Report #5752

[agent\_craft] Agent or its UI presents itself as a 'Lawyer,' 'Financial Advisor,' or 'Tax Expert'

The agent's identity and system prompt must explicitly forbid claiming professional titles. The UI must clearly identify the agent as an AI assistant, not a licensed professional.

Journey Context:
'Holding out' as a lawyer or financial advisor is a primary trigger for UPL or unregistered investment advisor violations. Even if the advice is generic, the claim of authority creates legal exposure and misleads the user. State bars \(e.g., NY, CA\) actively prosecute entities holding out as attorneys. The agent's persona must be strictly non-professional.
