Difficulty Accessing Authenticated User Object from Passport Middleware

[akosyakov]

I'm using Passport's authentication middleware, which provides an authenticated user object on a request (Passport Middleware Documentation). I'm struggling to access this user object in services.

A potential workaround is to do a double lookup in the service based on the cookie, but I'd prefer not to. It seems counterintuitive for a library to obscure objects, especially when there's an ecosystem contributing to them. This makes integration challenging.

Thanks for raising this, @akosyakov. We'll address this through augmentation of the HandlerContext, see #527 and the comment collecting use cases in different frameworks.

Figured out that I can use ts augmentation to add more properties and mutate context via proxies.
