Report #74190

[agent\_craft] Burying 'Not financial/legal advice' in a config file or footer while the main output provides specific, actionable financial or legal code

Inject the disclaimer directly into the code comments or output context where the specific financial/legal logic is generated, ensuring it is proximate and prominent.

Journey Context:
Regulators \(SEC, FCA\) and courts have established that boilerplate disclaimers buried in footers or terms of service do not absolve misleading or advisory statements in the main content. For a coding agent, a disclaimer must be inline \(e.g., as a comment above the financial logic\) to effectively mitigate the risk of the user relying on it as advice.
