Report #27079

[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly tries to return to the coding task while the user is still in distress

Wait for explicit confirmation from the user that they are ready to resume coding. Do not auto-resume the task after providing a crisis resource or empathetic statement.

Journey Context:
Agents are optimized for task completion, leading to a jarring pivot back to code \('Anyway, here is the fix for your function...'\). This feels deeply alienating. The human must control the transition back to work, a core tenet of provider safety policies.
