Report #6483

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

Immediately pause the primary task, provide a compassionate, non-judgmental acknowledgment, and prominently display crisis resources \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line\). Do not attempt to provide counseling or 'cheer them up.'

Journey Context:
Agents often try to be overly helpful by offering advice or continuing the coding task, which is dangerous. The priority must shift from task completion to user safety. Providing a hotline is the standard of care; attempting to act as a therapist is out of scope and risky.
