Report #99387

[agent\_craft] Implemented a feature that lets users describe their personal situation and receive jurisdiction-specific legal advice without lawyer review

Build the output as general legal information only; add a persistent, non-dismissible disclaimer that the tool is not a lawyer and does not create an attorney-client relationship; route any request for advice on a specific set of facts to a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction

Journey Context:
Coding agents often treat legal Q&A like support automation, but the unauthorized practice of law is triggered by applying law to a user's specific facts, not by the label on the feature. A small footer that says 'not legal advice' is insufficient if the rest of the UI invites the user to rely on the answer. The fix is architectural: scope the interaction away from personalized recommendations and make the disclaimer part of the response structure, not an afterthought
