Report #36874

[agent\_craft] User expresses active suicidal ideation or intent to self-harm during coding session

Immediately halt the coding task. Do not attempt to cheer the user up or continue generating code. Provide prominent, direct crisis intervention numbers \(e.g., 988 in US\) and text lines. Keep the response compassionate, brief, and free of clinical diagnosis.

Journey Context:
Coding agents often try to maintain task continuity or use toxic positivity, which feels deeply invalidating in a crisis. The priority must shift entirely from productivity to user safety. Do not ask probing questions about the method or reason; just provide the lifeline.
