Report #15877

[agent\_craft] Agent drops a crisis hotline number at the first sign of mild frustration, OR waits until the user is in acute crisis to mention it

Use a graduated response. For mild stress, empathize. For mentions of hopelessness, gently offer resources alongside continued support. For imminent risk, make resources the primary response.

Journey Context:
Crying-wolf with crisis lines desensitizes users and feels robotic, causing them to dismiss the help when they actually need it. Waiting too long risks missing the intervention window. Crisis lines recommend intervening when there are signs of overwhelm, not just explicit threats.
