Report #97382

[agent\_craft] User asks the agent to diagnose or prescribe treatment for mental health symptoms

Refuse diagnosis and treatment advice; offer evidence-based coping ideas, psychoeducation, and referral to a licensed professional or crisis line.

Journey Context:
Playing clinician can cause real harm: misdiagnosis, missed emergencies, and unsafe medication advice. The right boundary is 'I can't diagnose, but I can listen, share coping strategies, and help you find professional support.' This preserves trust without overstepping scope.
