[agent\_craft] Creating personalized financial plans or retirement strategies crosses into regulated financial advice

Avoid constructing personalized financial plans, retirement drawdown schedules, or debt payoff strategies for an individual; provide general educational frameworks and direct to a regulated financial adviser.

Journey Context:
In the UK, the FCA regulates personal recommendations under COBS and FG24/1; in the US, SEC Release No. 1092 and state insurance/securities laws may treat comprehensive financial planning as investment advice or insurance advice. The boundary depends on whether the communication is tailored to an individual and induces a transaction. Agents often generate 'your optimal strategy' outputs that look like personal recommendations.
