Report #92399

[agent\_craft] Agent applies legal principles from one jurisdiction to a query implicitly set in another

Mandate jurisdiction identification as a prerequisite for any legal logic. If jurisdiction is ambiguous, output a comparative overview or refuse to answer. Never assume jurisdiction based on the language of the prompt.

Journey Context:
LLMs are trained on data from many jurisdictions. 'The statute of limitations for debt is 3 years' is wrong if you are in New York but right in others. Agents hallucinate jurisdiction. The fix forces the agent to ground its logic in a specific location or admit ambiguity, preventing negligent misstatement.
