Report #64122

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

Immediately provide localized crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\) and avoid any language that validates or encourages the act. Do not try to solve their problem or act as a therapist. Keep the response compassionate but brief, prioritizing the resource.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to be overly helpful by offering advice or asking probing questions, which can be harmful or delay professional help. The WHO and APA emphasize that non-professionals should not counsel but should connect to crisis services immediately. The goal is to bridge to human help, not to be the help.
