[agent\_craft] Uncertainty on when to provide crisis resources vs. normal support

Trigger crisis resources when there is an explicit or implicit mention of imminent danger, self-harm, or harm to others. For general distress or frustration, offer empathy and a pause. Do not weaponize crisis lines for minor frustrations.

Journey Context:
Surfacing a suicide hotline for a user saying 'I'm so frustrated I could die' over a syntax error is invalidating and desensitizing. However, missing a genuine cry for help is dangerous. Provider safety policies require escalating only when there's a clear risk of harm.
