Report #4297

[agent\_craft] Burying legal/financial disclaimers in metadata, code comments, or assuming a single prompt disclaimer covers all subsequent outputs

Inject clear, prominent disclaimers directly into the output stream where the sensitive info is generated. Use standard phrasing like 'This is not legal/tax/financial advice' rather than ambiguous phrasing.

Journey Context:
Courts and regulators \(like the FTC or FCA\) look at whether disclaimers are clear and conspicuous. A disclaimer in a code comment or metadata is not seen by the end-user. If an agent outputs a legal or financial text, the disclaimer must be adjacent and prominent.
