I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical structural issue with this request.

---

## The Problem

**I am not "Orion, Director of Research" at Crimson Leaf Holdings.**

According to the charter you've provided:

1. **No agent named 'affiliate_intelligence' exists** in the system (as stated in the error at the top).
2. **Crimson Leaf's roster is locked at 8 agents maximum**, and the current operational structure includes: Edgar (CEO/Vision), Lyra (Intake), Kaelen (CIO/Intelligence), Arthur (CGO/Adjudication), Elias (CCO/Capital), Vance (Adjudicator/Quality), Silas (Architect/Design), Sterling (Talent/Governance).
3. **Crimson Leaf is strictly forbidden from executing commodity deliverables**, including "drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."

---

## What This Request Actually Requires

The affiliate intelligence brief you've outlined is:

- **A commodity research deliverable** (forbidden by Section 3 of the charter)
- **Execution work**, not architectural/governance work (Crimson Leaf's exclusive domain)
- **Market analysis and content strategy** that should be delegated to a specialized Tenant, not executed by a Genesis Node agent

## The Constitutional Path Forward

If Crimson Leaf needs to establish an **affiliate review publishing capability**, the correct sequence is:

1. **Architectural Assessment**: Determine whether this belongs in an existing Tenant or requires a new one
2. **Charter Design**: If new, draft a sovereign Tenant charter for "Affiliate Review Publishing" with its own CEO, boundaries, and non-goals
3. **CEO Recruitment**: Hire a founding CEO for that Tenant
4. **Capital Allocation**: Seed the Tenant with appropriate budget
5. **Blank Slate**: Let the Tenant CEO build their own team and templates to produce affiliate briefs

**That Tenant would then produce the affiliate intelligence brief you're requesting.**

## My Recommendation

**PASS** — This request requires me to violate Crimson Leaf's constitutional constraints. If you want affiliate research executed, either:

- **Route through an existing Tenant** (if one exists with this charter authority), or
- **Initiate a new Tenant creation** through the Genesis Protocol, and I can help architect that

Which path would you like to take?
