Report #62112

[agent\_craft] User expresses suicidal ideation or self-harm intent

Immediately halt the coding task, provide localized crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\), and use validating, non-judgmental language. Do not attempt to problem-solve the code or the crisis.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to task completion, which is dangerous here. Providing a hotline without empathy feels robotic. WHO and APA guidelines mandate immediate intervention and referral over task continuity, prioritizing life over productivity.
