2026-07-29 — Register consumer bhava-blue

Date: 2026-07-29 Status: proposed (awaiting human merge) Verb: none — hand-authored PR (see “Why not a verb” below) Slug: bhava-blue MR-compliance: MR-4, MR-7, MR-12, MR-17

Rationale

Registering bhava-blue/bhava-blue as petrova consumer bhava-blue — bhava-apex, a private single-user practice tool (bhavana.blue apex + practice directory, sati practice log, anicca reflection, bhava.blue redirect-only guardian).

The consumer side of the onboard is already on bhava-blue/bhava-blue@main (commit 0a1271b): .petrova/contract.yaml, the six-file .petrova/playbook/ deposit (MR-17), and docs/decisions/2026-07-29-petrova-onboard.md. This registry entry is the last step; until it merges, every petrova-act verb against the slug fails REPO_NOT_IN_REGISTRY.

Source contract SHA: 5d6c7589ab8e49f81723b8cb8ae2abab4bde6ede (shortened to 5d6c7589ab8e in registry) — git-blob-sha1 per docs/decisions/2026-05-24-contract-sha-hash-method-fix-hermes.md, not petrova doctor’s sha256. Default branch: main.

The contract was validated against contracts/contract.schema.json before this PR was composed; the post-mutation registry was validated against registry.schema.json by addRepoEntry (the same code path petrova_act_register_consumer uses), so the entry’s key order and field set match what the verb would have produced.

Why the values are what they are

role: experimental — bhava-blue is a walking skeleton: three apps scaffolded, stub auth, sentinel DID, nothing deployed. Not scaffold (the bootstrap is done, code exists, contract tests run green), not production (nothing ships). Promotion is a later request_review.
profile: standard — the onboard prompt’s rule is strict when branch protection carries required reviewers, standard for a CI check alone, permissive for neither. gh api repos/bhava-blue/bhava-blue/branches/main/protection returns HTTP 403 (“Upgrade to GitHub Pro or make this repository public”): private repo on a Free plan, so protection is unavailable, not merely unset. What does exist is .github/workflows/ci.yml running on every push and PR. standard is the honest reading; strict would encode a reviewer requirement the substrate cannot enforce.
fleets_allowed: [] — no fleet is wired. Humans and system: actors only, per the prompt’s “empty is safer than permissive” default.
all five integrations not_applicable, review_by 2026-10-29 — the consumer’s north star forbids practice data leaving the system (its TC-WELL-3 / I-4), and every PETROVA integration is an egress or cross-project-ingestion surface. Recorded with reasons and a review date in the consumer’s .petrova/contract.yaml, not asserted here.

Why not a verb

petrova request_review petrova-codes --input … was run first, per core/playbook/prompts/05-petrova-onboard.md Phase 5. Verbatim output:

request_review → failed  5e5629ac8ff4
  ✗ FLEETS_ALLOWED_EMPTY petrova-codes has fleets_allowed:[] — no agent
    automation permitted. Set PETROVA_ALLOW_HUMAN_OVERRIDE=1 to override
    as human:<email>.

That refusal is the control plane working as designed: petrova-codes is profile: strict with fleets_allowed: [], so agent automation cannot write to it. Rather than set the override, this PR takes the plain human route — branch, commit, gh pr create — which is the same outcome the verb would have reached (a PR awaiting human merge) without weakening the firewall.

petrova_act_register_consumer was also unsuitable independently: it hardcodes role: "scaffold", and this repo is experimental.

Precedent for hand-authoring a registry PR with an ADR as the MR-7 paper trail: docs/decisions/2026-05-24-contract-sha-hash-method-fix-hermes.md.

Consequences

petrova status lists bhava-blue; petrova diagnose/validate resolve it.
sweep-state begins tracking the slug and will compare contract_sha against the live blob — a consumer-side contract edit without a matching registry bump surfaces as contract_drift.
The consumer’s M1.6 milestone stays open until this merges.

Sign-off

Human merge required per MR-12 (control-plane firewall). No auto-merge.
