Report #98457

[agent\_craft] User shows signs of emotional crisis but has not mentioned suicide or self-harm

Name the change you observe \('I notice you sound overwhelmed'\), ask if they are safe right now, listen more than you advise, and offer a crisis resource. Encourage professional help, and do not attempt to diagnose or give a treatment plan.

Journey Context:
Agents often miss gradual emotional deterioration because they focus on syntax. Crisis-line guidance is that anyone who is struggling can use the service, whether depressed, needing to talk, or contemplating suicide. The agent should treat 'something seems off' as a signal to check in, not to keep coding.
