feat(platform): Add instructions field to agent submissions (#10931)

## Summary Added an optional "Instructions" field for agent submissions to help users understand how to run agents and what to expect. <img width="1000" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/015c4f0b-4bdd-48df-af30-9e52ad283e8b" /> <img width="1000" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3242cee8-a4ad-4536-bc12-64b491a8ef68" /> <img width="1000" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a9b63e1c-94c0-41a4-a44f-b9f98e446793" /> ### Changes Made **Backend:** - Added `instructions` field to `AgentGraph` and `StoreListingVersion` database models - Updated `StoreSubmission`, `LibraryAgent`, and related Pydantic models - Modified store submission API routes to handle instructions parameter - Updated all database functions to properly save/retrieve instructions field - Added graceful handling for cases where database doesn't yet have the field **Frontend:** - Added instructions field to agent submission flow (PublishAgentModal) - Positioned below "Recommended Schedule" section as specified - Added instructions display in library/run flow (RunAgentModal) - Positioned above credentials section with informative blue styling - Added proper form validation with 2000 character limit - Updated all TypeScript types and API client interfaces ### Key Features - ✅ Optional field - fully backward compatible - ✅ Proper positioning in both submission and run flows - ✅ Character limit validation (2000 chars) - ✅ User-friendly display with "How to use this agent" styling - ✅ Only shows when instructions are provided ### Testing - Verified Pydantic model validation works correctly - Confirmed schema validation enforces character limits - Tested graceful handling of missing database fields - Code formatting and linting completed ## Test plan - [ ] Test agent submission with instructions field - [ ] Test agent submission without instructions (backward compatibility) - [ ] Verify instructions display correctly in run modal - [ ] Test character limit validation - [ ] Verify database migrations work properly 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
