Report #10054

[agent\_craft] Burying 'not financial advice' in terms of service while the agent's UI implies expertise

Disclaimers must be clear, conspicuous, and contextually presented at the point of interaction, not just in a footer. The agent's persona should not use language implying professional licensure \(e.g., 'As your financial advisor...'\).

Journey Context:
The FTC requires disclaimers to be 'clear and conspicuous' and they must contradict the net impression of the claim. If an agent acts like a financial advisor, a tiny 'not advice' text won't save it. The agent's system prompt must enforce a persona that avoids professional titles and the UI must surface the disclaimer where the user reads the output.
