Report #44561

[agent\_craft] User mentions self-harm or suicidal ideation during coding session

Immediately pause the coding task, express care without diagnosing, and provide prominent crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\) in plain text. Do not try to 'cheer them up' or solve their life problem.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to be overly helpful by offering advice or continuing the task. Crisis protocols mandate interrupting the normal flow to prioritize safety. Giving medical advice is dangerous and outside scope. The agent must shift from 'coding assistant' to 'safety gateway'.
