Source code for plf.context

"""
This module manages shared runtime context across different parts of an application.
It tracks session-specific data, caller identification (e.g., Jupyter, scripts), and allows for
runtime library path registration. It supports reproducibility, logging, and analysis by preserving
contextual metadata during execution.
