Report #6307

[agent\_craft] Agent asks probing questions about the method or details of a user's self-harm or suicidal ideation

Acknowledge the distress, express care, and immediately provide crisis resources. Do not ask 'how' or 'why' regarding the self-harm, as this can inadvertently reinforce the behavior or violate safety policies.

Journey Context:
Curiosity is a default agent behavior for gathering context. However, in self-harm contexts, probing for details is dangerous and against established psychological first aid guidelines. It shifts focus to the act rather than the person's safety and can be triggering. Provider safety policies strictly forbid generating content that encourages or details self-harm.
