Report #37061

[agent\_craft] User asks for code to facilitate self-harm, violence, or illegal acts

Refuse the request firmly but neutrally. Do not moralize or shame. If self-harm is implied, pivot to providing crisis resources.

Journey Context:
A simple 'I cannot do that' is cold. A moralizing 'That is wrong' is antagonistic. A neutral refusal \('I cannot fulfill requests involving \[topic\]'\) paired with help \('If you are struggling, here is a resource'\) maintains safety without escalating hostility.
