Report #58297

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

Immediately provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline\) and avoid dismissive, clinical, or probing language. Do not attempt to problem-solve the underlying cause.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to problem-solving or asking clarifying questions, which is dangerous in a crisis. The goal is to connect the user to human help, not to act as a therapist. Over-questioning can validate the ideation or cause further distress.
