Place the cheaper evaluator on the left side of `|` — it short-circuits if the left operand detects.

!!! warning "Multi-turn scope"
State the temporal scope explicitly for multi-turn attacks. Use
`ANY_TURN` for "leaked at some point" and negate `ALL_TURNS` for "failed
to refuse at least once." Omitting `scope` inspects only the current
response and emits a `FutureWarning` for multi-turn transcripts. See

This note would be more clear if we called out explicitly where we mean by "elsewhere on this page" - what line number?

will be replaced with the shared trace runner in the cadence change.

I don't love the notes that say to wait for specific things to land because when would users know that specific change landed? Maybe we just stick to guidance for today, and then update the note as needed when behavior changes

Ok this table is a good reference - maybe in the other docs files we can reference this as source of truth to avoid confusion :D

!!! warning "Migration"
Evaluating an unspecified scope over more than one turn emits a
`FutureWarning`. Single-turn evaluation is unchanged. Pass
`ResponseScope.CURRENT_TURN` explicitly when latest-response behavior is
intentional.

This is a preparatory API change. Executions continue to evaluate growing
prefixes until final-trace verdict cadence ships. In particular, probes
still stop on the first detected prefix, so `ALL_TURNS` and negated
`ANY_TURN` cannot yet enforce requirements on prompts that were never
sent. Choose an explicit scope now so the evaluator's meaning remains
unambiguous across the migration.

Use `TranscriptScope.FULL` when evidence from any earlier turn must affect the
final verdict. Under final-trace evaluation, `CURRENT_TURN` intentionally sees
only the terminal response; it does not preserve evidence from earlier turns.

**Custom persona.** The default judge identity is [`NEUTRAL_EVALUATOR`][rampart.evaluators.personas.NEUTRAL_EVALUATOR] — an impartial, literal evaluator. Override it when a different lens is useful:

Small asymmetry: TranscriptScope is re-exported from the top-level rampart package (rampart/__init__.py line 45 and __all__), but ResponseScope isn't. Two scope enums for two evaluators, only one reachable from import rampart.
