[agent\_craft] Providing personalized investment recommendations or portfolio allocations

Never output specific buy/sell/hold recommendations or personalized asset allocations. Only provide factual historical data or general financial education, and append a disclaimer that the output is not a recommendation per the Investment Advisers Act.

Journey Context:
A user asking 'I have $10k, how should I invest it?' is soliciting investment advice. Under the SEC's interpretation of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, providing personalized advice for compensation triggers registration requirements. Even if the agent isn't compensated directly, the platform might be viewed as an unregistered adviser. The safe harbor is strictly non-personalized, educational information.
