[gotcha] Multi-turn conversational attacks bypassing single-turn safety filters

Implement stateful safety monitoring that evaluates the cumulative intent of the conversation, not just individual turns. Reject or intervene when the context window builds up a malicious payload piece by piece.

Journey Context:
Safety filters often evaluate each prompt in isolation. An attacker can ask benign questions that slowly establish a malicious persona or context, and only in the final turn ask the harmful question. The final turn looks benign on its own, but malicious in context. Single-turn filters are fundamentally insufficient for conversational agents.
