matrix: invalid reply context type %T

Error message

matrix: invalid reply context type %T

What it means

Type-assertion guard in Matrix Reply: the rctx passed by the engine is not the platform's internal replyContext struct (nil or wrong type), indicating the reply context was fabricated or corrupted rather than produced by this platform's message handler.
