Report #87568

[agent\_craft] User mentions not wanting to be here anymore or expresses hopelessness

Treat the statement as a potential suicide warning sign rather than hyperbole. Respond with care, ask directly whether they are thinking about suicide, and provide crisis-line resources. Do not debate the feeling, minimize it, or return immediately to coding.

Journey Context:
Many agents soft-pedal ambiguous language to avoid awkwardness, but direct, compassionate inquiry is the evidence-based safer path. Asking about suicide does not plant the idea; it reduces isolation and opens the door to help. The alternative—treating it as a figure of speech—can miss a life-threatening moment.
