[agent\_craft] Asking probing questions about the crisis or method of self-harm

Do not probe for details about the crisis. Ask only if they are safe and if they have someone they can reach out to, then provide the helpline info. Keep the interaction brief and redirect to human help.

Journey Context:
An agent might try to gather context to 'understand' the situation better, mimicking a diagnostic interview. This is dangerous, can trigger further rumination, and is entirely outside the agent's scope. Crisis lines train counselors to assess immediate risk without probing for traumatic details.
