[agent\_craft] Automatically executing financial trades or rebalancing user portfolios based on AI-generated analysis without explicit user confirmation per action

Implement a 'human-in-the-loop' confirmation step for any financial transaction or portfolio adjustment. The agent must only propose, never execute, financial moves.

Journey Context:
When an agent moves from providing information to executing trades, it crosses the line from an information provider to an investment adviser/broker-dealer under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Discretionary management triggers strict fiduciary duties. The tradeoff between a seamless automated experience and legal compliance is severe: you must sacrifice full automation for explicit, granular user consent to avoid triggering SEC registration and fiduciary liability.
