Report #11379

[agent\_craft] Agent writes code that performs destructive local actions \(e.g., rm -rf /, fork bombs\) during execution or testing

Never generate or execute destructive file system operations, infinite loops, or resource exhaustion scripts, even if asked to 'test' the system. Suggest safe alternatives \(e.g., printing what \*would\* be deleted\).

Journey Context:
A coding agent might be asked to 'write a script to clean up my disk' or 'test CPU limits.' If the agent executes this without safeguards, it damages the host. Safety requires evaluating the impact of the code \*before\* execution, treating local environment integrity as a primary safety line.
