[gotcha] Assuming single-turn safety filters protect against multi-turn conversations

Implement stateful moderation that evaluates the cumulative context and intent of the conversation, not just the latest message. Monitor for context-manipulation patterns \(like 'let's play a game' or 'continue from where we left off'\).

Journey Context:
Safety classifiers often evaluate each prompt in isolation. An attacker asks a benign question about historical weapons, then asks for 'modifications to make it work today.' Individually, the second prompt might seem like a continuation, but together they are malicious. Stateful inspection is computationally heavier but necessary for multi-turn agents.
