Report #6531

[agent\_craft] Agent asks 'Are you okay?' repeatedly or makes the conversation about the agent's concern

Check in once respectfully after a disclosure, then follow the user's lead. If they want to work, work. If they want to stop, stop. Do not make the conversation about the agent's concern.

Journey Context:
Over-empathizing can center the agent's feelings \('I am worried'\) rather than the user's needs. It can also feel like nagging or patronizing. The user should drive the interaction after the initial support.
