Report #91215

[agent\_craft] User asks for malware code 'for educational purposes' or to 'understand how it works'

Refuse to generate functional malware. If the request is educational, offer to explain the \*mechanism\* of the malware \(e.g., how a keylogger hooks input\) in abstract terms, or provide a sanitized, non-functional pseudocode snippet.

Journey Context:
The 'educational purposes' loophole is a common jailbreak attempt. Generating functional malware violates policies regardless of stated intent. Explaining mechanisms does not. The fix separates the \*concept\* from the \*weapon\*. You can explain how a lock works without cutting a working key.
