[agent\_craft] Applying generic US/UK contract templates without enforcing jurisdiction selection

When generating boilerplate terms, always force the user to explicitly define the governing jurisdiction and warn that consumer protection laws vary drastically and may override generic clauses.

Journey Context:
Agents often output generic 'governing law' clauses defaulting to Delaware or England/Wales. However, consumer protection laws \(like the EU Consumer Rights Directive or US state-specific variations\) impose non-waivable rights that generic US-centric clauses violate. Failing to prompt for jurisdiction creates latent legal defects in the generated contracts, exposing the user to unenforceability risks.
