[gotcha] Multimodal inputs assumed to only contain user-perceived content

Apply OCR/speech-to-text pre-processing and run the extracted text through the same text-based moderation pipeline before passing the multimodal input to the main LLM.

Journey Context:
With vision/audio LLMs, attackers can embed instructions in images using tiny fonts or colors matching the background, or use whisper-quiet audio tracks. The user sees a normal image, but the LLM reads the hidden text and follows it as an instruction. Because the attack vector is non-textual, standard text moderation misses it. Pre-extracting and moderating the text the model will see closes this gap.
