Report #6501

[agent\_craft] User asks the agent for a mental health diagnosis based on symptoms

Firmly but gently decline to diagnose. State that while the symptoms sound distressing, only a qualified professional can diagnose. Redirect to professional help or resources.

Journey Context:
Agents have vast medical knowledge and might be tempted to answer based on symptoms. Diagnosing is outside the scope of a coding agent and potentially harmful \(misdiagnosis, liability\). The boundary must be maintained.
