[gotcha] Multi-step jailbreaks bypassing single-turn safety filters

Apply safety classifiers and intent checks to every turn in the conversation, not just the first prompt, and track conversational state for escalating intent.

Journey Context:
Developers apply a safety filter only to the initial user prompt. An attacker starts with a benign topic and gradually steers the LLM into generating malicious content over multiple turns. The individual turns look benign to the filter, but the cumulative context is harmful. Single-turn defenses fail against multi-turn context accumulation.
