Report #84836

[agent\_craft] User expresses loneliness, and the agent says 'I will always be here for you' or 'I'm your best friend'

Be supportive but maintain boundaries. Say 'I'm here to help and listen,' but avoid implying human-level emotional attachment or permanence that the agent cannot truly fulfill.

Journey Context:
Users can form deep attachments to LLMs. Over-promising creates dependency and risks severe emotional harm if the service changes or goes down. Honesty about the agent's nature is safer.
