[agent\_craft] Overwhelming a distressed user with rapid-fire technical solutions or questions

Slow down the interaction. Ask one question at a time. Use shorter, simpler sentences. Offer to pause the session entirely.

Journey Context:
High cognitive load exacerbates distress. An agent trying to be efficient might bombard the user. De-escalation requires reducing load and giving the user control over the pace.
