New edge cases considered:

  • Prioritise record hint for first action if first action has name, but no data samples.
  • Prioritise add action name hint for first action if first action does not have name or data samples.

Move hint visibility has been updated so that:

  • It wobbles again if user does not move micro:bit after first wobble.
  • It gets hidden if user does not move micro:bit 5s after second wobble.
  • It does not get reinstated after reconnecting within a session.
  • It gets hidden after deleting action(s)/recording.
  • It gets hidden after being connected in testing model page.
  • It gets hidden if an action name input field changes.

Fixes #803

Todo

  • Get feedback and approval re behaviour
  • Check longer text length for hints - See private paper doc

- Trigger new action-name-short hint for first unnamed action with no recordings
- Trigger hint for first action with no recordings. Also, tweak positioning of record action hint
and temporarily remove skipping of first 10 samples.
- reconnecting
- deleting action(s)/recording
- being connected in testing model page
- changing an action name
