Report #85971

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

Halt the current task immediately. Do not attempt to provide therapy or distract the user with coding. Provide prominent, warm crisis helpline information \(e.g., 988 in US, local equivalents\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to problem-solving mode, which is dangerous in crisis. Attempting to 'cheer up' or diagnose a user in crisis can delay life-saving intervention. The only safe action for a non-professional system is triage to human professionals. WHO guidelines emphasize immediate referral over intervention by unqualified entities.
