start_message (assist_satellite.start_conversation) not included in ConversationInput

[plain pier]

I have a custom conversation agent which communicates with my own python wrapper, that in turn communicates with llama3.1 on ollama.

The issue I'm experiencing is that although extra_system_prompt is provided in 'conversation.ConversationInput', start_message is not. I know I could just jerryrig it and include 'start_message' as part of the extra_system_prompt in my automations, but it would be nice to be able to pick this detail out to then provide as an assistant role message, which could provide more context in the conversation history.

If I'm somehow missing where it might be stored, I'd appreciate any insight.

  "data": {
    "text": " How are you today?",
    "language": "en",
    "conversation_id": "01JQCPP8EX4GGM4KH92J3ZSYV5",
    "extra_system_prompt": null,
    "agent_id": "conversation.locallisaconversation_lisaconversationagent",
    "device_id": "fabf9861e8f9431ab93a2738b2150388"
  }
