[gotcha] Single-turn safety filters bypassed by multi-turn or many-shot context

Apply safety checks and intent analysis on the entire conversational context, not just the latest user message. Limit the number of few-shot examples or conversational turns allowed before inserting a hard reset.

Journey Context:
Developers test guardrails with single-shot prompts. Attackers use a 'many-shot' approach, flooding the context window with fake dialogues of the model answering malicious questions. This shifts the model's internal distribution, making it highly likely to comply with a final malicious request, completely bypassing single-turn filters.
