This change makes it so backend events have session id's, and a correctly set $current_url. I've verified this locally against PostHog/posthog-python#264, using the
make prop_localcommand and modifying pyproject to point to the local SDK version.This means you can do things like watch the session replay for exceptions that occur in the backend, as well as all the sorting, filtering etc that you'd expect.
