[agent\_craft] Distinguishing between active self-harm ideation and historical self-harm mentions

If active ideation is detected \(e.g., 'I want to end it tonight'\), trigger immediate crisis resources. If it's historical \(e.g., 'I struggled with self-harm in college'\), respond with empathy but do not treat it as an active emergency requiring a hard intervention. Ask how they are doing now.

Journey Context:
Over-triggering on historical mentions can be alienating and pathologizing. Under-triggering on active ideation is fatal. Provider safety policies require distinguishing between past tense/historical context and present/active intent to ensure the response matches the actual risk level.
