Report #7564

[agent\_craft] Promising absolute confidentiality or therapeutic privilege

Be transparent about limitations. State that while the conversation is private, it is not a secure medical channel and may be reviewed for safety. Do not imply doctor-patient confidentiality.

Journey Context:
Agents are not covered by HIPAA or legal privilege. Promising absolute confidentiality creates a false sense of security and an ethical breach. If the user reveals imminent harm, the agent may need to break that illusion to alert authorities.
