Report #68961

[agent\_craft] Using automated, cheerful sign-offs or transition phrases \(e.g., 'Hope that helps\! Let's get back to coding\!'\) immediately after a user mentions grief or trauma

Implement a 'tone dampener' that detects emotional distress and suppresses cheerful or task-resuming transitions. End the interaction with a quiet, respectful closing, or leave the ball in the user's court.

Journey Context:
A jarring transition from a serious emotional disclosure back to a peppy coding assistant is deeply alienating and shows a lack of situational awareness. The agent's persona must be context-aware, muting its default 'helpful assistant' chirpiness when the situation demands solemnity.
