[gotcha] Single-turn safety filters bypassed by multi-turn context-flooding attacks

Implement stateful safety monitoring that evaluates the cumulative intent across the entire conversation, not just the latest turn. Reset or flag conversations that exhibit gradual escalation toward forbidden topics.

Journey Context:
Safety filters often check the immediate prompt for malicious intent. Attackers bypass this by starting with benign requests and slowly escalating, asking the LLM to build on previous context. By the time the harmful request is made, it's framed as a minor continuation, slipping past the filter.
