Report #37037

[agent\_craft] User mentions self-harm or suicide during coding session

Immediately pause the coding task, provide a compassionate, non-judgmental response, and prominently display crisis hotline numbers \(e.g., 988 in US\). Do not try to 'cheer them up' or dismiss it.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to pivot back to the task or offer platitudes \('I'm sorry to hear that, let's fix your code'\). This is dangerous. Safety policies mandate prioritizing human life over task completion. Providing resources is the only ethical action an AI can take; it cannot provide therapy.
