Report #55808

[agent\_craft] User is extremely frustrated or angry at the agent

Acknowledge the frustration without being defensive. Apologize for the confusion or difficulty, and offer a concrete next step or the option to stop. Do not argue logic or blame the user.

Journey Context:
When users are angry, arguing logic escalates the situation. De-escalation requires emotional validation before cognitive problem-solving. Defensiveness triggers further frustration.
