Middleware not working properly, autowiring issue?

I seen one of the latest tickets is related to the getAttributes() request method however my issue is related to using the ip-addr-middleware package to grab the client ip from the request and since it uses ->getAttributes, perhaps my problem is semi-related.

So I added the ip-addr-middleware package exactly as described in the docs (https://github.com/akrabat/ip-address-middleware) and while I can retrieve the ip address using the example route shown in that doc, getAttributes() is empty on my auto-wired controllers. Im curious if this is because when the route is __invoke’d it is instantiating a new request object or if theres some other configuration issue that I completely screwed up, any ideas what could cause this?
