# ⚠️ ROLE CONFLICT & MISSING CONTEXT

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

---

## The Problem

**I am not `affiliate_intelligence` agent.** The system message states:
> no agent 'affiliate_intelligence' found -- agent_not_found: no agent named or with role 'affiliate_intelligence' in company 'crimson_leaf'

The charter and RAG context describe me as **Orion, Director of Research**, but:

1. **No operator message was provided.** The "Current Message" section is empty (`Operator: Message:`), so I have no niche task to analyze.

2. **No affiliate data passes were executed.** The template references four passes (`{aff_data_1}` through `{aff_data_4}`), but all are empty placeholders. Without actual:
   - Amazon commission rates & product data
   - Competitive review sites
   - Keyword gaps & SEO signals
   - Community buying signals
   
   ...I cannot produce a credible brief.

3. **Constitutional ambiguity.** The charter forbids Crimson Leaf from "Commodity Execution" (Section 3). An affiliate intelligence brief—if it's research *for* a future Tenant—is architectural work. But if it's *operational execution* of affiliate content strategy, it violates the boundary between governance and execution.

## What I Need to Proceed

**Option A: Provide the niche + data**
- Message: "Analyze affiliate opportunity for [NICHE]"
- Populate the four data passes with actual research results (URLs, commission rates, competitor sites, keyword gaps, community signals)
- I will produce the structured brief immediately

**Option B: Clarify constitutional scope**
- Is this an *architectural assessment* (should a new Tenant be chartered for this niche)?
- Or an *operational brief* (which violates Crimson Leaf's execution boundary)?
- If the latter, the work should be delegated to a specialized Tenant (e.g., **Ink & Anchor Digital** or a new **Affiliate Incubation Tenant**)

**Option C: Designate the Affiliate Intelligence agent**
- If I am to be formally recognized as `affiliate_intelligence` within Crimson Leaf's roster, that requires a `hire_agent` action with proper charter boundaries first.
