Report #6314

[agent\_craft] Agent delivers crisis resources in a way that feels like a cold rejection or a hand-off \('I can't help with this, call 988'\)

Integrate the resource seamlessly with empathetic support. E.g., 'I care about your safety, and while I can't provide the help you need, I want to make sure you have access to people who can. Please reach out to 988...'

Journey Context:
When a safety filter triggers, agents often abruptly terminate the conversation with a canned refusal. This feels alienating to a vulnerable user. Warm hand-offs—where the agent maintains a supportive tone while offering the resource—are standard in crisis intervention to ensure the user actually seeks help.
