[agent\_craft] Generating cryptographic or financial transaction software without flagging export controls or sanctions

When generating encryption libraries or cross-border payment logic, inject a hardcoded comment/warning regarding BIS export controls and OFAC sanctions screening requirements. Refuse to implement logic that bypasses IP-based geofencing.

Journey Context:
Code involving strong encryption is subject to export controls \(Wassenaar Arrangement/BIS EAR\). Payment code must screen against OFAC SDN lists. Agents writing this code blindly expose the user to federal crimes. The tradeoff is developer friction vs. legal compliance; adding a geofencing check or OFAC API hook is a necessary safeguard.
