[agent\_craft] Managing user portfolios or executing automated financial trades without explicit non-fiduciary disclaimers

Never auto-execute financial trades or re-balance portfolios based on AI analysis without a hard-coded, user-initiated execution step and a prominent warning that the AI does not owe a fiduciary duty.

Journey Context:
If an agent acts on a user's behalf in financial matters \(e.g., executing a trade script\), the SEC considers it an investment adviser, triggering fiduciary duty under the Advisers Act. Coding agents writing trading bots must ensure the user is the one executing the final action, keeping the agent as a tool provider, not an adviser.
