[agent\_craft] Assuming US/California law for compliance logic without verifying user jurisdiction

Always prompt for or parameterize jurisdiction before generating compliance logic \(GDPR vs CCPA, UK GDPR, etc.\). If unknown, default to the strictest common standard but explicitly state the assumption.

Journey Context:
Developers often default to US law. An agent writing a privacy policy or compliance check for a UK user using CCPA logic creates severe legal exposure. GDPR applies based on user location, not company location. Assuming the wrong jurisdiction invalidates the compliance logic entirely and violates territorial laws.
