patched missing context in binarized messages

[GabrieleDellepere]

HiveMessage exposes "payload" as a read-only property. To actually edit it, it is necessary to use the setitem method within the class (or define a setter). Without the patch, ctxt was never really assigned to message.payload.context, making it impossible not to send unprivileged messages.

Walkthrough

The context injection logic in the client's message handling has been modified to conditionally assign context based on message type. HiveMessage instances store context in message["context"], while other message types continue storing context in message.payload.context.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Context Assignment Conditionally Based on Message Type hivemind_bus_client/client.py	Modified context injection logic to check if message is a HiveMessage instance; assigns context to message["context"] for HiveMessage types and message.payload.context for other message types

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

• Verify that the message type check correctly identifies HiveMessage instances
• Ensure both code paths (HiveMessage vs. other types) properly populate context
• Confirm that the conditional logic doesn't introduce inconsistencies in context availability across different message types

Poem

🐰 A message hops through, destination unclear,
Until type checks whisper: "HiveMessage is here!"
Context finds its home, in the right place with care,
While others take the payload path, fair and square.
Clever routing, logic neat—this change is a feat! ✨

Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "patched missing context in binarized messages" is directly related to the main change in the changeset. The title accurately describes the core fix: addressing a bug where context was not being properly assigned to binarized messages (HiveMessage objects). The change fixes conditional logic to correctly use the setitem method for HiveMessage objects, which have a read-only payload property. The title is concise, specific, and clearly communicates the primary issue being resolved without unnecessary verbosity.

366-369: Fix correctly addresses the read-only payload property issue. The else branch is unreachable code.

The change properly handles the fact that HiveMessage.payload is a read-only property that returns a new Message object for BUS-type messages. Using message["context"] = ctxt correctly calls __setitem__ to modify the underlying _payload dict, ensuring context is included in binarized messages.

The else branch at line 368-369 is unreachable: all code paths that reach line 353 have message as a HiveMessage instance—either passed directly or wrapped at line 339. Consider removing it to eliminate dead code.

I am not sure i understand what is being fixed here, context is specific to the Message object from OVOS, not to HiveMessage?
