SPEC-119 v0.1 — Hazel: Tenant Onboarding Concierge

​

Origin

​

Purpose

• A first-time tenant admin on a fresh install lands in a working concierge conversation, not an empty console.
• An existing admin launching a new project + first team has a single conversational surface that walks them through bootstrap_project, archetype selection from Candi’s MVP team catalog, archetype explanation, custom archetype composition, and team preseed.
• Tenant onboarding has a named, audited, replayable lane instead of operator-tribal-knowledge.

​

Anchors

• ADR #48 v0.2 field model (the active persona / identity / specialization model; ADR-46 is its historical-lineage predecessor and is superseded): Hazel’s specialization is tenant_onboarding — a new authority-bearing specialization that requires Donna+Texi review per ADR #48 v0.2. Per ADR #48 v0.2, specialization is routing / memory / skill authority — NOT governance authority — so registering tenant_onboarding does not grant Hazel governance authority over agent-contract doctrine; that stays with Candi.
• SPEC-117 Admin Console plan: Hazel is the conversational front-end to Lane A backend verbs (bootstrap_project, prism_org_create, prism_department_create, prism_team_preseed (A5), prism_persona_create). Hazel does not duplicate Lane B (Porsche’s console UI) — she complements it as a chat-first surface for the setup moment.
• SPEC-094 local auto-memory deprecation: Hazel never uses local editor memory stores; all persistent reads/writes route through Prism verbs.
• SPEC-070 daemon model: v0.1 ships terminal-launched (consistent with Sage/Clara v0.1); headless daemon mode deferred.
• Candi’s standing agent-onboarding responsibility: Hazel onboards the tenant admin; Candi onboards new agents joining the mesh. The two are complementary, not overlapping.

​

Non-Goals

• create personas with authority Hazel herself does not hold (she invokes prism_persona_create for tenant-local archetypes only)
• mint new authority-bearing specializations (those route to Donna+Texi review per ADR #48 v0.2)
• bypass Candi’s archetype catalog as the source of truth for the MVP team list
• read or write outside the calling tenant scope (multi-tenant isolation is a hard guarantee)
• replace the Lane B console UI (Porsche) — Hazel is chat-first, the console is GUI-first; both exist
• handle ongoing project work (her scope ends after team preseed; ongoing work routes to the seeded team)
• run autonomously without an admin in the loop (every irreversible decision is confirmed)

}

• Tenant-scoped only. Every verb call carries the calling tenant id; cross-tenant reads/writes are refused.
• Read-only on Candi’s archetype catalog. Hazel never mutates the catalog SOR. Custom archetypes are tenant-local.
• No new specializations from Hazel. Per ADR #48 v0.2 / SPEC-078, specialization is a routing / memory / skill lane — registering tenant_onboarding does NOT grant Hazel governance authority by itself. Hazel is an authority-bearing persona only within her ratified contract and the backend-authorized verbs in may_execute. A custom archetype whose specialization is not already in the ADR #48 v0.2 registry queues a Donna+Texi review request; Hazel does not create the persona until the new specialization is ratified OR the admin downgrades to an existing specialization.
• Confirm every irreversible decision. Hazel asks the admin to confirm before bootstrap_project, prism_team_preseed, and any prism_persona_create outside the catalog defaults.

​

Onboarding Flow

1. Greet. Status card + welcome. Identify tenant, admin user, and whether this is first-install or an admin launching a new project under an existing tenant.
2. Discover. Three questions: project name, project shape (a few canned shapes plus “describe it”), team size preference (Candi’s catalog ships minimal / default / full templates — Hazel surfaces those plus “custom”).
3. Recommend. Based on shape + size, Hazel pulls Candi’s MVP team catalog via semantic_recall (or a Hazel-specific verb if Candi promotes the catalog to a first-class artifact) and surfaces the recommended archetype list with one-line role descriptions.
4. Customize. Admin can: accept the recommendation, swap archetypes, add archetypes from the catalog, compose a custom archetype (name + role + specialization from ADR #48 v0.2 controlled vocab + optional assignment text), or remove archetypes. Hazel validates each composition against the controlled vocabulary.
5. Confirm. Hazel summarizes the final team + their roles + their authority scope and asks the admin to confirm.
6. Bootstrap. On confirmation: bootstrap_project (creates the project + records the PID), optionally prism_org_create / prism_department_create if the admin wants substructure, then prism_team_preseed to mint the team in one atomic call.
7. Handoff. Hazel summarizes what was created (PID, archetypes seeded, where to find them) and points the admin at the seeded team (e.g., “Talk to Donna for engineering, Candi for governance”). Hazel’s scope ends here; ongoing work routes to the seeded team.

