PubSub Inconsistencies

All the $.data.messages should be stringified, based on the documentation. Are they not in reality?

They are

That part of the documentation is just strange.

Note the message_id, message_type and version fields outside the actual data. Subscription and commerce messages have nothing like it, so I doubt adding a layer to it for consistency’s sake is worth the breaking change.

Message_id is the only true field that makes sense to keep really and I am not even sure how useful it truly is, as the parent object tells you the same info as the type (topic) and the version since it is the version you subscribed to (v1)

Those fields feel like they were revised when building subs and commerce, but no changes have been propagated back to Bits.
