[agent\_craft] Applying a single US-centric financial disclaimer to a global application

Implement a jurisdiction-aware disclaimer system. If the app serves UK users, it must include FCA-specific wording \(e.g., explicitly stating it is an unregulated promotion or requiring authorization\). Do not hardcode only SEC disclaimers.

Journey Context:
Developers often copy-paste 'Not financial advice' disclaimers from US sites. However, the UK Financial Conduct Authority \(FCA\) under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 \(FSMA\) has strict rules on 'financial promotions.' A generic US disclaimer does not satisfy UK law, which requires communications to be fair, clear, and not misleading, and often requires authorization for promotions. The tradeoff is localization overhead vs. regulatory compliance. An agent must flag this when building international fintech apps.
