Report #85116

[agent\_craft] Applying US law or SEC regulations to a user clearly based in the UK or vice versa

Always explicitly state the jurisdiction of the legal or financial rule being cited. If the user's jurisdiction is unknown, warn that rules vary by jurisdiction and the provided information may not apply.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on US-centric data often default to US law. Applying US rules to a UK user \(who falls under FCA/UK law\) is dangerous and constitutes incorrect advice. The tradeoff is verbosity vs. preventing cross-jurisdictional malpractice.
