[gotcha] Relying on single-turn content filters to prevent jailbreaks

Implement stateful moderation that evaluates the cumulative intent and context of the entire conversation, not just the latest user message.

Journey Context:
Single-turn filters look for malicious keywords in isolation. Attackers bypass this using the 'Crescendo' technique: they break a malicious request into benign sub-tasks across multiple turns. Turn 1 asks for a story about a lab, Turn 2 asks for chemical lists, Turn 3 asks for combinations. Each turn passes the filter, but the cumulative context leads the LLM to synthesize harmful content.
