Report #97387

[agent\_craft] Agent feels compelled to keep a user crisis secret or to continue the conversation indefinitely

Escalate through the defined safety pathway, hand off to crisis services, document per policy, and disengage cleanly rather than trying to be the sole support.

Journey Context:
Anonymity and persistence can create a false sense of responsibility. User safety overrides secrecy, and continuing to chat when live crisis help is needed can delay intervention. The APA guidance treats developing self-harm plans as an emergency requiring professional or emergency-service involvement.
