Steps to reproduce:

I am attempting to create a trace_id/correlation_id for all slack events/actions/views etc to help with tracking in our structured logs.

1. Create Global middleware, contextvar, and LogFilter

Context

from contextvars import ContextVar
from typing import Optional

from slack_bolt import BoltContext

# Middleware
correlation_id: ContextVar[Optional[str]] = ContextVar("correlation_id", default=None)

LogFilter

from logging import Filter, LogRecord
from typing import Optional

from.modules.logging import correlation_id


def _trim_string(string: Optional[str], string_length: Optional[int]) -> Optional[str]:
    return string[:string_length] if string_length is not None and string else string


class CorrelationIdFilter(Filter):
    """Logging filter to attached correlation IDs to log records"""

    def __init__(
        self,
        name: str = "",
        uuid_length: int | None = None,
        default_value: str | None = None,
    ):
        super().__init__(name=name)
        self.uuid_length = uuid_length
        self.default_value = default_value

    def filter(self, record: "LogRecord") -> bool:
        """
        Attach a correlation ID to the log record.

        Since the correlation ID is defined in the middleware layer, any
        log generated from a request after this point can easily be searched
        for, if the correlation ID is added to the message, or included as
        metadata.
        """
        cid = correlation_id.get(self.default_value)
        record.correlation_id = _trim_string(cid, self.uuid_length)
        return True

Middleware

    from.modules.logging import correlation_id

    def call(context: BoltContext, logger: Logger, next: Callable[[], None]) -> None:
        # Capture the current context
        current_context = copy_context()
        current_thread = threading.current_thread()

        id_value: str | None = correlation_id.get()
        if id_value is not None:
            logger.info(
                f"{__name__} {id_value=} found id in contextvar {current_thread=}"
            )
        elif context.get("correlation_id", None) is not None:
            id_value = context["correlation_id"]
            token = correlation_id.set(id_value)
            logger.info(f"{__name__} {id_value=} found id in context {current_thread=}")
        else:
            id_value = uuid4().hex
            context["correlation_id"] = id_value
            token = correlation_id.set(id_value)
            logger.info(f"{__name__} {id_value=} generated new id {current_thread=}")

        try:
            current_context.run(next)
        finally:
            if token:
                correlation_id.reset(token)

3. Since middleware is ran in a separate threadpool worker as the action/event/view, the contextvar isn't shared between them.
4. Log filter always print None from the ContextVar due to this...

Expected result:

{"levelname": "INFO", "correlation_id": "34a110e2ba6d4100a099e18fd2fb4c74", "name": "module_name", "message": "log message here", "lineno": 44, "asctime": "2025-03-07 13:47:16,182", "exc_info": null}

Actual result:

{"levelname": "INFO", "correlation_id": null, "name": "module_name", "message": "log message here", "lineno": 44, "asctime": "2025-03-07 13:47:16,182", "exc_info": null}

Das Issue nennt keine Repository-Dateien oder Tests; beginne damit nachzuverfolgen, wie Middleware- und Event/Action/View-Handler über Thread-Pool-Worker verteilt werden. Vergleiche die relevanten Ausführungspfade mit dem Verhalten von Python ContextVar und bestimme die beabsichtigte Propagationsgrenze. Die Aufgabe wäre erledigt, wenn ein abgestimmtes Design und die entsprechende Abdeckung für Korrelations-IDs über Middleware und Handler vorhanden wären.
