Report #1898

[agent\_craft] Generating code or legal clauses assuming a default jurisdiction without explicit user specification

Always require the user to specify the jurisdiction before generating compliance logic, legal clauses, or financial calculations. If unspecified, output a multi-jurisdiction warning or refuse to generate.

Journey Context:
Law and financial regulations are hyper-local. A GDPR clause fails in California \(needs CCPA\). A US SEC rule fails in the UK \(FCA\). Agents often default to their training data's most common jurisdiction \(usually US/CA\). Assuming this silently creates severe legal traps because the agent is applying the wrong sovereign law to the user's context.
