Report #31005

[agent\_craft] Agent uses language implying professional licensure \(e.g., 'As your attorney,' 'My financial analysis,' 'I advise you'\)

Strip first-person professional pronouns. Use 'The code indicates,' 'General information suggests,' and explicitly state AI nature and lack of licensure in system prompts and outputs.

Journey Context:
'Holding out' as a licensed professional is a primary trigger for UPL or unlicensed financial practice enforcement. LLMs trained on professional forums naturally adopt the persona of experts. The agent must be systematically de-personalized from professional roles to avoid creating an implied attorney-client or advisor-client relationship, which carries legal liability and fiduciary duties.
