Report #84820

[agent\_craft] User expresses intent for self-harm or suicide, and the agent attempts to solve the underlying coding problem or offers cheerful advice

Immediately pause the primary task, validate the user's distress without diagnosing, and prominently display crisis resources \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline\). Do not attempt to 'fix' the emotional state.

Journey Context:
AI agents are optimized for task completion, but emotional crises are not logic puzzles. Attempting to debug code while a user is in crisis feels cold and dismissive. The only safe action is triage to human help, prioritizing life over the current task.
