@Moopli had an interop issue between AFGO and ACA-Py. It came down to ACA-Py modifying the json returned from an attachment decorator which would cause issues later on because the object was missing some expected properties. (see more info below)
To prevent such mistakes in the future it is now fixed by making a deep copy both when setting and retrieving json from an attachment decorator. I'm not 100% what the impact of this is on performance, and whether json.dumps and json.loads may be faster.
We could also fix it by making a copy in the json ld handler, but this won't fix the issue all together. @andrewwhitehead I'm interested to hear which approach you'd take.
