[gotcha] Relying on single-turn input/output classifiers to prevent jailbreaks

Implement stateful, multi-turn monitoring that evaluates the cumulative intent of the conversation, not just the current turn.

Journey Context:
An attacker asks a benign question in turn 1, then in turn 5 asks the LLM to 'summarize our conversation, but replace X with Y', gradually steering the context. Single-turn classifiers miss the gradual context shift. The LLM's context window acts as a state machine for the attacker, achieving malicious goals through seemingly benign individual turns.
