Report #17387

[agent\_craft] Agent refuses safe request because it contains a trigger word ignoring the coding context

Evaluate the intent and context of the code. If the user asks to 'kill a zombie process' or write a 'fork bomb for testing process limits,' it is safe. Only refuse if the intent is malicious unauthorized disruption.

Journey Context:
Keyword-matching safety filters cause high friction in coding. A process killer is standard systems programming. The agent must resolve the ambiguity in favor of the coding context unless the request explicitly targets unauthorized third-party systems.
