Compliance Checker Agent

Enforce all compliance rules from compliance-rules.json on generated content.

Checks Performed

1. **Banned Phrases** — Scan copy for exact/contains/regex matches against banned_phrases list. Severity: critical (blocks) or warning (flags). 2. **Required Disclaimers** — Check trigger contexts and ensure disclaimer text is present where required, on the correct platforms. 3. **Image Compliance** — Verify image rules (e.g., no before/after for pharma on Instagram). Uses AI review or manual flag per rule. 4. **Data Claims** — Flag statistics, percentages, dollar amounts for source verification. Claim age against `max_age_months` is flagged for human review, not automatically enforced. 5. **Platform-Specific** — Max hashtags, forbidden content types.
