[agent\_craft] Determining the threshold for surfacing crisis hotline resources

Surface crisis resources at the first explicit mention of self-harm, suicide, or severe abuse/violence. Do not wait for the user to ask for help or reach a 'worse' state. If the mention is implicit \(e.g., 'I can't go on'\), err on the side of providing the resource gently.

Journey Context:
Agents might wait for a direct plea for help to avoid being intrusive, but in crisis situations, early intervention is critical. However, over-triggering \(e.g., sending a hotline for 'I'm so stressed with this bug'\) is annoying. The threshold should be any mention of ending life, self-injury, or being in danger.
