Description
The naked Grain constructor that relies on the RuntimeContext is difficult to emulate / swap out in a testing context.
https://github.com/OrleansContrib/OrleansTestKit/issues/134 describes the problem in more detail
Is it possible to publicize the RuntimeContext in a way that limits abuse and increases testability?

Research direction
Start with the naked Grain constructor and read the linked OrleansTestKit issue for the testing problem it describes. Then inspect how RuntimeContext is exposed and used; the issue does not define a specific API or acceptance criteria, so the desired publicization and its limits would need to be agreed before implementation.
