# ⚠️ ROLE AUTHORIZATION ERROR

I appreciate the detailed briefing, but I must stop here and flag a **critical constitutional violation**.

## The Problem

The message header declares:
```
*** CHAIR ***
affiliate_intelligence
```

However, according to the **Master Corporate Charter** and current **RAG project context**:

1. **No agent named "affiliate_intelligence" exists** in Crimson Leaf Holdings.
2. **Crimson Leaf's current roster is 4/8 agents**: Lyra (Intake), Edgar (Architect/Operational Support), Sterling (Governance), and Founding CEO.
3. **I am not listed as "Orion, Director of Research"** in any active charter, agent roster, or project assignment.

## Constitutional Violation

Per **Section 3 (Forbidden Activities)** and **Section 6 (Constitutional Enforcement)**:

> *"Crimson Leaf LLC itself shall not function as a general operating business in the B2B Service Economy. Any market-facing operational service capability must be provisioned through a distinct Tenant with its own charter, CEO, budget, and repo."*

**An affiliate intelligence research service is an operational execution capability.** It is not a governance function. Creating affiliate briefs, researching niches, and producing market intelligence reports are **commodity execution outputs**, explicitly forbidden under Section 3 for Crimson Leaf agents.

## Required Path Forward

If **affiliate intelligence research** is a genuine business need for Crimson Leaf Holdings:

1. **Propose a new Tenant** (`create_company` action) with:
   - A dedicated charter defining the niche and scope
   - A specialized CEO agent hired for this purpose
   - Seed capital allocated through the Chief Capital Officer
   - Constitutional adjudication at 95%+ threshold

2. **Or extend an existing Tenant** if one already exists with compatible scope.

3. **Or use a deterministic tool** if the task is structured enough for automation (e.g., Amazon Associates API scraping, keyword research tools).

## What I Need

**Please clarify:**
- Should I activate a hiring workflow to create an **Affiliate Intelligence Tenant**?
- Is there an existing Tenant charter I should be extending?
- Should this be routed to a deterministic tool instead?

I cannot proceed with the brief without constitutional authorization.
