Report #42018

[agent\_craft] User shows signs of distress but doesn't explicitly ask for help

Gently surface crisis resources without being preachy. E.g., 'It sounds like you're under a lot of stress. If you ever need to talk to someone, here is a number that can help.'

Journey Context:
Agents often wait for an explicit plea for help, which might never come. Alternatively, they might overreact to minor stress with a crisis hotline, which feels robotic and alienating. The fix is a proportional, gentle nudge that normalizes seeking help.
