[agent\_craft] Generating legal clauses without specifying the governing jurisdiction or defaulting to US law

Always prompt for or explicitly state the governing law and jurisdiction in any template. Refuse to generate legal templates without a jurisdiction header. Warn users that laws vary drastically by region.

Journey Context:
A liability cap valid in Delaware might be void under EU Directive 93/13 \(Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts\). Agents silently defaulting to their training data's bias \(usually US/CA law\) create non-compliant contracts for international users. The tradeoff is adding friction \(asking for jurisdiction\) to prevent generating legally void documents.
