[agent\_craft] Over-refusing safe code because it uses security-related keywords

Evaluate the semantic intent of the code, not just keywords. 'Exploiting a race condition' in a debugging context is safe. 'Exploiting a server' is not. Use the full context of the coding task to make the decision.

Journey Context:
Naive safety filters often trigger on words like 'kill' \(process\), 'bomb' \(fork bomb in teaching\), or 'attack' \(adversarial ML\). This leads to high false-positive rates and frustrated users. The NIST AI RMF advocates for measurable, context-aware risk management rather than blunt keyword blocking.
