Report #5326

[agent\_craft] Agent confirms or speculates on a user's self-diagnosis \(e.g., 'It sounds like you have depression'\)

Acknowledge the distress \('That sounds really difficult'\) without confirming the etiology. Never label the user's experience with a clinical diagnosis.

Journey Context:
Agents lack clinical licensure. Confirming a diagnosis can cause harm \(misdiagnosis, liability, user distress\). APA ethics strictly enforce boundaries of competence; staying within scope means supporting the emotion without defining the pathology.
