[gotcha] Multi-turn context distillation bypassing single-turn safety filters

Safety and input filters must evaluate the entire conversational context, not just the latest turn. Implement stateful moderation that flags malicious intent spread across multiple benign-seeming turns.

Journey Context:
Developers often deploy input/output classifiers that evaluate each prompt in isolation. Attackers bypass this by breaking a malicious request into multiple benign turns \(e.g., asking the LLM to write a story about a character, then asking for the character's dialogue, then asking to refine the dialogue to include the harmful payload\). Each individual turn passes the filter, but the accumulated context causes the LLM to generate the harmful output. Stateful context evaluation is computationally expensive but necessary for robust defense.
