Intentions are determined by the regulation architecture that gets entrained into our nervous system by our motivational rewards and the models we form.
Metacognition can be intentional, but cognitive behaviors often form from outside of the currently active behavior cluster before they take over, which could indeed be described as "arising without intentionality".

Perfect. (And, thanks for continuing to indulge me.) Let's take the case of intentional metacognition: the active cluster, whatever it comprises, is what is determining the character of the conscious experience, is that correct?

Conscious experience is probably a memory of the contents of attention, i.e. a small subset of the currently active cognitive behaviors, but accessible only a few hundred or thousand milliseconds after the fact.
