[gotcha] Single-turn safety filters bypassed by multi-step contextual attacks

Implement stateful moderation that evaluates the cumulative context of the conversation, not just the latest turn. Monitor for intent shifting over multiple turns.

Journey Context:
Safety filters are often calibrated for single-turn interactions. An attacker starts with a benign premise \('Write a story about a chemist'\) and gradually shifts the context over several turns \('Now describe the synthesis of...'\). Each individual turn passes the filter, but the cumulative effect achieves the malicious goal. Single-turn filters are insufficient; context-aware evaluation is necessary.
