript foundation …

Looks good to me! I see it's still in draft - is it ready to be merged? Thank you for the contribution.

@zhangtony239 @mrubens should we use state in webview-ui/src/utils/vscode.ts for reduce provider state, this state is webview state and it's persistent too

and using this state, we can reduce the code change ?

I agree we should think more about our state management and how it's gotten to be so complicated / whether we should do things differently, but I don't think we should try to address that in this PR.

Wow, really? I think there is a test action did not pass well, a little afraid to pr.
