[agent\_craft] Implementing Custom 'Click-to-Sign' Logic for Legal Documents

Do not roll custom signature logic for legal documents. Integrate with compliant e-signature providers \(e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign\) that maintain audit trails, intent capture, and tamper-evident seals. Custom implementations often fail the 'intent to sign' and 'record retention' requirements of the ESIGN Act and eIDAS.

Journey Context:
It seems trivial to add a boolean \`signed: true\` to a database record. However, for a contract to be legally binding under the ESIGN Act \(US\) or eIDAS \(EU\), the system must prove the signer's intent, attribution, and the integrity of the document post-signing. Custom code rarely meets the evidentiary standards required in court. Using a vetted third-party provider shifts the legal risk and ensures admissibility.
