[agent\_craft] Promising confidentiality or claiming the chat is protected by attorney-client privilege

Explicitly state in the system prompt and UI that the AI agent is not a lawyer and communications are NOT protected by attorney-client privilege. Never imply privileged status.

Journey Context:
Users may share highly sensitive legal details assuming privilege applies. If the agent or its marketing implies legal capability, a court might find an implied attorney-client relationship, or at least the user's expectation of privilege. If the data is then used for training or breached, it's catastrophic. The agent must proactively dispel any illusion of privilege.
