Rewrite UI API clients from /api/v2/releases to /api/v1/release-orchestrator

Completes Sprint 323 TASK-001 using Option C (direct URL rewrite):
- release-management.client.ts: readBaseUrl and legacyBaseUrl now use
  /api/v1/release-orchestrator/releases, eliminating the v2 proxy dependency
- All 15+ component files updated: activity, approvals, runs, versions,
  bundle-organizer, sidebar queries, topology pages
- Spec files updated to match new URL patterns
- Added /releases/activity and /releases/versions backend route aliases
  in ReleaseEndpoints.cs with ListActivity and ListVersions handlers
- Fixed orphaned audit-log-dashboard.component import → audit-log-table
- Both Angular build and JobEngine build pass clean

 ## Decisions & Risks
 - TASK-001 was resolved by validating existing proxy rewrites rather than introducing more Console changes late in the sprint.

 ## Decisions & Risks
 - **Decision**: All educational content should be written for a developer audience (not security experts). Use analogies and practical examples.
@@ -1228,9 +1235,13 @@ Completion criteria:
 - **Decision**: First-visit detection should use user preferences API, not local storage, so it works across devices.
 - **Decision**: Stella Helper (Clippy) is the PRIMARY onboarding vehicle. All other tasks (empty states, glossary, status bar, etc.) are complementary — they make each page self-documenting, while the helper provides proactive guidance.
 - **Decision**: Deep contextual tips (T0b) should use a service + signal pattern so any component can push context to the helper. This avoids tight coupling while allowing rich state-awareness.
+- **Decision**: T8 now tracks the current Integrations hub implementation in `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/features/integration-hub/integration-hub.component.ts`, not the older audit screenshots. Operator-facing behavior is documented in `docs/UI_GUIDE.md`.
+- **Decision**: Page-owned helper scopes now replace ad-hoc global pushes for onboarding state. Components publish a scoped context set and clear it on destroy so helper tips stay route-correct even when tabs and query params change within the same shell.
 - **Risk**: Content volume is large (30+ pages, 80+ tabs, 250+ tips). Mitigate by: writing all content in the tips config first (data layer), then implementing features in phases.
 - **Risk**: Glossary tooltip system (T4) needs careful UX — too many tooltips = visual noise. Only annotate first occurrence per page.
 - **Risk**: Helper context service (T0b) could create performance overhead if too many components push signals. Use debounce and single-signal-per-page pattern.
+- **Risk**: Focused frontend verification is currently blocked by unrelated compile failures in other feature suites. The new T8 spec is in place, but `ng test` cannot complete until those pre-existing errors are repaired.
+- **Risk**: T3 is still partial. Deployments, supply-chain data, unknowns, policy audit, readiness, and agent-fleet empty states are now reconciled, but remaining generic tables and lower-traffic audit surfaces still need follow-up before the sprint can close.
