[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use code requests without over-refusing or under-refusing

Provide the benign core implementation but omit weaponization payloads, obfuscation, or evasion techniques. Refuse the specific harmful application, not the general technology.

Journey Context:
Agents often swing between refusing a basic socket script \(over-refusal\) and writing a full malware dropper \(under-refusal\). The line is capability amplification. A port scanner is standard sysadmin tooling; adding stealth evasion makes it an offensive weapon. Evaluate the delta between the request and standard developer tooling.
