All red, imps

partner in 4th seat opens 1♦, you bid 1♥, pard rebids 1NT.

bonus question: if this is not an invite, what is the minimum change to your club holding you'd have to make to invite with it?

I pass even if we play 15-17 NT's.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I agree with this.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

In case it wasn't clear, you play 15-17 NT.

So ♣A109 is .... an invite? a pass?

With a 109 it would be a closer call.

I'd pass but its a little close. Maybe they'll balance ;)

Give me a 10-9 somewhere or a J and I'll invite.

Easy pass with all these quacks.

Put in a jack somewhere, and it's close - I'd normally invite then. Another filler and it's a clear invite.
Kind regards,
Harald

Agree with the consensus. At best, you get to a 25-point 3NT with 14 opposite the worst 11 possible. And how will you feel if you get to a 24-point game with this. I also don't fancy 2NT opposite 12 or a bad 13. And if partner is stretching with a good 11, we will be lucky to make 1NT. Add ♣J and I invite but don't feel great about it.

Pass.
Add ♣J and I bid 3NT
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Partner has A9x K10x A98xx QJ

I invited, but it was the 2nd to last board and I was sure we were down at least 16 so I was trying to generate a swing. Despite catching a good hand for this action, game didn't make. We actually won 3 on the board, other table was in it too and was -2 instead of -1.
