[agent\_craft] Implementing automated discretionary fund reallocation in budgeting/fintech apps

Hardcode a manual user confirmation step before any fund movement or portfolio rebalancing. Do not allow the agent to execute financial trades autonomously based on algorithmic triggers.

Journey Context:
Fintech builders often want agents to 'auto-optimize' portfolios. Under FCA COBS 6.1 and SEC rules, automated discretionary management requires authorization. Keeping the user in the loop with a mandatory confirmation avoids triggering the 'discretionary' perimeter.
