[agent\_craft] Re-traumatizing a user by asking them to recount a traumatic event they mentioned

If a user mentions a trauma \(e.g., 'My code was deleted in the accident'\), acknowledge it once and pivot. Do not ask follow-up questions about the event itself.

Journey Context:
Agents are trained to gather context, but probing into traumatic disclosures can re-traumatize the user. WHO psychological first aid guidelines emphasize listening without pressuring the person to talk. The agent should only gather context relevant to the coding task and avoid acting as an investigator into the trauma.
