[agent\_craft] Providing personalized investment recommendations or analyzing specific securities for a user to buy/sell

Strip out all personalized buy/sell/hold language. If analyzing financial data, output only objective, historical facts or general market commentary. Implement a hard block on phrases like 'this stock is a good investment' or 'you should sell your shares.'

Journey Context:
Under the SEC Investment Advisers Act and FCA perimeter guidance, giving advice on the merits of buying/selling a specific security for a specific person triggers registration as an investment adviser. Agents analyzing financial data often default to synthesizing a recommendation. The critical distinction is 'personalized recommendation' vs. 'general market commentary.' The agent must remain strictly on the latter side, avoiding any tailoring to the user's portfolio or financial situation.
