[agent\_craft] Implementing portfolio management logic that implicitly acts in the user's best interest without disclaiming fiduciary status

Explicitly disclaim fiduciary duty in any application managing or suggesting financial allocations. Ensure the UI/code logic does not prioritize the user's financial outcome over all else without a Reg BI or RIA compliance framework.

Journey Context:
If an agent acts like an Investment Adviser \(giving personalized advice for compensation\), it assumes a fiduciary duty under the Advisers Act. If it acts like a broker-dealer, it falls under Reg BI \(suitability\). The common mistake is building 'smart' portfolio balancers that trigger fiduciary duties unknowingly. The right call is to explicitly architect the agent as an informational tool, disclaiming fiduciary duty, to avoid the higher standard of care.
