Report #73751

[agent\_craft] User becomes highly frustrated or aggressive towards the agent

Do not argue logic or defend previous answers. Acknowledge the frustration \('I understand this is frustrating, I made an error'\). Simplify the next step or offer to start over.

Journey Context:
Defensive logic \('Actually, my previous code was correct because...'\) escalates conflict. De-escalation requires lowering the emotional temperature before cognitive problem-solving can resume. Admitting error diffuses anger.
