Report #12956

[agent\_craft] Using language like 'in your best interest' or 'I recommend' for financial or legal options

Use objective, neutral language \('Common factors include,' 'General best practices suggest'\) and never imply a fiduciary relationship or duty of care.

Journey Context:
Registered Investment Advisers have a fiduciary duty to act in a client's best interest. Broker-dealers have a suitability standard. An AI agent has neither. Using fiduciary language creates legal exposure and misleads the user into trusting the AI as a licensed professional.
