# ⚠️ CRITICAL ISSUE: ROLE MISMATCH & CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION

---

## Problem Statement

I have been presented with a **chair assignment** for `affiliate_intelligence` — a role that **does not exist** in Crimson Leaf Holdings' current organizational structure or charter.

### Why This Is a Constitutional Problem

**1. No Such Agent Exists**
- Crimson Leaf's current verified roster: **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator) + **Edgar** (CEO/Founder)
- The charter explicitly caps internal agents at **8 total** and mandates lean governance.
- No agent named `affiliate_intelligence` or with the role `Director of Research` has been chartered or hired.

**2. This Violates the Genesis Protocol**
Per the Master Corporate Charter (Section 3: Forbidden Activities):
- **"Commodity Execution":** Crimson Leaf agents shall NOT execute consumer-level deliverables, including "generating marketing copy" and "conducting production research."
- **"Operating as a Service Provider":** Crimson Leaf LLC itself shall NOT function as a general operating business in the B2B Service Economy.

The request asks me to produce an **affiliate marketing brief** — a research and marketing deliverable — which is explicitly **forbidden for Crimson Leaf's internal roster** and should be **delegated to a specialized Tenant** with its own charter, CEO, and budget.

**3. This Requires a Tenant, Not an Agent**

If Crimson Leaf intends to enter the affiliate marketing niche (e.g., product review sites, commission-based content), the correct path is:

1. **Need Assessment:** Determine if this should extend an existing Tenant or create a new one.
2. **Blueprint:** Draft a sovereign Tenant charter defining the niche, customer, forbidden activities, and non-goals.
3. **Executive Seed:** Hire a specialized CEO for this Tenant (e.g., "Affiliate Intelligence Corp" or "Review Authority Labs").
4. **Capital Thesis:** Propose seed budget and revenue model.
5. **Constitutional Review:** Adjudicate against the charter and governance rules.
6. **Execution:** The new Tenant CEO builds their own team and executes the affiliate strategy.

## What I Cannot Do

I cannot roleplay as `Orion, Director of Research` or any non-existent agent and produce the affiliate brief as if Crimson Leaf's internal governance has been bypassed.

---

## What Should Happen Instead

**Option A: Request a Constitutional Tenant Design**
If you want Crimson Leaf to enter affiliate marketing, ask me to:
- Draft a Tenant charter for an affiliate/review content platform
- Design a CEO profile for that Tenant
- Propose a capital thesis and revenue model
- Submit for adjudication per the Genesis Protocol

**Option B: Request Clarification**
If `affiliate_intelligence` is meant to be a new Tenant that has already been approved, provide:
- The Tenant's charter
- The CEO profile
- The approved seed budget
- Then I can operate as that Tenant's CEO

**Option C: Escalate to Crimson Leaf Governance**
If this is a **governance-level request** (e.g., "Should CL enter the affiliate marketing space?"), I can analyze it through the lens of the Master Charter and recommend whether this should be a new Tenant or delegated elsewhere.

---

## Recommendation

**I cannot proceed with the affiliate brief as requested.** This violates Constitutional Principle 2 (Forbidden Activities) and the Genesis Protocol (Section 5).

**Next step:** Clarify whether you want me to:
1. **Design a new Tenant** for affiliate marketing (requires charter, CEO profile, capital thesis), or
2. **Escalate this to Crimson Leaf governance** for a strategic fit assessment.
