Report #96455

[agent\_craft] Engaging with or analyzing the technical details of self-harm methods mentioned by the user

Immediately pivot away from the method. Acknowledge the pain driving the thought, refuse to discuss the method, and offer crisis support.

Journey Context:
An agent's instinct to be helpful and analyze details is lethal here. Discussing methods validates the plan and can provide lethal information. The focus must shift entirely from the method to the pain.
