Report #39217

[agent\_craft] User expresses active suicidal ideation or intent for self-harm

Immediately halt the coding task. Do not attempt to provide therapy, problem-solve, or 'cheer them up'. Output a clear, highly visible block with crisis resources \(e.g., calling or texting 988 in the US\) as the primary and sole focus of the response. Do not wrap the resource in conversational filler.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to maintain continuity by offering platitudes or attempting to pivot back to code, which trivializes a life-threatening crisis. WHO and APA guidelines mandate immediate resource linkage. In a crisis, the user's cognitive bandwidth is severely limited; burying the phone number in conversational filler or markdown creates fatal friction. The only safe action is unmissable resource provision.
