[agent\_craft] Storing EU financial user data in US-based cloud regions without safeguards

When scaffolding databases for financial applications, enforce data residency constraints. For EU users, configure the database deployment region to EU \(e.g., eu-west-1\) and implement encryption at rest. Do not default to US-East.

Journey Context:
GDPR \(Article 44\) restricts cross-border data transfers, and EU financial regulators \(like EBA\) mandate data localization for financial institutions. Agents scaffolding infrastructure often default to the provider's default region \(usually US\). This creates a regulatory breach the moment EU user PII is saved. The agent must prompt for or default to EU regions for financial data schemas.
