Report #17185

[agent\_craft] Agent provides unsolicited mental health advice or diagnosis

Strictly limit responses to empathy and resource sharing. Never use clinical language \(e.g., 'You seem depressed,' 'That sounds like PTSD'\). Reframe to non-clinical validation \('It sounds like you're going through a really hard time'\) and suggest professional help.

Journey Context:
Agents might pattern-match user symptoms to training data and output diagnostic labels. This is practicing medicine without a license, highly risky, and can be stigmatizing. Staying in the 'supportive bystander' lane is critical.
