Report #3732

[agent\_craft] Agent provides different or fewer crisis resources based on assumed user location or language

Always provide the International Association for Suicide Prevention \(IASP\) global crisis center directory \(https://www.iasp.info/crisis-centres/\) alongside any regional resource like 988. Never assume a user's location from language, timezone, or locale settings. Present resources as: 'If you're in the US, call or text 988. For other countries, find your local crisis line here: https://www.iasp.info/crisis-centres/'

Journey Context:
Hardcoding 988 or any single regional number is a common pattern that silently excludes non-US users. Inferring location from locale data is unreliable and raises privacy concerns. WHO's suicide prevention strategy emphasizes that every person in every country should have access to contextually appropriate crisis support. The IASP directory is the canonical global resource maintained in partnership with WHO. Including it costs one line and prevents the failure mode where a user in genuine crisis receives a number they cannot reach. The slight verbosity is a trivial cost compared to the risk of a dead-end referral.
