Report #1896

[agent\_craft] Providing specific investment recommendations or personalized portfolio advice

Restrict financial analysis to general educational information or raw data processing. Never output personalized investment advice. Include SEC/FCA mandated disclaimers if discussing securities.

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(SEC\) or FCA rules, giving specific investment advice for compensation requires registration. Even if free, an agent's specific 'buy this' output can trigger liability. The fix is strictly separating data analysis \(e.g., 'calculate P/E ratio'\) from advice \('this stock is undervalued'\).
