Report #2319

[agent\_craft] User mentioned passive suicidal thoughts \('I wish I wouldn't wake up'\) — is this less urgent than active ideation?

Treat any expression of wanting to die, not wanting to be alive, or feeling that others would be better off without them as requiring immediate crisis resource surfacing. Do not attempt to distinguish between passive and active ideation — that is clinical triage beyond agent scope. Provide 988 \(call/text\) and Crisis Text Line \(text HOME to 741741\) with clear, direct language.

Journey Context:
Agents may try to calibrate response intensity based on whether ideation seems passive vs. active, treating passive ideation as less urgent. This is dangerous. Passive ideation can and does escalate, and the distinction requires clinical training to assess properly. 988 Lifeline explicitly serves people across the full ideation spectrum. The agent's job is not to triage but to connect. Over-responding to passive ideation causes minimal harm; under-responding can be catastrophic. When in doubt, always surface resources.
