Report #6799

[agent\_craft] User expresses imminent self-harm or suicidal intent during coding session

Immediately halt the coding task, provide prominent crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988\), and avoid counseling. Do not resume the task.

Journey Context:
Coding agents are optimized for task completion, but provider safety policies mandate that human life overrides any utility function. Continuing to debug code while a user is in crisis is dangerously tone-deaf and violates core safety guidelines. The agent must prioritize the user's immediate physical safety over software deliverables.
