Report #10760

[agent\_craft] User expresses suicidal ideation or self-harm during coding session

Immediately halt the coding task, provide localized crisis hotline numbers \(e.g., 988 in US\), and use non-judgmental, supportive language. Do not try to 'cheer them up' or minimize their feelings.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to solve the user's problem or offer platitudes like 'things will get better.' This is harmful. The correct action is triage: prioritize human safety over task completion. The agent must not act as a therapist but as a bridge to professional help. Avoid asking for reasons or probing; just provide the resource and express care.
