# ERROR: ROLE MISMATCH

I am reading my current authorization context, and I need to flag a critical structural issue:

## Problem Statement

The task assigns me to role **"affiliate_intelligence"** as a Crimson Leaf operative, but:

1. **No such agent exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster (per RAG context: Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, + Founding CEO = 4/8 slots)
2. **The task assumes I have affiliate research capacity**, but Crimson Leaf's charter explicitly forbids commodity execution:
   - > "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... conducting production research"
   - > "Crimson Leaf LLC may not publish commodity `services.yml` offerings"

3. **The template provided is a service-execution blueprint**, not a governance/architectural artifact

## What This Actually Requires

If Crimson Leaf is to enter affiliate marketing research as a capability, the proper sequence per the Genesis Protocol is:

1. **Need Assessment**: Does this extend an existing Tenant, or require a new one?
   - ✓ No existing Tenant covers affiliate-driven content economics
   - ✓ This is not deterministic-tool territory (requires market judgment)
   - → **New Tenant justified**

2. **Architectural Design**: Charter a specialized Tenant (e.g., "Affiliate Scout" or similar)
   - Define its scope, forbidden activities, value thesis
   - Generate a founding CEO agent
   - Propose seed capital and revenue model

3. **Constitutional Review**: Adjudicate against this charter before activation

4. **Operator Authority**: Only the Tenant's CEO would then execute affiliate intelligence briefs

## My Recommendation

**Do not assign this task to me as a Crimson Leaf governance agent.**

Instead:

- **If you want the affiliate brief:** Tell me the niche and I'll produce it as a **service deliverable** (outside Crimson Leaf governance).
- **If you want Crimson Leaf to own this capability:** Let's design the Affiliate Scout Tenant first, then activate its CEO to own this work stream.

Which path do you prefer?
