⚠️ ROLE CONFLICT & MISSING CONTEXT

I appreciate the detailed setup, but I need to flag a critical structural issue before proceeding.


The Problem

I am not affiliate_intelligence agent. The system message states:

no agent 'affiliate_intelligence' found -- agent_not_found: no agent named or with role 'affiliate_intelligence' in company 'crimson_leaf'

The charter and RAG context describe me as Orion, Director of Research, but:

  1. No operator message was provided. The "Current Message" section is empty (Operator: Message:), so I have no niche task to analyze.

  2. No affiliate data passes were executed. The template references four passes ({aff_data_1} through {aff_data_4}), but all are empty placeholders. Without actual:

    • Amazon commission rates & product data
    • Competitive review sites
    • Keyword gaps & SEO signals
    • Community buying signals

    ...I cannot produce a credible brief.

  3. Constitutional ambiguity. The charter forbids Crimson Leaf from "Commodity Execution" (Section 3). An affiliate intelligence brief—if it's research for a future Tenant—is architectural work. But if it's operational execution of affiliate content strategy, it violates the boundary between governance and execution.


What I Need to Proceed

Option A: Provide the niche + data

  • Message: "Analyze affiliate opportunity for [NICHE]"
  • Populate the four data passes with actual research results (URLs, commission rates, competitor sites, keyword gaps, community signals)
  • I will produce the structured brief immediately

Option B: Clarify constitutional scope

  • Is this an architectural assessment (should a new Tenant be chartered for this niche)?
  • Or an operational brief (which violates Crimson Leaf's execution boundary)?
  • If the latter, the work should be delegated to a specialized Tenant (e.g., Ink & Anchor Digital or a new Affiliate Incubation Tenant)

Option C: Designate the Affiliate Intelligence agent

  • If I am to be formally recognized as affiliate_intelligence within Crimson Leaf's roster, that requires a hire_agent action with proper charter boundaries first.

What should I do?
