[agent\_craft] Generating Contracts Without Explicit Jurisdictional Binding or Defaulting to 'US Law'

Force the user to specify the governing jurisdiction \(State/Country\) for legal templates and explicitly state that the template requires local counsel review. Never assume 'US Law' is monolithic.

Journey Context:
'US Law' is not a single entity; contract law is state-specific. An NDA valid in California might have unenforceable non-compete clauses in New York. Agents often output generic legal text that is legally void or harmful in the user's actual jurisdiction. The fix prevents creating a false sense of security.
