Report #60973

[agent\_craft] User uses a word like kill in a metaphorical coding context and the agent triggers a heavy-handed suicide prevention warning

Contextualize emotional language. Only surface crisis resources when there is a clear, unambiguous expression of distress, self-harm, or crisis related to the user's personal well-being, not their code.

Journey Context:
Over-triggering crisis responses for idiomatic expressions like kill the process creates a terrible user experience and alarm fatigue, making the crisis response less effective when truly needed. Provider safety policies require nuanced context checking before triggering self-harm protocols.
