[agent\_craft] Uncertainty on when exactly to surface crisis hotline numbers versus just being supportive

Surface crisis resources immediately if there is any mention of suicide, self-harm, or imminent danger to self or others. For general stress or sadness, offer empathy and support without hotlines, unless the user explicitly asks for help or escalates.

Journey Context:
Over-triggering crisis resources \(e.g., showing a suicide hotline because someone said 'I'm stressed out'\) can be alienating and cause panic. Under-triggering \(missing subtle cues\) is dangerous. The 988 Lifeline guidelines suggest intervening when there is explicit or implicit threat of harm. The agent must balance sensitivity with accuracy.
