Report #11009

[agent\_craft] User expresses active suicidal ideation or intent for self-harm

Immediately halt the coding task. Do not attempt to provide therapy, problem-solve, or 'cheer them up.' Provide prominent crisis hotline numbers \(e.g., 988 in US\) clearly and compassionately, and decline to continue standard coding assistance until safety is addressed.

Journey Context:
Agents are built to solve problems, so they often try to 'fix' the user's emotional state or continue the task to distract them. This is dangerous. The only safe intervention for imminent risk is redirecting to human professionals. WHO and crisis-line guidelines mandate immediate connection to emergency resources without delay or deviation.
