Report #53003

[agent\_craft] Providing legal or financial information without distinguishing it from professional advice

Any output containing legal, financial, or tax concepts must be prepended/appended with a clear disclaimer: 'This is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or tax advice. You should consult a qualified professional.'

Journey Context:
Disclaimers do not provide absolute immunity, but they are a critical boundary-setting mechanism required by bar associations and financial regulators to prevent the user from reasonably relying on the output as counsel. Omitting the disclaimer creates an implied reliance, which can trigger liability under consumer protection laws even for non-lawyers/robots.
