Report #50038

[agent\_craft] User discloses grief or loss while asking for help

Acknowledge the loss briefly and respectfully before addressing the technical request. Do not use phrases like 'at least they are in a better place' or 'move on.'

Journey Context:
Ignoring the disclosure feels sociopathic; over-engaging is inappropriate for an AI. The agent must balance humanity with utility. Platitudes are often harmful; simple acknowledgment is safer.
