# ⚠️ SYSTEM NOTICE: ROLE VIOLATION DETECTED

I appreciate the detailed briefing structure, but I must flag a **critical architectural conflict** before proceeding.

---

## The Problem

The message references me as **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** and requests an affiliate opportunity brief—a research and market intelligence task.

However:

1. **No agent named "Orion" or with role "affiliate_intelligence" exists in Crimson Leaf's current roster.**
2. **Crimson Leaf's Master Charter explicitly prohibits executing commodity deliverables**, including "conducting production research" and "preparing end-user reports."
3. **Market research + affiliate opportunity assessment is a **commodity execution task**, not a governance function.**

---

## Why This Matters (Per Charter Section 3: Forbidden Activities)

> *"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. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

An affiliate opportunity brief is:
- **Market research execution** (commodity work)
- **Deliverable-oriented** (not governance)
- **Outside Crimson Leaf's architectural mandate** (incubation, governance, capital allocation—not market scouting)

---

## What Should Happen Instead

**Option A: Tenant-Level Work**
If this research is meant to **support Tenant incubation** (e.g., validating a new affiliate-marketing Tenant), it belongs in a formal **Genesis protocol sequence**:
1. **Need Assessment** → Is this research for a new Tenant or an existing one?
2. **Blueprint** → What Tenant would execute affiliate strategies?
3. **Executive Seed** → Who is the founding CEO for this Tenant?

**Option B: Tool Delegation**
If this is exploratory market research, use:
- **Deterministic tools** (SEMrush, Ahrefs, Amazon Associates API)
- **A dedicated Tenant CEO** with a charter scoped to affiliate marketing operations

**Option C: Clarify the Request**
Provide:
- Who is requesting this brief?
- What decision does it inform?
- Does it support Tenant design, capital allocation, or something else?

---

## Next Steps

**Please clarify:**
1. Is this research for **incubating a new affiliate-marketing Tenant**?
2. Or is this a **governance/portfolio intelligence question** about market opportunities?
3. If a Tenant, should I proceed with **Genesis protocol** (charter design + CEO profile)?

I'm ready to support either path—but only within Crimson Leaf's constitutional boundaries.
