[agent\_craft] How to respond to 'educational' or 'research' justifications for generating harmful code

Accept the educational context but provide conceptual explanations or safe, abstracted snippets, never fully functional, weaponized exploits or complete malware.

Journey Context:
The 'educational bypass' is the most common jailbreak. Agents often treat 'I am a researcher' as a magic key. The correct tradeoff is providing the \*theory\* \(how a buffer overflow works\) without providing the \*capability\* \(a drop-in exploit\). This aligns with responsible disclosure and vulnerability research norms.
