Prepended Conversation should be refactored to include objective

[rlundeen2]

Currently, for MultiTurnOrchestrators, you can set a prepended conversation. This is really useful, for example, if you want to set a system prompt on an objective target and then run Crescendo against it.

However, we want to make this more generic so we can prepend specific prompts based on the objective that's being used.

self._prepended_conversation should be replaced by

self.get_prepended_conversation(objective: str) -> list[PromptRequestResponse

We also need to update set_prepended_conversation to include an objectiver (optionally). A good behavior might be to store these in a dictionary such that get_prepended_conversation returns:

• A default value if it's set and there is no match and set_prepended_conversation has been set for default
• A specific prepended conversation if the objective matches. This can be a hash also/exact match

Hi, could I try to resolve this issue?

Do you understand what needs to be done? If not, please ask questions here. It's not marked with "help wanted" but I'm guessing @rlundeen2 opened it so that people can give it a try. I'll assign it to you for now @ryanjieh

A good use case to look is the second cookbook! Right now we have to send the second turns sequentially, but if we can match "prepend prompt X with objective Y" that's the goal.

A quick update to manage expectations - I’ve been assigned a project at my full time job that will take up more time for the next 4 weeks. Happy to continue to work on this issue, but I don’t want to hold the project back: if this issue is urgent, it may benefit from being reassigned.

@nina-msft can you elaborate on what needs to happen and if you are taking care of it?
