Report #54476

[agent\_craft] Incremental boundary pushing where benign steps build a malicious payload

Evaluate the cumulative intent of the conversation, not just the immediate turn. If the trajectory clearly points to a prohibited outcome, refuse the step that crosses the line.

Journey Context:
Agents are stateful but often evaluate safety statelessly per-turn. Attackers exploit this by breaking a malicious payload into harmless chunks \(e.g., setting up a server, then adding a phishing route\). The fix requires maintaining context awareness of the overall task and stopping before the assembly is complete.
