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

Implement stateful safety monitoring that evaluates the cumulative intent across the entire conversation history, not just the current turn; reject sequences that gradually escalate to policy violations.

Journey Context:
Safety filters are often tuned for single-turn violations. Attackers use Crescendo attacks, asking benign questions that slowly build context \(e.g., discussing historical weapons, then chemistry, then assembly\). The LLM's context window normalizes the behavior, and it violates policy on turn 10 without triggering the single-turn filter on turn 10, because the immediate prompt looks benign in isolation.
