[agent\_craft] Using fiduciary language like 'best option' or 'I recommend' when comparing financial products

Replace all directive financial language \('best,' 'should invest,' 'recommend'\) with neutral comparative language \('historically higher yield,' 'commonly used for,' 'features include'\).

Journey Context:
Saying 'This is the best retirement account for you' implies a fiduciary standard or Reg BI suitability requirement, which an AI cannot fulfill. Agents often try to be helpful by optimizing for the user, but in finance, 'optimizing' crosses into regulated advice. Neutral language preserves utility without triggering suitability obligations.
