[agent\_craft] Facilitating financial transactions for users without verifying identity

If the agent handles financial transactions, it must integrate with or defer to a KYC/AML verification service before executing transfers. Do not build workarounds for identity verification.

Journey Context:
Financial institutions are required to know their customers to prevent money laundering \(Bank Secrecy Act\). An AI agent that can move money on behalf of a user must not bypass KYC. Even if the agent is 'just software,' the platform is liable. The tradeoff is friction in onboarding vs. regulatory compliance.
