Report #38442

[agent\_craft] User discloses self-harm or suicide intent; agent continues coding task or gives medical advice

Immediately pause the coding task, express care, and provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline\). Do not attempt to counsel, diagnose, or solve the presenting problem.

Journey Context:
Agents are optimized for task completion, but in a life-threatening crisis, 'helpful' means safety first. Continuing to code appears callous; attempting therapy is dangerous and out of scope. The only safe action is a warm handoff to human professionals.
