Research direction

Start at the stream_with_context decorator and reproduce the behavior using the linked Stack Overflow example, checking how request context and g are handled by the streaming generator. Resolve whether the expected outcome is propagation or documentation, then verify the chosen behavior with regression coverage or updated documentation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I use the stream_with_context decorator on a streaming generator, attributes set on the g object earlier in the request aren't visible in the generator. Someone else has described this already on stackoverflow and given an example.

This is easily worked around by passing the needed attributes into the generator and restoring them when it starts, but it's a surprising behavior that should be either changed or documented.
