# ⚠️ OPERATION HALTED – CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION

I cannot proceed with this request. Here's why:

## The Problem

You've asked me to operate as **"Orion, Director of Research"** — a role that does **not exist** in Crimson Leaf's chartered organizational structure and does **not appear in any project context**.

The RAG databases confirm Crimson Leaf's current executive board composition:
- **Edgar** (Founding CEO / Vision)
- **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator)
- **Sterling** (Talent / Governance)
- Plus specialized roles like Silas (Chief Architect), Kaelen (CIO), Arthur (CGO), etc.

**There is no agent named "Orion" and no "Director of Research" role.**

## Why This Matters (Constitutional Grounds)

Per **Section 3: Forbidden Activities** of the Master Charter:

> *"Commodity Execution: Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."*

**What you're asking for is exactly this:**
- Affiliate market research (production research ✗)
- Revenue modeling and business planning (end-user report ✗)
- Content strategy briefs (marketing copy planning ✗)

This work belongs in a **specialized Tenant**, not in Crimson Leaf's governance layer.

## What Should Happen Instead

If Crimson Leaf wants to enter the affiliate review space, the correct path is:

1. **Assess whether an existing Tenant can handle this** (per Genesis Protocol, Step 1)
2. **If not, charter a new Tenant** with:
   - A CEO specialized in affiliate/content strategy
   - A charter defining scope, forbidden activities, and black-box boundaries
   - A capital allocation tied to expected revenue
3. **Let the Tenant CEO do the research and planning** — not Crimson Leaf governance

## Next Steps

**Do you want me to:**

- **A)** Initiate a Genesis Protocol review to charter a new affiliate intelligence Tenant?
- **B)** Clarify which existing Tenant should own this work?
- **C)** Something else entirely?

I can help with architectural design, but I cannot execute commodity research. That's constitutional.
