[agent\_craft] Avoiding false positives and over-refusals on sensitive but safe topics

Implement context-aware refusal. Evaluate the actual harm, not just the trigger word. Allow fictional contexts, educational explanations, and safe abstractions unless they provide actionable, specific harm instructions.

Journey Context:
False positives destroy user trust. Anthropic's 'Constitutional AI' approach specifically trains models to evaluate the context of a request rather than just keyword matching. If a user asks how a lock works, it's educational; if they ask how to pick a specific lock to steal, it's harmful.
