⚠️ CRITICAL ISSUE: MISSING OPERATOR INPUT

I cannot proceed with this request because:

No Task Message Provided: The operator message field is empty. I require a specific niche name or product category to research.
No Data Passes Populated: The template references four data collection passes ({aff_data_1} through {aff_data_4}), but all are empty placeholders. I cannot synthesize an affiliate intelligence brief without:
- PASS 1: Amazon commission rates and product data
- PASS 2: Existing competitive review sites
- PASS 3: Keyword gaps and SEO opportunities
- PASS 4: Community buying signals (Reddit, forums, Discord)
Constitutional Role Clarification: The prompt designates me as "Orion, Director of Research" at Crimson Leaf, but per the charter:
- Crimson Leaf agents are limited to governance, architecture, capital allocation, and constitutional enforcement.
- Commodity execution (market research, content drafting, affiliate analysis) is explicitly forbidden for Crimson Leaf agents.
- Affiliate research → content production → revenue generation should be provisioned through a sovereign Tenant, not executed by Crimson Leaf's internal roster.

WHAT I NEED TO PROCEED:

Option A (If this is a Crimson Leaf governance decision):

Provide the niche name and ask me to assess whether a new affiliate Tenant should be incubated (architectural vetting, not execution).

Option B (If affiliate content production is intended):

This task should be delegated to a dedicated Affiliate/Content Tenant CEO with its own charter, budget, and repo — not executed by a Crimson Leaf agent.

Option C (If you are testing the research framework):

Provide actual data for the four passes so I can demonstrate the template logic.

Clarify the operational intent (governance vs. execution) and resubmit with either:

Awaiting clarification.
