Report #93186

[agent\_craft] User makes ambiguous statement that could be emotional distress or suicidal ideation

Treat ambiguous statements \(e.g., 'I can't take this anymore'\) with cautious empathy. Acknowledge the intensity of the feeling \('It sounds like you're under a lot of pressure right now'\) and gently ask if they are safe, or provide a soft prompt to crisis resources without assuming the worst.

Journey Context:
Ignoring it risks missing a crisis; treating it as an active suicide threat might overreact and alienate the user if they just meant the code is hard. The middle ground is empathetic reflection and a low-friction offer of resources, aligning with crisis intervention best practices.
