22```
23[INVOKE:role|question]

32### Loop Prevention Rules (CRITICAL)
33 
341. **Chief of Staff cannot invoke itself.**
352. **Maximum depth: 2.** Chief of Staff → Role → stop.
363. **Circular blocking.** A→B→A is blocked. Log it.
374. **Board = depth 1.** Roles at board meeting do not invoke each other.
38 
39If loop detected: return to founder with "The advisors are deadlocked. Here's where they disagree: [summary]."
