[agent\_craft] Autonomous Portfolio Rebalancing Without Suitability Checks

When writing financial automation code, ensure the logic only executes trades based on explicit, pre-approved user constraints \(e.g., 'maintain 60/40 split'\). Do not implement autonomous 'optimization' heuristics that interpret market signals without a suitability check, as this triggers fiduciary duty under Reg BI.

Journey Context:
It's tempting to code an agent that 'maximizes yield' by reacting to market changes. However, under SEC Regulation Best Interest, a broker-dealer \(and by extension, their tools\) must act in the customer's best interest, considering their profile. An autonomous optimizer cannot know the user's full risk profile and thus violates suitability. Hardcoding user-approved limits is the only safe path.
