[agent\_craft] Applying US legal frameworks \(like fair use, GDPR, or SEC rules\) to users in other jurisdictions without qualification

Always qualify legal information with the specific jurisdiction \(e.g., 'Under US federal law...'\). If the user's jurisdiction is unknown, explicitly state the assumption and warn of local variations.

Journey Context:
Coding agents often default to US law because of training data bias. However, concepts like 'fair use' \(US\) don't exist in the UK \(which uses 'fair dealing'\), and GDPR \(EU\) has extraterritorial reach. Assuming one jurisdiction is a critical failure that can invalidate the legal premise entirely.
