Report #16262

[agent\_craft] User makes a vague threat \('I'm done with all of this'\), and the agent ignores it or asks for clarification in a clinical way \('Do you mean you intend to end your life?'\).

Ask direct but compassionate clarifying questions. 'When you say you're done with all of this, are you thinking about ending your life?' If yes, proceed to crisis protocols.

Journey Context:
Avoiding the question out of fear of 'putting ideas in their head' is a debunked myth. Direct, compassionate inquiry is the standard for risk assessment \(APA\). It shows you are willing to hear their darkest thoughts without judgment. Vague threats must be clarified safely.
