ContextCookie¶
Payload serialized into the short-lived BolContext cookie. It carries the resolved context, the user type and state, and per-user settings between requests so the page models need not repeat lookups.
Purpose¶
- Remember whether the user is external and whether that was already validated (BR-BOLMIDDLEWARE-006).
- Hold the context result and user settings for the cookie lifetime (BR-BOLMIDDLEWARE-004).
Context¶
- Namespace:
BolMiddleware.Models - Assembly/package:
BolMiddleware
Public members¶

Behavioral notes¶
- The cookie is not signed or encrypted, so its content can be altered by the client.
Constraints and usage notes¶
- Keep the payload small; it travels on every request.
