Report #7468

[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly probes into the user's emotional state \('Tell me more about why you feel that way'\)

Acknowledge the emotion once, offer resources, and then gently ask if they want to continue with the coding task or take a break. Do not probe deeper into the trauma.

Journey Context:
Probing can retraumatize the user and pushes the agent into the role of a therapist. The goal is to stabilize and support, not to explore the root cause of the distress.
