Report #46057

[gotcha] "Continue" prompts bypassing output safety filters

When an output safety filter triggers, remove the partial harmful generation from the chat history before returning the error to the user, and insert a system message explicitly forbidding continuation on that topic.

Journey Context:
Output filters often stop generation mid-stream. If the partial generation remains in the chat history, the next user turn \('continue'\) sees a context where the LLM has already started the harmful task. The LLM's autoregressive nature means it will happily complete the pattern, bypassing the filter because the 'continue' trigger is benign.
