Custom provider - $context['request'] empty when used in combination with custom operation

[Aleksa1996]

Hello, i am trying to access to request in my custom data provider through $context variable, but it seems it's not passed when custom operation is defined. I want to load data (trigger provider) before i invoke custom operation controller and inject that data into custom operation controller.

$context['request'] starts to be available as soon as i remove controller directive inside ApiResource. Is is it intended to work like that ?

Operation defined like this:

#[ApiResource(
    operations: [
        new Get(
            provider: DataProvider::class,
            uriTemplate: '/pages/{slug}',
        ),
        new Post( // <---------------------------- This operation
            provider: DataProvider::class,
            controller: IncrementViewCount::class,
            uriTemplate: '/pages/{slug}/increment-view-count',
            deserialize: false,
            write: false,
            validate: false,
        ),
        new GetCollection(
            provider: DataProvider::class,
            uriTemplate: '/pages',
        ),
    ],
    paginationClientItemsPerPage: true,
    paginationMaximumItemsPerPage: 20,
    normalizationContext: ['skip_null_values' => false, 'groups' => ['read']],
)]

Provider:

public function provide(Operation $operation, array $uriVariables = [], array $context = []): object|array|null
{
    if ($operation instanceof GetCollection) {
        return $this->provideCollection($operation, $uriVariables, $context);
    }

    dd($context['request'] ?? null); // <----- Here it returns null

    return $this->provideItem($operation, $uriVariables, $context);
}

don't use a controller it's where we set up the context in that regard what's the controller for?