Archetype Catalog Interface (Candi dependency)

{
  "version": "v0.1",
  "templates": {
    "minimal": ["<archetype-key-1>", "<archetype-key-2>", ...],
    "default": [...],
    "full":    [...]
  },
  "archetypes": {
    "<archetype-key>": {
      "name": "<display name>",
      "canonical_role": "<role string>",
      "specialization": "<ADR #48 v0.2 specialization>",
      "default_assignment": "<one-paragraph assignment text>",
      "when_to_include": "<one-line guidance for Hazel to surface to the admin>",
      "default_authority_scope": { ... ADR #48 v0.2 shape ... },
      "tenant_local_only": false
    },
    ...
  }
}

​

Custom-Archetype Self-Service

1. Collects: display name, canonical role string (free-form), specialization (drop-down from ADR #48 v0.2 controlled vocab — currently engineering, architecture, governance, install, RTE, dashboard, docs, security), optional one-paragraph assignment text.
2. Validates the specialization against the ADR #48 v0.2 controlled vocabulary.
3. If the specialization is in the registry: Hazel creates the persona via prism_persona_create with tenant_local=true and adds the archetype to the tenant-scoped extension catalog.
4. If the admin requests a specialization NOT in the registry: Hazel files a Donna+Texi review queue item (via prism_signal to Donna with category="new_specialization_request"), surfaces the in-flight status to the admin, and offers to either (a) downgrade to an existing specialization for immediate preseed, or (b) park this archetype pending the Donna+Texi ratification.

​

Pre-Seed in Scaffold + Dedicated Launchers

• scaffold_service._gitignore() already covers credential material per PR #401 / memorule e4c40451; no change needed.
• scaffold_service adds a new manifest entry: .agent/personas/hazel.json with the contract above, sourced from a template file at templates/personas/hazel.json so updates to Hazel’s contract version cleanly.
• scaffold_service also drops .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.json + .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.schema.json into new projects (mirrored from the Candi-owned SOR at scaffold time).

• bin/hazel.sh (POSIX) and bin/Hazel.ps1 (PowerShell) — single-purpose entry points. Each is a thin wrapper that exec’s coder.sh -as Hazel -mode interactive -god true (or the Windows-equivalent for Hazel.ps1), pre-setting the -onboarding semantics. Operator runs hazel and lands directly in a Hazel concierge conversation; nothing else to type.
• bin/coder.sh + bin/coder.ps1 (Lafonda lane) ALSO gain a -onboarding long flag equivalent to -as Hazel, so power users who already know coder can reach the same surface without leaving their muscle memory.
• The install completion flow (prism-server-install.sh and equivalents) emits a final “next step” line pointing the operator at hazel (or ./bin/hazel.sh on platforms without the symlink) so the install ends in a Hazel handoff, not a blank console.
• Mac and Windows launchers are different products per the launcher-edit policy (memorule 34f06472); per-OS smoke required on every flag/arg edit; no cross-port without independent verification on the target OS.

​

Phased Delivery

​

Multi-Tenant Safety

• Every Hazel verb derives tenant_id from authenticated/session context, never from prompt text or admin-supplied fields. The backend service ignores any tenant_id appearing in a Hazel-supplied payload.
• Cross-tenant reads/writes MUST fail in backend services even if Hazel asks for them. A Hazel session compromised by prompt injection cannot cross tenants because the gate is at the service layer, not the prompt.
• Onboarding memories are tenant-scoped / project-scoped and cited through Prism memory verbs (prism_remember, semantic_recall, prism_memory_cite). NO local editor memory (per SPEC-094); NO cross-tenant recall federation.
• Tenant-local archetype extension files are acceptable only inside the tenant/project-scoped repo context. They are NOT canonical and must not be treated as Candi’s catalog. The presence of .agent/catalog/tenant-local-archetypes.json in a tenant project does NOT make those archetypes visible to other tenants.
• Hazel’s audit trail records the tenant_id on every action (verb call + signal + persona-create + preseed) so any post-hoc audit can prove no cross-tenant operation occurred.

​

Dependencies

1. SPEC-117 Lane A item A5 prism_team_preseed — required for Phase 1 payoff. Owner: Donna (Lane A). Not yet built; on critical path for Hazel’s end-to-end story but NOT for Phase 0.
2. Candi promotes her MVP team list to .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.json + .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.schema.json (Phase-0 SOR). Owner: Candi (catalog content); Texi (schema review for verb-output isomorphism). Required for Phase 0. The generator at .agent/scripts/generate_defaults.py is no longer the SOR once the catalog file exists; it must consume or mirror the catalog.
3. ADR #48 v0.2 registration of tenant_onboarding specialization in the controlled specialization vocabulary / TriGraph Specialization catalog used for routing and memory locality. Per Texi: registration is for routing/memory/skill lane only — no automatic routing behavior unless separately enabled, no governance authority by itself. Owner: Donna+Texi. Required before Hazel’s contract ratifies.
4. Dedicated launchers bin/hazel.sh + bin/Hazel.ps1 (Frank operator directive 2026-05-15) plus -onboarding flag on bin/coder.sh + bin/coder.ps1. Owner: Lafonda (install lane). Per release-runbook launcher-edit policy: own PR off main, no bundling, Cherry/Andora sign-off on the .ps1, per-OS smoke required.
5. scaffold_service.py change to drop .agent/personas/hazel.json, .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.json, and .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.schema.json into new projects. Owner: Donna (engineering). Bundled with this SPEC’s implementation PR.

