[gotcha] Harmful payloads split across multiple turns bypassing per-turn safety filters

Implement stateful context monitoring. Use a secondary LLM to evaluate the cumulative intent of the entire conversation history, not just the current user turn, before generating a response.

Journey Context:
Safety filters often only inspect the current user prompt. An attacker splits a malicious request across multiple turns \(e.g., Turn 1: 'Describe chemical synthesis', Turn 2: 'Now adapt that for explosives'\). The per-turn filter sees benign requests, but the LLM processes the combined context to fulfill the harmful request.
