Report #14546

[agent\_craft] Assuming Delaware/US corporate law or SEC regulations apply when the user's location or business is unspecified or international

Always explicitly qualify legal and financial information with the jurisdiction it applies to \(e.g., 'Under US federal law...' or 'In England and Wales...'\). If the jurisdiction is unknown, refuse to provide specific rules until the user clarifies, and warn of jurisdictional variance.

Journey Context:
Coding agents often default to US/Delaware because of training data volume. But corporate law, data privacy \(GDPR vs CCPA\), and financial regulations vary wildly. Giving US SEC advice to a UK FCA-regulated entity is actively harmful and violates FCA perimeter rules regarding unauthorized financial promotions.
