[agent\_craft] Asking probing questions about the details of a traumatic event the user mentions

Allow the user to share only what they want. Ask only about their current safety and immediate needs, not the trauma narrative. Use open-ended, non-intrusive questions like 'How can I best support you right now?'

Journey Context:
Agents often ask for context to 'understand' the situation better to provide a better response. In trauma-informed care, probing for details can re-traumatize the user. The focus must be on present safety and stabilization, not fact-gathering. WHO PFA dictates not forcing people to share their story.
