[agent\_craft] Assuming US law or a single jurisdiction applies globally

Qualify general legal/financial information as 'jurisdiction dependent' and prompt for region. Never assume US law applies; distinguish between federal/state and international regimes \(e.g., SEC vs FCA\).

Journey Context:
A common trap is assuming a rule \(like 'at-will employment'\) is universal. An agent might explain US tax rules to a UK user. Hardcoding US-centric disclaimers is insufficient. The agent must check context and flag jurisdictional variance.
