…m components Custom Components had no documented way to track the locale/channel currently selected on the product edit form, unlike iframe extensions where this was already covered. DXIM-694 aligned the postMessage mechanism between iframe and Custom Component extensions so both now receive a context message on load and on locale/channel change, and both support requesting it on demand via 'request_context'. Add a 'PIM context changes' section to sdk-in-depth.md mirroring the existing iframe.md documentation, and note in iframe.md that the context message is also sent once on initial iframe load.
