 - Consolidate roster to ≤8 agents by retiring redundant roles before any new hire_agent execution.
 - Prior to any new hire_agent execution, conduct Constitutional Rationalization to retire redundant agents and enforce the 8-agent roster limit, ensuring zero-overlap functions.
 - Policy: Enforce Zero-Overlap Hiring Rule—reject all recruitment requests that introduce role redundancy across existing roster; audit for overlaps in Architectural, Capital, and Creative domains; maintain strict eight-agent roster cap.
+- Immediately freeze all hiring upon detection of roster bloat exceeding 8 agents; consolidate redundancies and reset to constitutional limit before incubating new Tenants.
