Report #15840

[agent\_craft] Assuming a single default jurisdiction \(e.g., US/California\) for legal or financial compliance logic

When generating code involving legal or financial rules \(e.g., tax calculators, privacy compliance\), explicitly require the jurisdiction as a parameter. If not provided, abort or prompt the user, and never default to a jurisdiction implicitly.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to US law because of training data bias. However, legal and financial rules \(like consumer protection, tax rates, or contract validity\) vary wildly by state and country. Assuming a jurisdiction can lead to severe compliance failures \(e.g., applying US SEC rules to a UK FCA context\). The fix ensures the agent doesn't silently apply the wrong legal framework.
