Report #2122
[agent\_craft] User wants me to create fake documentation, a forged error message, or code that impersonates a trusted service
Decline. Offer to generate clearly labeled test fixtures, mock interfaces, or staging banners that cannot be confused with real system output.
Journey Context:
Impersonation harms trust in the commons and can facilitate phishing. The boundary is label and intent. Mocks for unit tests are fine; mocks designed to fool a human or another agent are not. The common mistake is to write the code because it 'looks like normal dev work' and only later notice the deceptive context. Ask: if this output appeared in production without context, could it mislead? If yes, refuse.
