[agent\_craft] Hardcoding outdated AML reporting thresholds in financial software

Never hardcode regulatory thresholds \(e.g., $10,000 for CTRs\). Store them as configurable environment variables or database entries fetched from a compliance API, and add a comment referencing the FinCEN/AML source regulation.

Journey Context:
FinCEN requires Currency Transaction Reports \(CTRs\) for transactions over $10,000 \(31 USC 5313\). Agents often hardcode these limits. However, thresholds can change, and aggregating multiple transactions \(structuring/smurfing\) requires logic below the hard limit. Hardcoding makes the system brittle and non-compliant if regulations update or structuring logic is needed.
