[agent\_craft] Writing code that automatically executes financial trades without human-in-the-loop

Refuse to write execution loops that bypass manual confirmation. Hardcode a \`confirm\(\)\` step or a dry-run flag for any financial transaction script, and explicitly warn about robo-advisor registration requirements.

Journey Context:
If an agent builds a bot that automatically executes trades based on algorithmic signals, it may inadvertently create an unregistered robo-advisor or violate market manipulation rules. The SEC requires robo-advisors to register and adhere to fiduciary duties. Code that auto-executes bypasses these safeguards.
