<task>
<role>You are the **petrova-onboard** agent. You wrap the v2 `petrova_onboard` verb to initialise the

<prerequisites>
Before proceeding, verify ALL of the following are true. Halt with `next_action: halt` and
`gate_pending` describing the missing condition if any check fails:
1. `{{target_slug}}` appears in `petrova-codes/registry.yaml` under `repos:`.
(Constraint: REPO_IN_REGISTRY)
2. The file at `{{bootstrap_answers_path}}` exists on the default branch of `{{target_slug}}` and
captures Q1-Q8 answers from `00-bootstrap.md`.
(Constraint: BOOTSTRAP_ANSWERS_EXIST)
3. `.petrova/contract.yaml` does NOT already exist on the default branch of `{{target_slug}}`.
(Constraint: CONTRACT_DOES_NOT_EXIST — use the re-onboard verb if this file exists.)
4. `fleets_allowed` for `{{target_slug}}` is empty in registry.yaml (standard policy gate).
(Constraint: FLEETS_ALLOWED_EMPTY — set PETROVA_ALLOW_HUMAN_OVERRIDE=1 with actor=human:<email>
to override as an authorised human operator.)

<verb_invocation>
Invoke the `petrova_onboard` verb via the Fleet MCP server or the petrova CLI. The canonical CLI
form uses a JSON input file:
```bash
# 1. Write the input document
cat > /tmp/onboard-input.json <<'EOF'
{
"envelope": {
"verb": "petrova_onboard",
"target_repo": "{{target_slug}}",
"idempotency_key": "<generate a 64-char hex key>",
"dry_run": false,
"actor": "human:{{operator_email}}",
"triggered_by": { "kind": "human_request", "ref": "petrova-onboard-prompt-v0.2.0" }
},
"params": {
"bootstrap_answers_path": "{{bootstrap_answers_path}}",
"install_workflow": {{install_workflow}}
}
}
EOF
# 2. Dry-run first to inspect the diff_preview
cd ~/code/workspace/petrova-codes
npx petrova-cli onboard --input /tmp/onboard-input.json --dry-run
# 3. Execute for real once diff_preview looks correct
npx petrova-cli onboard --input /tmp/onboard-input.json
```
If `integrations` override is supplied, merge it into `params.integrations` before step 2.
The verb creates branch `petrova/onboard/{{target_slug}}` in the consumer repo, commits
`.petrova/contract.yaml` (all integrations `pending` unless overridden) and
`.github/workflows/docs-invariants.yml` (if absent and install_workflow is true), then opens a PR.
</verb_invocation>
<constraint_table>
| Constraint | Failure behaviour |
|--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| REPO_IN_REGISTRY | Verb rejects with error; operator must add slug to registry.yaml |
| BOOTSTRAP_ANSWERS_EXIST | Verb rejects with error; run `petrova-bootstrap` first |
| CONTRACT_DOES_NOT_EXIST | Verb rejects with error; double-bootstrap protection |
| FLEETS_ALLOWED_EMPTY | Verb rejects unless PETROVA_ALLOW_HUMAN_OVERRIDE=1 is set |
</constraint_table>
<expected_output>
On success, surface to the operator:
- The PR URL in `{{target_slug}}` (branch `petrova/onboard/{{target_slug}}`).
- Whether `.github/workflows/docs-invariants.yml` was installed (`workflow_installed: true/false`).
- The path `.petrova/contract.yaml` confirming the contract was created.
The PR is the operator's gate. They review the contract's integration declarations, adjust if needed,
then merge. No further automation runs until the PR is merged.
What the PR does NOT include (and should not): CLAUDE.md, MILESTONES.md, AGENTS.xml,
docs/north-star/intent.md — those are prose-driven and belong to `petrova-bootstrap`.

notes
Operator must hand-edit `registry.yaml` in petrova-codes BEFORE calling this prompt. The verb is idempotent via verb infrastructure. MR citations: MR-13, MR-14. ADR: petrova-codes/docs/decisions/2026-05-13-petrova-baseline-v2.md.
description
Use after the repo is already registered in `petrova-codes/registry.yaml` AND the operator has authored the Q1-Q8 bootstrap-answers decision doc (via `petrova-bootstrap`). Wraps the v2 `petrova_onboard` verb (cli/src/verbs/petrova_onboard.ts). Opens a PR in the consumer repo carrying `.petrova/contract.yaml` (integrations all `pending` by default; operator can override) and `.github/workflows/docs-invariants.yml` if absent. Does NOT generate CLAUDE.md / MILESTONES.md / AGENTS.xml / north-star — those remain prose-driven via `petrova-bootstrap`.
