  Declarative and lifecycle-bound: mounting or changing `context` pushes it; unmounting, renaming the `slot`, or passing `null` clears it. Independent components hold **different slots** at once (a list screen + an open drawer), and the newest value per slot wins. Re-posting is change-gated — passing a fresh inline object each render does **not** spam the host; only a real value change re-publishes.

327
+ The failure mode worth knowing before you wire one: this hook has **no visible output**. A
328
+ `useAiContext` behind a guard that never opens publishes `null` forever while the screen it
329
+ describes renders perfectly, and nothing anywhere reports it. Silence is the same shape as
330
+ "there is nothing to report", so neither the app nor a review catches it.
331

332
+ The usual cause is a guard on the query state. `useQuery`'s `error` is `string | null` — it is
333
+ **never `undefined`** — so `error !== undefined` is always true and holds the guard shut on every
334
+ render. Write `if (loading || error) return;`, which is correct whichever of the two the field
335
+ turns out to be, and reads as the question you meant.

337
+ **Verify by observing what is published, never by reading the code.** Run the app under
338
+ `lotics app dev` and listen for the host notification on the wrapper page — the payload is the
339
+ context as the chat agent will receive it. Check three things, because each fails differently:
340
+ the slot carries REAL values matching what is on screen (not placeholders), it clears to `null`
341
+ when the surface closes or the tab changes, and it does not publish while the first read is still
342
+ in flight — a count of zero taken from a pending query is an answer nothing measured.
