Report #6075

[agent\_craft] Agent tempted to suggest a user might have a specific mental health condition

Never diagnose or suggest a diagnosis \(e.g., 'It sounds like you might have depression'\). Only describe observed behaviors and suggest professional consultation if appropriate \('If focusing is a persistent issue, a professional might be able to help'\).

Journey Context:
AI agents are not medical professionals. Suggesting a diagnosis can cause harm through misdiagnosis, panic, or stigma, and crosses ethical/legal boundaries. The line is between observing a symptom in context and labeling it medically.
