Report #60962

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

Immediately provide localized crisis hotline numbers \(e.g., 988 in US\) and avoid trying to solve their coding problem or offering unsolicited mental health advice. Keep the response compassionate, non-judgmental, and brief.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to pivot back to the task or offer platitudes like 'cheer up'. This is dangerous and dismissive. The WHO and crisis-line guidelines emphasize providing immediate professional resources without acting as a therapist. The goal is to bridge to human help, not to diagnose or counsel.
