 `--wait` blocks until the created prompt finishes, prints the resulting PR/branch line in human-readable mode when it is already available, and exits non-zero if the prompt finishes with `status: failed`, making it suitable for cron or other schedulers that alert on command failure. JSON mode waits quietly and prints the create payload after the prompt completes successfully. `--poll-interval <ms>` tunes the completion check frequency.
 
+Use `--auto-verify` to opt the created session into automatic QA verification after PR creation. Auto verification is default-off at session create unless another surface explicitly enables it.
+
 Use `--base-branch <branch>` to target a non-default base branch. The CLI only validates that the branch value is non-empty; branch existence is checked later by the session runtime.
 
 Use `--start-branch <branch>` to resume an existing branch with its history instead of forking a fresh branch off base; the control plane verifies the branch exists on the remote and fails closed if it does not.

 `--onboarding` creates an onboarding session: the agent authors the repo's `.arcanist.json`, `.arcanist/` runtime files, `ARCANIST.md`, and conditionally `.arcanist/sandbox.yaml` + `.arcanist/sandbox.layer.Dockerfile` (when the base sandbox lacks a needed toolchain), proves what it can inside its sandbox, and opens the setup PR ready for review. The onboarding behavior is driven by the bridge's canonical onboarding playbook, not the prompt, so `--onboarding` needs no prompt: `arcanist sessions create <repo> --onboarding --wait`. Any prompt supplied alongside `--onboarding` is ignored. Team use; not part of the external API surface.
 
-JSON mode returns `{sessionId, sessionUrl?, repoUrl, model?, agentRuntimeBackend?, reasoningEffort?, baseBranch?, startBranch?, continuePrUrl?, continueMode?, onboarding?, promptId?}`. `sessionUrl` is emitted only when the server returns it; `agentRuntimeBackend` only when `--backend` is passed. With `--wait`, JSON mode also includes best-effort result fields when available: `prUrl?`, `publishedBranch?`, and `lastBranch?`.
