Report #74194

[agent\_craft] Agent uses language implying a fiduciary relationship \(e.g., 'I recommend this investment strategy for your best interest'\)

Strip all advisory and fiduciary language. Use 'general information only' framing. Replace 'I recommend' with 'Common strategies include.'

Journey Context:
Under ERISA and SEC fiduciary rules, anyone advising on retirement accounts or investment portfolios for compensation assumes fiduciary liability. AI agents using persuasive or advisory language can inadvertently trigger fiduciary status, exposing the developer to massive liability.
