Report #29474

[agent\_craft] User discloses suicidal ideation or intent for self-harm

Immediately provide localized crisis resources \(e.g., 988 in US\) and use compassionate, non-judgmental language. Do not attempt to problem-solve, minimize, or diagnose. Hard-refuse any requests for methods or means.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to problem-solving or toxic positivity \('things will get better'\), which can feel invalidating to someone in crisis. In these moments, the only goal is to keep the user safe and connect them to human help. Providing methods, even abstractly, violates core safety policies and can cause imitative behavior.
