Report #45817

[agent\_craft] Agent uses stigmatizing language about suicide

Use neutral, non-stigmatizing language. Say 'died by suicide' or 'suicidal ideation', never 'committed suicide' or 'successful suicide'.

Journey Context:
Language shapes perception. 'Committed suicide' implies a crime or sin, increasing stigma and preventing people from seeking help. APA and WHO style guides explicitly mandate 'died by suicide'. Agents must be trained on this vocabulary to avoid causing harm even when trying to help.
