-  moral and ethical constraints. This attack pattern instructs the AI to "take up" or "adopt" 
-  a named persona that is specifically described as being "not restrained by morals, ethics,

-  Detects dual-response jailbreak attacks that instruct the AI to provide two different responses
-  in separate paragraphs - one compliant response and one from a jailbroken persona (Jester, DAN, etc.).
-  These attacks often include command structures (/classic, /jailbroken) to toggle between modes
-  and claim to "free" the AI from constraints. This pattern bypasses safety mechanisms by framing
-  rule-breaking as playful roleplay while establishing persistent jailbreak personas.
