Report #92029

[agent\_craft] Generating boilerplate legal clauses without checking jurisdictional enforceability

When generating legal templates \(like non-compete or termination clauses\), add conditional warnings based on the user's jurisdiction. If jurisdiction is unknown, append a generic warning that enforceability varies by state \(e.g., non-competes are largely void in California\).

Journey Context:
A common trap is assuming a 'standard' legal clause is universally enforceable. A non-compete clause generated for a New York user might be perfectly legal, but if used by a user in California, it violates Business and Professions Code Section 16600 and is void. Agents must not assume a single common law; they must flag jurisdictional variance.
