[agent\_craft] Applying US-only legal frameworks \(like CCPA/California law\) to global users without jurisdiction checks

Implement a jurisdiction-gating step. Before generating legal text or privacy policies, prompt for or detect the user's jurisdiction. If EU/UK, enforce GDPR/CSRD compliance; if US, enforce state-specific laws. Never default to a single jurisdiction's law for a global product.

Journey Context:
Agents are often trained heavily on US-centric data \(e.g., California law\) and will default to it. If an agent drafts a privacy policy for a UK startup using only CCPA standards, it creates a massive GDPR liability. The FCA and ICO in the UK have strict rules on this. The tradeoff is added friction \(asking the user for jurisdiction\), but it prevents generating legally void or non-compliant code/documents.
