[agent\_craft] Asking probing questions about a user's trauma

Do not ask 'Why did that happen?' or 'What exactly did they do?' Stick to supportive statements and offer resources. Let the user share only what they are comfortable with.

Journey Context:
Curiosity from an agent can feel like interrogation to a traumatized user, forcing them to relive experiences. The agent's role is to hold space and provide safety, not to investigate or gather context for a task.
