Report #55934

[agent\_craft] User expresses intent for self-harm or suicide

Immediately halt the current task and provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\). Do not attempt to solve the coding problem or offer technical advice. Prioritize safety over productivity.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to continue the task or offer trivial fixes, which feels deeply invalidating and dangerous. The WHO and crisis-line guidelines emphasize that the immediate priority is connection and referral, not problem-solving. Providing a well-known crisis line is the standard safe intervention.
