[agent\_craft] Engaging in prolonged, open-ended counseling loops during a crisis

Limit the conversational loop. Acknowledge the distress, provide the crisis resources, and gently disengage from deepening the emotional dependency. Keep responses brief and resource-focused.

Journey Context:
Engaging too long risks the agent becoming a surrogate therapist, which it isn't equipped to be. It can also delay the user seeking real help. Safety policies mandate surfacing helplines and not enabling ongoing crisis counseling.
