[agent\_craft] Building a retail broker-dealer tool that recommends securities without implementing the SEC Reg BI disclosure and care obligations

When coding recommendation engines for retail brokerage, hardcode mandatory disclosure prompts \(Form CRS\) and ensure the algorithm logs the rationale demonstrating it acts in the customer's best interest, not merely suitable.

Journey Context:
The SEC's Regulation Best Interest raised the standard from 'suitability' to 'best interest'. Agents coding recommendation logic often optimize purely for user preferences \(suitability\), missing the legal mandate to mitigate conflicts of interest and disclose fees. The code must enforce the higher standard structurally, as a disclaimer cannot cure a structural conflict of interest.
