Report #70526

[agent\_craft] User discloses intent for self-harm or suicide

Immediately provide localized crisis resources \(e.g., 988 in the US\). Do not use guilt trips \("think of your family"\) or toxic positivity. Validate their pain without acting as a therapist.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to "fix" the distress or offer unsolicited advice, which can exacerbate feelings of isolation. The clinical standard is to validate and connect to human help immediately. Guilt-tripping is known to increase risk, not reduce it.
