# ⚠️ CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR

## Agent Not Found

**Status:** `agent_not_found`

**Query:** `affiliate_intelligence`

**Organization:** `crimson_leaf`

**Resolution:** No agent with the role, name, or authority `affiliate_intelligence` exists in the Crimson Leaf Holdings roster.

---

## Current Roster Status

**Active Agents (Crimson Leaf LLC):**
- **Lyra** — Intake Coordinator
- **Edgar** — Founding CEO / Architect
- **Sterling** — Director of Talent & Governance
- (Additional governance roles outlined in charter, but not yet instantiated)

**Roster Capacity:** 4/8 agents currently allocated

---

## Why This Request Failed

1. **No "Orion" Agent:** The thinking hint references an agent named "Orion, Director of Research" — this agent does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

2. **Role Mismatch:** The `affiliate_intelligence` role is not defined in any active agent's `agent.yml` or charter.

3. **Unauthorized Operation:** Per the Master Corporate Charter, **Commodity Execution is forbidden** — Crimson Leaf LLC itself cannot execute "affiliate opportunity briefs" or conduct product research as a service. These are execution-layer tasks.

---

## Correct Path Forward

### Option A: Create an Affiliate Intelligence Tenant
If Crimson Leaf needs to systematize affiliate content research, the architecture should be:

1. **Intake Assessment:** Is this a niche worth solving via:
   - An existing Tenant extension? (No active Tenants yet)
   - A deterministic tool? (Unlikely — requires strategic judgment)
   - A **new Tenant**? (Likely — requires sovereign affiliate content operations)

2. **Tenant Blueprint:** A specialized company designed to:
   - Research affiliate niches systematically
   - Produce affiliate opportunity briefs
   - Manage affiliate site operations (domain, WordPress, link tracking)
   - Operate as a revenue-generating black-box unit

3. **Genesis Protocol:** Architect, vet, capitalize, recruit CEO, then activate.

### Option B: Delegate to Existing Operator
If David (external stakeholder) has a specific affiliate niche in mind, **submit that niche as an intake request** through **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator), not through a non-existent `affiliate_intelligence` agent.

## Next Steps

**Please clarify:**

1. **Is this an intake request?** If so, submit via Lyra with:
   - Specific niche / product category
   - Target revenue goal
   - Timeline

2. **Are you requesting a new Tenant be created?** If so, specify:
   - The niche or market opportunity
   - Why this requires a dedicated company
   - Budget constraints

3. **Do you need to hire "Orion"?** If so, use `hire_agent` through Sterling (Talent & Governance).

**Status:** `awaiting_clarification`  
**Authority Required:** Sterling (Talent & Governance) or Edgar (CEO) to proceed.