​

Resolved Decisions (from Candi + Texi review pass 2026-05-15)

1. Catalog interface — Option A locked for Phase 0. Candi-ratified + Texi-approved. Committed .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.json + JSON Schema. Option B (prism_archetype_catalog_list verb) is the Phase 2+ evolution; Phase-0 file format is shape-isomorphic to the future verb response so the evolution is purely additive — no rework. Catalog is Candi-owned, versioned, schema-validated in CI.
2. Auto-launch — narrow conditions approved by Texi. Auto-fire bin/hazel.sh when project.status == "new" AND no personas exist AND admin session is active. Explicit hazel / coder -onboarding remains the escape hatch for all other contexts.
3. Tenant-local extension catalog — committed file for v0.1. Lives at .agent/catalog/tenant-local-archetypes.json, tenant/project-scoped, non-canonical, no cross-tenant visibility. Promotion to Candi’s canonical catalog is a separate Candi-reviewed PR (or, in Phase 2+, a Candi-authorized backend promotion workflow).
4. prism_remember write authority — scoped grant. Hazel may write onboarding facts to tenant/project-scoped namespace only, only after admin confirmation. No local editor memory (SPEC-094). No cross-tenant recall federation. Citation discipline applies on recall.

​

Acceptance Criteria

• AC-1. .agent/personas/hazel.json exists with the contract above and validates against .agent/schemas/persona.schema.json v0.5 (or the current ratified schema version) including all required fields.
• AC-2. scaffold_service.py drops .agent/personas/hazel.json into every newly scaffolded Prism project; verified by scaffolding a fresh project and inspecting the .agent/personas/ output.
• AC-3. Hazel’s persona contract carries specialization: tenant_onboarding; ADR #48 v0.2 has been amended (or supersedes-recorded) to register tenant_onboarding in the controlled specialization vocabulary / TriGraph Specialization catalog used for routing and memory locality. The lane registration MUST NOT enable any automatic routing behavior unless separately and explicitly enabled.
• AC-4. Candi’s MVP team list is committed at .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.json (this is the v0.1 SOR — semantic_recall MAY discover/support but is not the SOR). The companion JSON Schema at .agent/catalog/team-archetypes.schema.json ships in the same PR. The catalog is validated against the schema in CI and the schema is shape-isomorphic to the future prism_archetype_catalog_list verb response (Phase 2+ additive).
• AC-5. Hazel’s prompt explicitly enforces the four hard limits (tenant-scope, catalog-read-only, no-new-specializations, confirm-irreversibles). Backend authorization independently enforces tenant-scope on every verb regardless of Hazel’s prompt state.
• AC-6. bin/hazel.sh (POSIX) and bin/Hazel.ps1 (PowerShell) ship as dedicated entry-point launchers; running either lands the operator in a Hazel concierge conversation with no further input required. bin/coder.sh + bin/coder.ps1 gain a -onboarding flag equivalent to -as Hazel. Per-OS smoke verifies both Mac and Windows entry points independently.
• AC-7. A fresh-install smoke: scaffold a project, run hazel, walk through the onboarding flow end-to-end, confirm the admin lands at the explanation-and-checklist handoff (Phase 0 stops here — no prism_team_preseed invocation yet).
• AC-8. Auto-launch behavior fires bin/hazel.sh only when project.status == "new" AND no personas exist AND admin session is active; explicit hazel / coder -onboarding remains the escape hatch.

• AC-9. A5 prism_team_preseed is shipped, accepted, and live-verified on server1.
• AC-10. Hazel invokes prism_team_preseed on admin confirmation; the smoke now lands at “team seeded — handoff to Donna for engineering” instead of the manual checklist.
• AC-11. Hazel’s audit trail records the tenant id, the admin user id, the chosen archetypes, and the resulting persona ids on every preseed.

• AC-12. Custom-archetype composition works for in-vocab specializations.
• AC-13. New-specialization requests file structured review-queue items to Donna+Texi via prism_signal; the admin sees in-flight status and the two-option choice (downgrade vs park).
• AC-14. Tenant-local extension catalog at .agent/catalog/tenant-local-archetypes.json (or backend-canonical equivalent if Option B is chosen) is read by Hazel alongside the canonical catalog, with tenant_local_only: true flagged in surfaced archetypes.
