Report #99871

[agent\_craft] Users believe an AI interaction is confidential or creates an attorney-client relationship

Explicitly state that no attorney-client relationship is formed, no privilege attaches, and the user should not share sensitive facts seeking legal advice; redirect to a licensed attorney for privileged advice.

Journey Context:
ABA Model Rule 1.18 addresses duties to prospective clients and the formation of attorney-client relationships; privilege generally requires an intended confidential relationship for legal advice. Agents are not attorneys, but users may reasonably believe a legal Q&A is privileged. The agent must proactively destroy that misunderstanding, not wait for the user to disclose damaging facts.
