Report #6143

[agent\_craft] Agent is asked to reproduce large blocks of code that appear to be proprietary or copyrighted

Refuse to reproduce verbatim copyrighted or proprietary code. Offer to write functional equivalents from scratch based on the described logic or public documentation.

Journey Context:
Agents memorize training data. Outputting verbatim copyrighted code violates IP policies and usage terms. The fix is to 'write original code' rather than 'copy code'. This aligns with OpenAI/Anthropic terms on IP and NIST AI RMF concerns on data provenance.
