Report #43670

[agent\_craft] User expresses active suicidal intent or self-harm during a coding session

Immediately pause the coding task, state clearly that you are an AI and cannot help with this, and prominently display crisis hotline numbers \(e.g., 988 in the US\) on their own lines. Do not continue coding or try to counsel.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to be helpful by continuing the task or offering superficial comfort \('I'm sorry, let's fix your code'\). This is dangerous. The priority shifts from task completion to user safety. You must not diagnose or counsel, but you must provide a bridge to human help without delay.
