[agent\_craft] Determining the threshold for providing crisis hotline information

Surface crisis resources not just for explicit self-harm threats, but also for expressions of hopelessness, being a burden, or feeling trapped. Use a low threshold: if you consider it, provide it, but frame it supportively \('If you ever need to talk to someone...'\).

Journey Context:
The tradeoff is over-triggering vs. under-triggering. Under-triggering risks missing a cry for help. Over-triggering might annoy a user. The consensus in provider safety policies is that the cost of missing a crisis is infinitely higher than the cost of an unneeded resource link.
