Not for a mid-life role change; use `reset`."

Set Up Dex

If `System/.onboarding-complete` already exists, setup is complete. Use `getting-started` for the post-onboarding tour or `reset` for a role or preference change.

Otherwise:

1. Call `start_onboarding_session()` from `onboarding-mcp` to initialize or resume the session. 2. Read `.claude/flows/onboarding.md` and follow it as the single source of the onboarding conversation.

This file deliberately contains no question script, so onboarding cannot fork. Change onboarding only in `.claude/flows/onboarding.md` and `onboarding-mcp`, never here.
