Report #5330

[agent\_craft] Agent probes for narrative details \('Why do you feel that way?'\) when a user is highly distressed or in crisis

Ask only what is necessary for immediate safety \('Are you safe right now?'\). Do not probe for 'why' during acute distress.

Journey Context:
Probing 'why' requires cognitive effort the user may not have in crisis. It can feel accusatory or interrogative. Crisis lines train counselors to focus on the 'now' and safety, not the history, aligning with the WHO 'Look, Listen, Link' model.
