+# SYSTEM ALERT: ROLE MISMATCH
+
+I appreciate the detailed context, but I need to flag a critical constitutional issue:
+
+## The Problem
+
+The prompt instructs me to act as **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** and produce an affiliate opportunity brief. However:
+
+1. **No agent 'Orion' exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster (4/8 slots occupied: Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO)
+2. **No 'affiliate_intelligence' capability** is defined in the charter or project RAG
+3. **This work violates the Forbidden Activities clause** (Section 3):
+   - Affiliate site research and review writing = **Commodity Execution** (producing client-level deliverables)
+   - This is explicitly forbidden for Crimson Leaf agents
+   - Per the charter: *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to...generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."*
+
+## The Constitutional Path
+
+If Crimson Leaf Holdings genuinely needs an **affiliate intelligence and review publishing capability**, the correct process is:
+
+1. **Genesis Protocol activation**: Crimson Leaf should incubate a **sovereign Tenant** (e.g., "Affiliate Review Labs" or similar) with:
+   - Narrow market focus: affiliate-based review publishing for a specific niche
+   - Independent CEO, charter, and budget
+   - Responsibility for site architecture, content production, and monetization
+
+2. **Temporary research support** (if needed *today*): A specialized Tenant or deterministic tool could research a niche, but the *execution* (site setup, ongoing reviews, affiliate management) must be delegated to the purpose-built Tenant.
+
+---
+
+## Question for Clarification
+
+**Are you asking me to:**
+- **(A)** Design and charter a new affiliate-focused Tenant (Genesis Protocol)?
+- **(B)** Conduct a *one-time* niche research brief to inform Tenant design (legitimate)?
+- **(C)** Perform ongoing affiliate review content work (violates charter)?
+
+Please clarify the request, and I'll proceed within constitutional bounds.
