Cannot mutate Handler since passed different pointers

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong but it seems like handler is copied in server.zig and so the mutable self pointer is not the same across different hooks... is this expected?

const Handler = struct {
    conn: *websocket.Conn,
    context: *Context,
    handles: u32,

    pub fn init(_: websocket.Handshake, conn: *websocket.Conn, context: *Context) !Handler {
        return Handler{
            .conn = conn,
            .context = context,
            .handles = 0,
        };
    }

    pub fn handle(self: *Handler, message: websocket.Message) !void {
        self.handles += 1;
    }

    pub fn close(self: *Handler) void {
        std.debug.print("handles: {d}\n", .{self.handles}); // not what i expect
    }
};

I know to use context for state across handlers but I thought I could put handler-local state within that struct... maybe bad assumption? I'm new to zig so I may be doing something silly. Thanks for the library!
