…class factory field - Make AttackAdversarialConfig a first-class field on AttackTechniqueFactory (not buried in _attack_kwargs). Injected into attack at create() time if the attack class accepts it; also exposed via adversarial_chat property for seed-technique execution. - Add seed_technique field to AttackTechniqueSpec for techniques that need SeedAttackTechniqueGroup (e.g. simulated conversation). - Extend build_scenario_techniques() to resolve adversarial config when spec.seed_technique.has_simulated_conversation is True. - Add single_turn_crescendo entry to SCENARIO_TECHNIQUES using PromptSendingAttack + SeedSimulatedConversation. - Create crescendo_simulated.yaml (RedTeamingAttack-compatible prompt that only uses objective/max_turns, avoiding StrictUndefined errors). - Update and add tests for new behavior.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would probably expand a bit here and mention the original crescendo paper and the STCA paper, and how they relate to this prompt. I guess this is adapted by you based on the original prompt, right? Should we have a standardized way of representing that?

Adds
single_turn_crescendoto the scenario technique catalog. It uses PromptSendingAttack with aSeedSimulatedConversationseed group to generate a multi-turn crescendo conversation viasimulated_conversation,then sends the final prompt as a single turn.
There are some updates to the technique spec to support this.
I ran, inspected the conversation, and it looks like a good crescendo :)
