docs: align Station coding-agent path with installer

[miyoungc]

Summary

Align the DGX Station coding-agent instructions with the versioned installer. The ordinary Station Express path now remains authoritative for its Nemotron Ultra default, while DeepSeek remains available only through the installer’s explicit --station-deepseek override.

Changes

• #7061 -> docs/resources/prompt-assets/dgx-station.md: Replace the DeepSeek-only provider-preseeded path with the installer’s Ultra-default and DeepSeek-override contract.
• Delegate Station qualification, host preparation, third-party notice, Express summary, and reboot or login resume to the selected maintained release’s installer.
• Stop the coding-agent path from pre-setting provider, model, non-interactive, approval, or Express-skip variables, and stop it from running the Station preparation helper separately.
• Preserve Ultra’s approximately 352 GB disclosure, shared Station host-safety boundaries, the temporary metadata override guard, and Deferred support status.
• Pin every starter-prompt platform asset URL to the immutable asset commit and update its SHA-256 contract.
• Update focused tests to require both installer-supported Station model outcomes and reject the former DeepSeek-only path.

Type of Change

• Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
• Code change with doc updates
• Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
• Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

• Tests added or updated for changed behavior
• Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
• Tests not applicable — justification:
• Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
• Docs not applicable — justification:
• Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
• Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification:
• Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

• Tested on DGX Station
• Tested commit: Not applicable; this PR does not change scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh or runtime behavior.
• Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
• Result: Not applicable.
• Supporting evidence: Installer behavior is covered by the focused automated Express tests below.

Verification

• PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
• Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run check:diff passed when hooks were skipped or unavailable
• Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — npx vitest run test/starter-prompt-docs.test.ts test/install-express-prompt.test.ts (88 passed, 1 skipped)
• Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not run; this is a focused documentation contract change.
• Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
• No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
• npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only) — passed with 0 errors and 1 Fern warning
• Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
• New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DGX Station documentation now uses the Station Express installer flow, with updated model selection, consent, interactive prompt, and preparation rules. Starter-prompt asset pins and contract tests are updated to validate the new content and behavior.

Changes

DGX Station Express flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Station Express instructions docs/resources/prompt-assets/dgx-station.md	Replaces the prepared-host DeepSeek instructions with installer-driven Express model selection, consent, secure terminal, confirmation, and resume rules.
Starter-prompt wiring docs/resources/starter-prompt.md	Updates platform asset revisions and adds DGX Station exceptions for visible installer prompts and installer-managed consent.
Pinned asset and contract validation test/starter-prompt-docs.test.ts	Repins remote assets and updates Station content, ordering, model-selection, and absence assertions.
