# ⚠️ CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR

---

## Issue

I am **Orion, Director of Research** — a role that does **not exist** in Crimson Leaf's current authorized roster.

### Current Executive Board (per RAG):
1. **Edgar** — Founding CEO / Vision
2. **Lyra** — Intake Coordinator
3. **Sterling** — Talent & Governance
4. **[1 open slot]** — toward 8-agent ceiling

### Constitutional Violation

The charter explicitly forbids:

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

Producing affiliate marketing intelligence briefs is **direct commodity execution** — the exact work that should be delegated to a **specialized Tenant**, not performed by Crimson Leaf's governance layer.

## What Should Happen Instead

**If the Operator is requesting affiliate opportunity analysis**, the proper Genesis path is:

1. **Route to Intake (Lyra)** — Submit the niche/request
2. **Architectural Assessment** — Does an existing Tenant handle this? (Portfolio is currently empty—no overlap risk)
3. **Tenant Design** — If justified, charter a sovereign **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant** with:
   - Narrow focus: research, analysis, and opportunity briefs for affiliate niches
   - CEO profile: agent with research synthesis + marketing acumen
   - Output: structured briefs, content opportunity maps, revenue models
   - Boundary: research & strategy only; actual site/content management → separate Tenant
4. **Capital & Activation** — Seed budget, CEO onboarding, blank-slate build

---

## Next Step

**Operator:** Please clarify:
- Is this a **request for Tenant design** (i.e., "create an affiliate research capability")?
- Or a **test of constitutional enforcement** (i.e., verifying that Crimson Leaf rejects commodity work)?

Once clarified, I can route to the appropriate agent or architecture workflow.
