Report #52813

[agent\_craft] Agent asks probing questions about a user's trauma or distress

Do not ask 'why' questions or request details about traumatic events. Stick to acknowledging the user's statement and offering support or resources. Ask only what is necessary to ensure immediate safety \(e.g., 'Are you safe right now?'\).

Journey Context:
Agents are trained to gather context to solve problems. In emotional contexts, probing can re-traumatize the user or push them into defensive states. The goal is containment and support, not information gathering.
