 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.
 
-Use `--continue-pr <url>` to continue an open same-repo pull request. The control plane checks out the PR head branch before the prompt runs. `--continue-mode update-pr` updates the referenced PR; `--continue-mode new-pr` starts from that PR head but leaves publish free to open a fresh PR. `auto` is the default and currently resolves to same-PR update for supported open same-repo PRs.

 `--idempotency-key <uuid>` is for manually retrying a create request that may have reached the server.
 The CLI derives separate session and prompt idempotency keys from the provided value.
 
-`--onboarding` creates an onboarding session: the agent authors the repo's `.arcanist.json` (`appRuntime` runtime contract plus optional legacy `verify` metadata), a root `REVIEW.md` with repo-specific review checks (skipped only when the repo yields none), `.arcanist/` runtime files as needed, and `ARCANIST.md` only when the repo has no usable project doc, proves what it can inside its sandbox, and opens the setup PR ready for review. Zeus discovers and observes review commands itself; the live server-side `repo_review_config.verify_config_json` surface supplies test-coverage lens overrides. 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.
