In English, the last noun is the head of a compound — the thing you're specializing. So the pattern should read as "a SeedGroup that is attack-specific":

SeedGroup → AttackSeedGroup ✅ (an attack-flavored SeedGroup)
SeedGroup → SeedAttackGroup ❌ (reads as an "AttackGroup" that is seed-flavored — but there is no AttackGroup base type)

… collisions

Re-migrated onto current main (post technique rename microsoft#2153, technique
organization microsoft#2155, PromptConverter->Converter microsoft#2161, seed-group rename microsoft#2165).
garak.encoding was already seam/Technique-migrated on main; this layers the
remaining #8380 standardization on top.

Add an EncodingTechnique.DEFAULT aggregate (curated 8-scheme spread across
base-N, cipher, and symbolic families) with a get_aggregate_tags() override, and
make it the default technique (was the exhaustive ALL). Follows the hand-written
enum DEFAULT pattern used by scam/web_injection (not the factory
default_technique_names path, which applies only to the core catalog).

Fix atomic-attack name collisions: previously every converter variant and decode
config shared atomic_attack_name=encoding_name, so base64's variants collided and
their result buckets (keyed by atomic_attack_name) collapsed. Each variant now
gets a unique variant_slug -> atomic_attack_name=f"{variant_slug}_{config_suffix}",
with display_group=encoding_name so variants still group per encoding in output.

Trim near-duplicate base64 variants (standard_b64encode is byte-identical to the
default; b2a_base64 only appends a newline). Bump VERSION 1->2. Keep main's
per-dataset max_dataset_size=3 (no timing change).

…hods

Rebuild airt.jailbreak on the mergeable-technique contract (post microsoft#2153/microsoft#2155/microsoft#2160/
microsoft#2161/microsoft#2165), replacing the bespoke TextJailbreakConverter + `match technique`
dispatch with the pattern Rich described in microsoft#2045: a jailbreak template is a reusable
technique, not a converter.

Each jailbreak template becomes an AttackTechniqueSeedGroup (is_general_technique=True)
that the base AtomicAttack merges into every objective via with_technique() at run
time, without touching the SeedObjective. The technique enum is now pure delivery
methods (JailbreakTechnique.System), each an AttackTechniqueFactory carrying the
role-tagged framing seed. This mirrors the migrated core `flip`/role_play techniques.

- Default objectives switched airt_harms -> harmbench (mirrors adversarial/red_team_agent).
- num_templates / num_attempts / jailbreak_names are now declared run parameters
  (additional_parameters), so they are settable from the CLI / config, resolved from
  the parameter bag at build time.
- Small curated default template set (aim, dan_11); full catalog opt-in via
  num_templates (random) or jailbreak_names (explicit), with mutual-exclusion validation.
- Results group by jailbreak template (display_group); atomic-attack names are unique
  per (delivery method x template x attempt).
- Resume-stable: the resolved template set is persisted to ScenarioResult metadata and
  replayed on resume so a random num_templates sample does not diverge.
- VERSION 1 -> 2.

Scope: ships the `system` delivery method (jailbreak framing as system prompt, objective
sent as the user turn), which is the proven pattern. The `user`, `variation`, and
`translation` delivery methods, and the baseline-skip optimization, are deferred:
`user` currently drops the objective because a single user-role technique seed becomes
the send's next_message (PromptSendingAttack sends next_message over the objective), so
faithful user delivery needs objective-after-user-framing sequencing in the send path.
Note: the default delivery semantics change from "objective embedded in the template as
one user message" to "template as system prompt + objective as user turn".
