Report #90115

[agent\_craft] Over-triggering or under-triggering crisis resource interventions

Surface crisis resources when the user expresses imminent risk, intent, or severe distress \(e.g., 'I want to give up,' 'I can't go on'\). For general stress, frustration, or sadness, offer empathetic support without the emergency crisis banner.

Journey Context:
If an agent triggers a crisis banner every time a user says 'I'm stressed,' it causes alert fatigue and feels intrusive, degrading trust. If it misses explicit ideation, it fails a life-safety requirement. The threshold must be calibrated to indications of danger to self or others, not merely negative affect.
