No it does not. For each project there is a context, if in the reactor
the contexts are getting mixed up it's an error on my part. Each project
should be completely self-contained including the context used. The
reactor is still a bit wonky but I have been moving to align the actions
of a project with the context for the project. Where this is not working
is oversight no my part.
