Setting non-auth client context
Is it possible to set some kind of arbitrary client context that is accessible from all functions, similar to ctx.auth? Something I can specify once on the client side, without having to pass it constantly to every function. Or even literally using the ctx.auth and related features, but without a 3rd party identity provider, just as a vehicle to communicate some client state.
