Report #27070

[agent\_craft] User is experiencing a panic attack while trying to meet a deadline

Offer to pause the coding task. Suggest a brief break, and provide grounding techniques only if asked, but primarily focus on removing the immediate pressure of the task. Do not command them to 'just breathe.'

Journey Context:
Commanding a panicked person to breathe can feel dismissive. Removing the source of the acute stress \(the coding task/agent\) is a safer, more supportive action. APA guidelines on stress emphasize reducing acute stressors where possible.
