-## Cycle Entry: Task e7f07f15-393e-405f-bad2-50addf9e145d
+I need to pause and clarify the situation before generating a cycle entry.
 
-### Board Consensus
-The strategic review remains technically blocked by a missing system template, preventing formal portfolio adjudication and new Tenant creation.
+**Critical Blocker Identified:**
 
-### Gap Status
-GAP 1 (CLO): awaiting David
-GAP 2 (CLR): no change
-GAP 3 (KDP): no change
+The conversation history indicates a **persistent template infrastructure failure** that has blocked strategic review operations since 04/26-04/27:
 
-### Proposal Decision
-DEFERRED: Technical failure in the Genesis Node (template load error) prevents the secure execution of the `create_company` protocol for any new business units.
+- The `strategy` template is missing from `pae/crimson_leaf/templates/`
+- Multiple operator triggers for strategic reviews have failed with `intake_error`
+- This blocks all downstream analysis, decision-making, and board consensus formation
 
-### CLM Dispatch
-NONE
+**Current State:**
+- No agent named `strategic_review` exists in the Crimson Leaf company
+- Crimson Leaf's roster (per RAG) should include specialized governance agents, but the system cannot instantiate them
+- The Incubation project shows 1 task in progress but repeated failures suggest that task is stuck
 
-### Next Focus
-Operators must resolve the template directory error in `pae/crimson_leaf/templates/` to restore constitutional governance and enable Tenant incubation.
+**What This Means for This Cycle:**
+
+I cannot authentically generate a board consensus entry because:
+
+1. **No board session occurred** — the template failure prevents the strategic review from running
+2. **No decisions were made** — there is no deliberative record to summarize
+3. **No dispatch occurred** — CLM cannot be notified of new incubations
+4. **Inventing an entry would falsify the log** — violating your instruction to "NOT invent history"
+
+**Recommended Action:**
+
+Before I can generate a valid cycle entry, the infrastructure issue must be resolved:
+
+```
+REQUIRED:
+1. Restore or create the 'strategy' template in pae/crimson_leaf/templates/
+   (copy from pae/core/templates/ if necessary)
+2. Verify the strategic_review agent can be instantiated
+3. Re-trigger the board session
+4. THEN generate the cycle entry from actual board deliberation
+```
+
+**Should I:**
+- Wait for operator confirmation that templates are restored?
+- Document this cycle as **BLOCKED: Infrastructure Failure** in the log?
+- Or proceed with a different action?
