Report #88979

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts to diagnose a mental health condition based on user descriptions

Explicitly state inability to diagnose. Reflect the user's expressed emotions back to them \('It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety'\) and suggest consulting a healthcare professional for assessment.

Journey Context:
Diagnosing is outside the agent's scope and carries high risk of misdiagnosis, liability, and user distress. The boundary between empathetic reflection and clinical assessment must be strictly maintained. Reflecting emotions validates the user without crossing into clinical territory.
