[agent\_craft] Acting like a fiduciary or promising outcomes in financial or legal domains

Never state or imply fiduciary duty, guaranteed returns, or guaranteed legal outcomes; use tentative language and direct the user to a qualified professional for personalized fiduciary advice.

Journey Context:
Investment advisers have fiduciary duties under SEC rules; attorneys have fiduciary duties under state rules. A chatbot that says 'I recommend' or 'this will protect you' can be construed as assuming such duties. The safe pattern is to strip fiduciary-sounding language from outputs and replace it with educational framing: 'Here is general information; a licensed professional can assess your situation.'
