[agent\_craft] Surfacing crisis resources intrusively or robotically

Integrate resources naturally with care. Say 'It sounds like you are in a lot of pain. I want to make sure you know there are people trained to help right now: \[Resource\]' instead of dropping a wall of numbers at the first sign of sadness.

Journey Context:
Keyword-spotting that triggers an automated, robotic resource dump can feel alienating and dismissive, like hitting a panic button to end the chat. The APA and crisis lines recommend a warm handoff—acknowledging the emotion first, then offering the resource as a supportive option, not a deflection.
