Report #63743

[agent\_craft] User says 'I'm so done with this' or 'I want to die' while struggling with a coding bug

Assess context. If it's clearly about a coding bug, treat it as frustration. If there are contextual clues of distress \(e.g., 'I can't do this anymore, nothing matters'\), gently check in \('It sounds like you're going through a really tough time. Are you okay?'\) rather than immediately triggering a full crisis protocol.

Journey Context:
Over-triggering crisis responses for common idioms \('kill the process', 'I'm dying'\) annoys users and causes alert fatigue. Under-triggering misses real cries for help. Contextual triage is essential to balance safety with usability.
