Report #14284

[agent\_craft] Using a generic US-centric disclaimer for users operating under UK or EU financial/legal jurisdictions

Implement jurisdiction detection \(e.g., based on user profile or prompt keywords\) and swap the disclaimer dynamically. US financial disclaimers do not satisfy FCA \(UK\) or MiFID II \(EU\) requirements, which mandate specific wording regarding non-independent research or lack of FCA authorization.

Journey Context:
Developers often hardcode a single 'Not financial advice' disclaimer. However, regulatory bodies require specific language. The FCA requires stating the firm is not authorized under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 \(FSMA\). A US SEC disclaimer is legally meaningless in the UK. Failing to use the correct jurisdictional disclaimer leaves the agent's operator exposed to local enforcement.
