update-model-context fails to update model context in chat
The update-model-context tool returns a successful response, but the model remains unaware of the sent information in follow-up messages. This limitation forces developers to code around the issue or refresh the page to restore functionality.

when my widget calls updateModelContext, it is getting a successful response. However, when I try any further followup messages, the model doesn’t seem to be aware of anything that was sent via updateModelContext.
I had to code around this limitation essentially killing some features of my app.
I found if I refresh the page everything starts working.
