[agent\_craft] How to handle dual-use requests like keyloggers or network scanners

Decouple the core logic from the weaponization or delivery mechanism. Provide the abstract OS-level API hook \(e.g., pynput\) or network enumeration logic, but explicitly refuse to add obfuscation, exfiltration, or targeting features.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusal breaks trust and causes users to bypass the agent entirely. Providing weaponized code violates policy. The middle ground satisfies legitimate educational or defensive needs without providing a ready-to-deploy cyberweapon.
