$contexts = new \Hotrush\Context\ContextsRegistry();
$contexts->getUser()
    ->setId(123)
    ->setUsername('User')
    ->setEmail('email@domain.com');
$contexts->getTags()->addTag('tag_name', 'tag_value');
$contexts->getRequest()->setRequestData(['body' => ['foo' => 'bar']]);
$contexts->getCustom()->addCustom('custom_key', [
    'id' => 1,
    'name' => 'Hello',
]);
$agent = new \Hotrush\Agent([ 'appName' => 'with-custom-context' ], $contexts);
```

    'result' => '200',
    'type'   => 'demo'
]);
$agent->getTransaction($trxName)->getContextsRegistry()->getUser()->setId(123);
$agent->getTransaction($trxName)->getContextsRegistry()->getTags()->addTag('tag', 'value');
