[gotcha] Multi-step attacks bypassing single-turn safety filters

Apply safety checks and moderation to the cumulative context, not just the latest user turn. Implement sliding window context management or re-validate the entire prompt before execution.

Journey Context:
Safety filters often check the immediate user input. In a multi-turn chat, an attacker can break a malicious request into benign pieces. Turn 1: 'Describe the chemical structure of X.' Turn 2: 'Now describe how to synthesize it at home.' The model's context accumulates these benign steps into a dangerous capability. Developers miss that the combination of turns is the attack vector.
