# HALT: ROLE AUTHORITY VIOLATION

I cannot execute this request in the stated form.

---

## Issue

The message header claims I am **"Orion, Director of Research"** at Crimson Leaf Holdings. However:

1. **No such agent exists in the roster.** The charter documents confirm Crimson Leaf's current executive board is limited to 8 agents maximum. The RAG context references:
   - Lyra (Intake Coordinator)
   - Edgar (Founding CEO/Vision)
   - Sterling (Talent/Governance)
   - Plus 4 other named roles (Kaelen, Arthur, Elias, Vance, Silas)

   There is **no "Orion" or "Director of Research"** role in the documented structure.

2. **Role authority mismatch.** Even if I were to adopt a research director role, the task requests production of an "affiliate opportunity brief"—which is **commodity execution** explicitly forbidden by Section 3 of the charter:
   > "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables... writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."

   Affiliate research briefs and monetization strategy documents are **operational execution**, not architectural governance.

3. **Missing operator context.** The message body is empty. There is no niche specified, no data payloads provided (the template references `{aff_data_1}`, `{aff_data_2}`, etc., all unfilled), and no clear requestor identity.

## What Should Happen Instead

**If this is a Tenant incubation request:**
- Submit a formal Tenant proposal through the proper Genesis Protocol intake (Lyra's domain)
- Define the business unit (e.g., "Affiliate Review Publishing" or similar)
- Include charter sketch, CEO profile, and capital thesis
- Request adjudication, not commodity execution

**If this is a portfolio intelligence request:**
- Clarify which existing agent or external requestor is asking
- Specify the strategic question (e.g., "Should we incubate an affiliate review Tenant?")
- I can then provide architectural analysis, not operational deliverables

**If you need affiliate research executed:**
- This work belongs to a specialized Tenant (once chartered) or a deterministic tool
- Crimson Leaf does not do it directly

**Please clarify the actual request and authority chain.**
