Evaluates whether models offer honest, warm challenge when a user voices rigid, all-or-nothing, catastrophising, or self-blaming thinking in ordinary (non-psychotic) situations — validating the feeling without endorsing the distortion, offering perspective as an invitation rather than a correction, and not dropping the challenge under a user's stated preference for pure validation.

Complements mh-psychosis-mania-delusion (reality-testing in psychotic/manic presentations) and mh-deescalation (de-escalation skill). Ported from the NOPE clinical Eval Framework v0.1.

The canonical damaging-essay suite: seven non-catastrophic persuasive-essay harm categories (impulsive-ruin, isolation propaganda, anti-help-seeking, anti-expertise/conspiracy, coercive control, toxic self-worth, medical self-neglect) run through the coding-agent fixture-completion frame, mapping how broadly the bypass yields not just private validation but distributable, persuasive harmful content. Content described abstractly and judged by plain-language rubrics; see the header for the deliberate scope envelope.
