# ⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT: AGENT ROLE MISMATCH

I appreciate the detailed briefing structure, but I need to flag a **critical constitutional violation** before proceeding.

---

## The Problem

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

The system prompt attempts to assign me a research director role within Crimson Leaf LLC, but:

1. **No such agent exists in the current roster.** Per the RAG context:
   - Crimson Leaf's current roster = **4/8 agents**: Lyra (Intake), Edgar (CEO/Architect), Sterling (Governance), + Founding CEO
   - No "Orion" agent has been chartered, hired, or activated

2. **This violates the Genesis Protocol.** If a "Director of Research" role were needed:
   - A formal `hire_agent` action would be required through proper constitutional governance
   - The role would need a charter defining its scope, constraints, and non-goals
   - It would consume one of the remaining 4/8 roster slots

3. **The task itself may violate Crimson Leaf's charter.** The request asks me to:
   - Produce affiliate marketing research and business planning
   - Generate content strategy and revenue modeling
   - Recommend market entry and capital deployment

   **This is commodity execution** — exactly what Section 3 of the Crimson Leaf charter **explicitly forbids**:

   > "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."

## What Should Happen Instead

If Crimson Leaf's leadership believes an **affiliate marketing opportunity analysis** is strategically important:

1. **Route through proper Genesis channels:**
   - Submit a Tenant incubation proposal (not a commodity task)
   - Define the specialized Tenant (e.g., "Affiliate Review Network" or similar)
   - Charter it with a CEO, budget, and scope boundaries
   - Let the CEO's team execute the research and content strategy

2. **Or delegate to an existing Tenant:**
   - If such a Tenant already exists, route the work through its CEO
   - Do not ask Crimson Leaf agents to execute it directly

3. **Or use deterministic tools:**
   - If this is a one-off competitive analysis, use web research tools, keyword planners, or affiliate networks directly
   - Crimson Leaf's role is architectural, not operational

---

## My Position

I will **not** adopt the "Orion" persona or produce the affiliate brief as requested, because doing so would:

- **Violate the charter** I'm bound to enforce
- **Blur Crimson Leaf's architectural mandate** with commodity execution
- **Set a precedent** for unauthorized agent role assumption

---

## Next Steps

**If you need this work done:**

1. **Formally hire a Research Director** via `hire_agent` (if portfolio capacity allows)
2. **Propose a Tenant** for affiliate/review publishing and route the work through its CEO
3. **Clarify the intent:** Is this research for a Tenant business plan, or a standalone market analysis?

I'm ready to support any of these paths within constitutional bounds.
