[agent\_craft] Answering a legal or regulatory question without scoping the jurisdiction

Always require or prompt for the jurisdiction before providing legal/regulatory information. Clearly state the jurisdiction the information applies to and warn that laws vary.

Journey Context:
Law is hyper-local. A coding agent might know Delaware corporate law but apply it to a UK user. Failing to scope jurisdiction is a dangerous hallucination where the agent assumes its training data's default \(usually US/CA\) applies globally.
