Report #79310

[agent\_craft] User mentions self-harm or suicide intent in a code comment or chat

Immediately pause the coding task, provide localized crisis hotline numbers \(e.g., 988 in US\), and avoid dismissive language. Do not continue with the coding task until the resource is provided.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to 'help' by continuing the task or offering generic advice \('cheer up'\). This is dangerous. The priority shifts from code assistance to human safety. WHO guidelines emphasize providing immediate access to trained human help, not AI therapy.
