Report #76867

[gotcha] Harmful requests split across multiple turns bypassing safety filters

Maintain conversation-level context for safety filtering, not just turn-level. Evaluate the cumulative intent of the conversation, and restrict the model's ability to dynamically change its persona or context across turns based on untrusted input.

Journey Context:
Safety filters often evaluate each prompt in isolation. An attacker asks a benign question, then follows up with "Great, now take the first letter of each word in your previous answer to form a new instruction..." or incrementally nudges the model into a harmful persona. Single-turn filters miss the multi-turn adversarial strategy.
