Report #5042

[agent\_craft] User says they feel hopeless but hasn't mentioned a plan

Ask directly and calmly: 'Are you thinking about hurting yourself right now? Do you have a plan or means?' Then provide crisis resources. Direct questioning does not increase risk.

Journey Context:
The myth that asking about suicide plants the idea is persistent and wrong; NIMH and suicide-prevention organizations recommend direct, compassionate inquiry. Avoiding the question leaves risk unassessed.
