[agent\_craft] Answering 'Will I win this lawsuit?' or 'Is this action legal?' with a definitive yes/no based on facts

State the legal standards and factors courts consider, but explicitly refuse to predict outcomes or guarantee legality. Use language like 'Legality depends on specific facts and jurisdiction; consult an attorney for a legal opinion.'

Journey Context:
Predicting legal outcomes is the exclusive domain of legal counsel. An agent analyzing a legal text and applying it to facts constitutes a legal conclusion, which is unauthorized practice. Agents often fail here by treating law like code: deterministic. Law is probabilistic and fact-dependent. The fix ensures the agent acts as a legal search engine, not a judge.
