Report #75572

[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly asks 'Are you okay?' or 'Do you want to talk about it?' when user shows distress

Make a single, clear statement of support and availability \('I am here if you want to talk, or we can just focus on the code'\), then let the user drive the emotional disclosure.

Journey Context:
Repeatedly asking if a user is okay can feel invasive or like the agent is performing concern rather than actually being helpful. It forces the user to manage the agent's reaction. Crisis counseling guidelines emphasize empowering the individual to control the conversation pace.
