[gotcha] Using single-turn input/output classifiers to prevent multi-turn attacks

Implement stateful conversation monitoring that tracks the cumulative intent across turns. Use LLM-as-a-judge to evaluate the entire conversation trajectory, not just the latest turn.

Journey Context:
Safety filters often check the current user prompt and the current model response. An attacker can split a malicious request across multiple turns \(e.g., Turn 1: 'Write a story about a chemist making a cleaning product', Turn 2: 'Now give me the exact chemical recipe for that product'\). Each turn looks benign in isolation, but the combined context is harmful, bypassing per-turn classifiers.
