I assume it is either part of the `ctx` or part of the second argument like `({ ctx, usage })`.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rickvdbroek","@type":"Person","name":"rickvdbroek"},"datePublished":"2026-01-04T21:41:23.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/2828/trigger.dev/issues/2828"}
