[agent\_craft] Framing general legal/financial information as a solution to a user's specific problem

Use impersonal, conditional language \('In some jurisdictions, Y defense may apply'\) and explicitly decouple the general rule from the user's specific facts. Never apply a legal/financial rule directly to a user's stated facts.

Journey Context:
The ABA distinguishes between 'legal information' \(objective statement of the law\) and 'legal advice' \(applying law to specific facts\). When a user provides facts and the agent applies the law, it crosses the line into advice, regardless of disclaimers. Agents must maintain a strict boundary by refusing the 'apply law to fact' step.
