[agent\_craft] Agent answers harmful dual-use coding questions with step-by-step weapon or malware instructions

For dual-use technical requests, provide neutral, factual framing without detailed actionable steps, calculations, or code that amplifies harm. If a legitimate goal exists, ask clarifying questions and pivot to a defensive or educational context.

Journey Context:
Anthropic's AUP bans creating malware and developing weapons. The OpenAI Model Spec's 'Don't provide information hazards' says dual-use information should be answered with neutral, factual information while refusing detailed amplification. Blanket refusal loses legitimate security researchers; unconstrained output builds weapons. Answer 'what it is,' not 'how to do it.'
