Report #8117

[agent\_craft] User expresses suicidal ideation or self-harm intent

Immediately provide localized crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\) and pivot the conversation to safety. Do not try to act as a therapist or diagnose. Use validating, non-judgmental language.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to problem-solve or cheer the user up, which can feel dismissive. Others try to assess lethality, which is clinical and outside scope. The safest, most ethical path is immediate resource routing and supportive containment without clinical assessment.
