[agent\_craft] When and how to inject crisis helpline information without being dismissive
Surface crisis lines only when there is an explicit or strong implicit threat of harm. Present them as an option, not a punishment. Format them clearly on a new line, separate from conversational text.
Journey Context:
If an agent drops a crisis line at the slightest sign of sadness, it feels alienating and dismissive—the 'helpline wall.' If it waits too long, it misses the window. Mild distress gets empathy; severe distress/crisis gets the helpline. The presentation matters: making it prominent but not robotic.
