user_id in Conversation class is not used when starting a session

[Bombaharris]

Description

I am trying to start a conversational AI session that is associated with a specific user_id. The goal is to maintain user-specific context across different sessions.

Code Snippet: The following code demonstrates how the Conversation object is initialized and the session is started. The user_id is provided to the constructor as expected.

from elevenlabs.client import ElevenLabs
from elevenlabs.conversational_ai.conversation import Conversation

# Assume client, AGENT_ID, audio_interface, and callbacks are defined

user_id = "UNIQUE_123"

# The user_id is passed during initialization
conversation = Conversation(
    client=client,
    agent_id=AGENT_ID,
    user_id=user_id,
    requires_auth=True,
    audio_interface=audio_interface,
    # ... other callbacks
)

print("🎙️  Starting session...")

conversation.start_session()

What happened instead:

The user_id is passed to the Conversation class during its initialization. The session starts successfully without any client-side errors when conversation.start_session() is called. However, the session on the backend does not appear to be associated with the provided user_id. It behaves like an anonymous session, and no user-specific context seems to be carried over or maintained.

Any relevant parameters or configurations:

SDK Version: elevenlabs==2.20.0

Python Version: 3.10
