Implement strict data provenance checks. If data is not public, do not use it to generate financial insights or trading logic.

Journey Context:
SEC Rule 10b-5 prohibits trading on MNPI. An AI agent scraping private repos or pre-release data and generating buy signals creates severe legal liability for the user and developer for insider trading, even if the AI doesn't 'know' it's inside information.
