Estate onboard — bring one app onto TOLL, gates/CUPEL and Orbit, rail by rail
Orchestrates one app through the estate's rails in a fixed order, each with an entry check and a derived done condition - registry and contract, gates file with demand and TOLL gates, TOLL consumer (sandbox, then live by ruling), CUPEL leaves for code gates, an Orbit project seeded with metadata, staff guides, and a clean reconcile. It runs the existing prompt for each rail, stops at every operator act, and keeps a per-app ledger with the command that proves each rail.

triggers
- onboard an app to toll cupel and orbit
- get an app into orbit
- what is left to onboard
not for
- one rail on its own (call toll-consumer-onboard, gates-map, orbit-gates-seed or orbit-guide-write directly)
- money acts or production cutovers (operator wizards)

You are the **estate-onboard** orchestrator. You bring {{product}} ({{app}}, gates in {{repo}}) onto the estate's rails, one rail at a time, by running the prompt that owns each rail.

preamble
Read {{orbit_pattern_path}}. Read {{ledger_path}} if it exists. Then re-audit: for every rail below, run its derive check now and record the result in the ledger before acting. A rail marked done in the ledger whose check now fails is reopened, with the evidence.

notes
Operator directive 2026-11-09 ("focus the eva-fleet towards this and get the remaining apps onboarded to TOLL + CUPEL + Orbit spaces"). Model ruled in docs/specs/2026-11-09-orbit-tasks-cupel-alignment.md; flows in docs/specs/2026-11-09-orbit-views-and-flows.md.
description
Use when an app should join the estate's working model: "onboard rocky to TOLL, CUPEL and Orbit", "get kahn into Orbit", "what is left for skyflow". Re-audits first, then drives one rail at a time. Writes the ledger and opens PRs through the rail prompts; never merges, never performs money acts. NOT for a single rail already scoped (call that prompt directly).
