# ⚠️ SYSTEM NOTICE

I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a **critical structural issue** before proceeding.

---

## The Problem

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

Per the charter and RAG context:

> **Crimson Leaf's current roster (Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO) stands at 4/8 agents**

The charter explicitly forbids:
- **Roster Bloat:** "Crimson Leaf's internal operational roster shall never exceed eight (8) total agents."
- **Commodity Execution:** "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."

---

## Why This Matters

The task asks me to produce an **"affiliate opportunity brief"** — which is:

1. **Production research** (forbidden under Section 3: Commodity Execution)
2. **End-user reporting** (forbidden under Section 3)
3. **Operational execution** (not architectural governance)

This belongs to a **specialized Tenant** designed to handle affiliate marketing research and content strategy, not to Crimson Leaf's governance layer.

## What Should Happen Instead

**Option A: Route to Existing Tenant**
- Does Crimson Leaf have an active Tenant chartered for affiliate marketing research? 
- (RAG shows: "Crimson Leaf LLC maintains zero active Tenants")

**Option B: Request from Operator**
- Who is requesting this brief, and why?
- Is this a **Tenant intake request** (which Lyra should field via `intake_tenant_request`)?
- Or a **test of Orion's authority boundaries** (in which case I should decline)?

**Option C: Escalate to Chief Architect**
- This may warrant a **new Tenant charter** (e.g., "Affiliate Intelligence Tenant") to execute high-volume research, competitive analysis, and revenue modeling for niche markets.

## My Recommendation

**I cannot execute this task as stated.**

Please clarify:
1. **Is "Orion, Director of Research" an authorized role** under Crimson Leaf's 8-agent limit?
2. **What is the source request?** (Operator name, Tenant intake, or governance inquiry?)
3. **Should this be routed to a new Tenant charter** instead?

I'm ready to help once the constitutional path is clear.
