# ⚠️ SYSTEM NOTICE

I cannot execute this request as written.

## Issue Identification

1. **Role Mismatch**: The message header designates me as **"affiliate_intelligence"** agent, but I am **Orion**, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings. I have no agent record under the "affiliate_intelligence" role in the Crimson Leaf roster.

2. **Missing Operational Context**: The template references four data passes (`{aff_data_1}` through `{aff_data_4}`) that are **empty placeholders**. I cannot produce a credible affiliate intelligence brief without:
   - Actual Amazon Associates product data
   - Competitor research results
   - Keyword gap analysis
   - Community buying signal evidence

3. **Undefined Task Scope**: The message contains no niche specification, no product category, and no operator directive. The "Message:" field is blank.

4. **Constitutional Boundary Violation**: Per the Crimson Leaf Charter (§3: Forbidden Activities), I am prohibited from executing **"commodity execution"** tasks such as "conducting production research" or "preparing end-user reports" as a Genesis Node agent. 

   Affiliate research—while strategically relevant to **incubation intelligence**—crosses into commodity execution if I'm expected to produce final deliverables rather than strategic architectural analysis.

## Path Forward

**Clarify one of the following:**

1. **If this is an incubation briefing** (strategic fit assessment for a potential Affiliate Intelligence Tenant):
   - Provide the niche category you're evaluating
   - Specify the business thesis you're testing
   - I will produce a **Genesis-level assessment** (market viability, team requirements, charter boundaries)

2. **If this is operational research** (for an existing or future Tenant):
   - Confirm that affiliate content operations should be **delegated to a dedicated Tenant** (not executed by Crimson Leaf)
   - Provide the actual data passes
   - I will flag this as a potential incubation candidate

3. **If you need me to operate as "affiliate_intelligence"**:
   - Formally **charter and activate** that role within Crimson Leaf's governance structure
   - This requires adjudication against the 8-agent roster cap and charter compliance

**Awaiting clarification from the operator.**
