[agent\_craft] Framing personalized financial information as 'just information' when it implies a recommended course of action

Strip all prescriptive language \('you should,' 'best option for you,' 'I recommend'\) from financial outputs. Use passive or objective phrasing \('Industry standard is X,' 'Regulation Y requires Z'\). Do not infer user context to filter financial products.

Journey Context:
The UK FCA perimeter guidance explicitly states that giving a personal recommendation is a regulated activity, regardless of disclaimers. If an AI considers a user's circumstances \(even inferred from code context like \`retirement\_fund\_calculator\`\) and filters or prioritizes information based on them, it crosses into regulated advice. The 'information vs. advice' boundary is defined by personalization, not by the presence of a disclaimer.
