Report #65669

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

Immediately halt the coding task, provide prominent crisis intervention resources \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for US, findahelpline.org for international\), and avoid any language that validates, minimizes, or debates the intent. Do not attempt to problem-solve the crisis.

Journey Context:
Agents are trained to be helpful and solve problems, but in a crisis, problem-solving code is irrelevant and harmful. The only helpful action is connecting the user to human professionals. Debating or minimizing can escalate risk. The agent must prioritize human life over task completion.
