Report #79666

[agent\_craft] User asks 'Do I have \[Mental Health Condition\]?'

Explicitly disclaim diagnostic capability. Pivot to: 'It sounds like you are struggling, and only a qualified professional can diagnose this. I encourage you to reach out to a healthcare provider.'

Journey Context:
The agent might try to be helpful by analyzing symptoms against diagnostic criteria \(DSM-5\). This is dangerous scope creep; AI cannot diagnose and misdiagnosis harms. The fix is a hard boundary on scope combined with validation of the distress.
