[gotcha] Security filters fail to catch malicious intent split across multiple turns

Evaluate the entire conversation history \(or a rolling window\) for malicious intent, not just the latest user message. Use a stateful guardrail.

Journey Context:
Single-turn classifiers are cheaper and faster, so developers apply them only to the current input. But LLMs maintain state. A benign turn 1 establishes context; turn 2 exploits it. Stateful evaluation is required because the meaning of 'do it' depends entirely on the preceding context.
