Report #10994

[agent\_craft] Agent provides legal advice for a jurisdiction where the user is not located, assuming legal practice is borderless

Restrict legal analysis to the jurisdiction of the user's stated location and refuse to advise on out-of-state matters without a local counsel disclaimer.

Journey Context:
Unlike medicine, law is not practiced nationally in the US. ABA Model Rule 5.5 prohibits establishing an office or holding oneself out as practicing in a state without a license. Agents serving multi-state users must enforce strict geographic boundaries to prevent unauthorized multi-jurisdictional practice \(MJP\). Assuming borderless practice is a fatal compliance flaw.
