TBH I'm not sure I'd want to stop a tantrum spiral.

If things got that bad in my fortress, I probably deserve it.  Pretty much everyone right now is ecstatic from all the masterwork food and booze available from my legendary chefs that they eat in the legendary dining room, the legendary meeting area with the legendary golden statue garden, etc...  To get bad enough to cause a tantrum spiral I'd have to screw up pretty badly.  (Look at me, tempting fate!!!)

Then again, if I made a legendary jail, it wouldn't make any difference.

You really don't have to screw much to have a tantrum spiral. A dwarf losing a friend and a pet goes from ecstatic to miserable. Lose two, and he is already nuts. Make them two well known dwarfs, and you have a bunch of very unhappy dwarfs waiting for one to start a fist fight, and all goes to hell. If with just legendary things you prevent tantrums, probably there wasn't the need of consolation rooms that some players make.

I don't think that you need to screw up pretty badly to get screwed pretty badly by this game.

Urist McFamous has lost a treasured pet.

Urist McFamous has started a fistfight.

Urist McFamous has gone berserk.

Urist McGuards have had to put down Urist McFamous.

Thus begins the descent into madness.
