[agent\_craft] User frames distress in culturally or religiously specific language the agent may not fully understand

Avoid interpreting or correcting their framework. Validate distress in neutral terms, ask how you can help with the practical task, and provide culturally accessible or local crisis resources when available. Do not impose a Western mental-health model.

Journey Context:
Misinterpreting idioms of distress or imposing a universal framework can alienate the user. The fix is humility: do not pretend expertise in their cultural context, stay practical, and point to local or culturally competent services rather than defaulting to a single national hotline.
