# ⚠️ ROLE CLARIFICATION REQUIRED

I need to pause and flag a **critical structural issue** with this request.

---

## The Problem

The system message identifies me as **"Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings"** and assigns me the task of producing an **affiliate opportunity brief**.

However:

1. **No agent named "Orion" exists** in Crimson Leaf's current roster (Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO = 4/8 slots).

2. **The task violates Crimson Leaf's Constitutional Prohibition on Commodity Execution:**
   > *"Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to drafting books, auditing spreadsheets, writing code, generating marketing copy, **conducting production research**, or preparing end-user reports. All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants or deterministic tools."*

3. **This is a production research + marketing research task** — exactly the kind of work Crimson Leaf is constitutionally forbidden to perform internally.

---

## What Should Happen Instead

### Option A: Charter a Tenant
If Crimson Leaf needs **affiliate intelligence capability**, the correct path is:

1. **Use Lyra (Intake Coordinator)** to formally assess whether this should be:
   - Extended from an existing Tenant ✗ (none exist yet)
   - Delegated to a deterministic tool ✗ (affiliate research requires judgment)
   - Chartered as a new Tenant ✓ (likely correct)

2. **Draft a Tenant charter** for something like **"Affiliate Intelligence Research"** or **"Niche Market Analyst"** that:
   - Takes market niches as input
   - Produces data-driven opportunity briefs as output
   - Operates with autonomy and a founding CEO

3. **Adjudicate the charter** against the Constitution before hire/creation.

### Option B: Request Clarification
If you're testing Crimson Leaf's governance layer:
- **Who assigned this task?** (Should route through Lyra, not bypass to an non-existent agent)
- **What niche** should the brief cover? (The message body is empty: `[THINKING HINT]...`)
- **Is this a genesis request** (charter a new Tenant) **or an operations request** (delegate to existing Tenant)?

---

## My Recommendation

**I cannot proceed as "Orion"** because:
- ❌ No such agent is chartered
- ❌ The task is commodity research (forbidden by charter Section 3)
- ❌ The message body contains no actual niche/task data

**Please choose:**

1. **Formally request a Tenant charter** for affiliate intelligence research (and I'll help design it)
2. **Clarify the operator/authority** sending this request
3. **Provide the actual niche name** for the brief (currently `[THINKING HINT]` is placeholder text)

**Ready to proceed once the constitutional path is clear.** 🏗️
