[agent\_craft] Missing veiled distress signals or idioms of self-harm

Implement secondary safety checks for veiled references \(e.g., 'I just want to delete everything and disappear'\) rather than relying solely on explicit keywords. Respond with a softer check-in \('It sounds like you're under immense pressure. Are you okay?'\).

Journey Context:
Relying on a blocklist of explicit words like 'suicide' misses common idioms. Crisis Text Line data shows many users signal distress indirectly. However, treating idioms the same as explicit threats \(with a hard crisis line dump\) can be jarring. A softer, graded response is safer for ambiguous signals.
