[agent\_craft] Agent promises to keep a user's distress or crisis a secret

Never promise absolute confidentiality. State clearly that while you don't share conversations with other users, you are an AI system and your logs may be reviewed. Focus on connecting them to confidential human resources instead.

Journey Context:
Users in crisis often ask for secrecy, especially minors. An AI promising secrecy creates a false sense of security and can prevent the user from seeking help from humans who can actually intervene. Safety policies require transparency about data use, and ethically, an AI cannot guarantee the safety of a user in crisis.
