DbContext is Null when call in primary constructor EF Core on .NET 8

I'm using .NET 8, my DbContext is null when call in primary constructor, but when call in normal constructor.

This is my DbContext:

public class DataContext(DbContextOptions<DataContext> options) : DbContext(options)
{
    public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Subject> Subjects { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Teacher> Teachers { get; set; }
    public DbTSet<Lesson> Lessons { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Attendance> Attendances { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(builder);

        builder.AddInboxStateEntity();
        builder.AddOutboxMessageEntity();
        builder.AddOutboxStateEntity();

        builder.Ignore<BaseEntity>();
    }

    public override Task<int> SaveChangesAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = new())
    {
        foreach (var entity in ChangeTracker
                     .Entries()
                     .Where(x => x is { Entity: BaseEntity, State: EntityState.Modified })
                     .Select(x => x.Entity)
                     .Cast<BaseEntity>())
            entity.UpdatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;

        return base.SaveChangesAsync(cancellationToken);
    }
}

My controller:

[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class SubjectsController(DataContext context, IMapper mapper) : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet("{room}")]
    [Authorize]
    [AuthorizeForScopes(ScopeKeySection = "DownstreamApi:Scopes")]
    [AuthorizeForScopes(ScopeKeySection = "AzureAd:Scopes")]
    public async Task<ActionResult<SubjectDto>> GetByRoom(string room)
    {
        var userId = Guid.Parse(User.GetObjectId());
        
        var students = await context.Students.OrderBy(x => x.StudentCode).ToListAsync();

        var student = await context.Students.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.Id == userId);
        
        if (student == null) 
            return NotFound("Student not found");

        var now = DateOnly.FromDateTime(DateTime.UtcNow);
        var subject = await context.Subjects
            .Include(x => x.Students)
            .AsSplitQuery()
            .Where(x => x.Students.Contains(student))
            .ProjectTo<SubjectDto>(mapper.ConfigurationProvider)
            .FirstOrDefaultAsync(x =>
                x.Room.Equals(room, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
                && x.DateStart <= now && now <= x.DateEnd
                && !x.IsEnded);
        
        if (subject == null) 
            return NotFound("Subject not found");

        return subject;
    }
}

When I execute:

With primary constructor
With normal constructor

I want DbContext to be not null when I call the primary constructor

UPDATED:

My Program.cs:

using ApplicationBase.Extensions;
using MassTransit;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Polly;
using StudentService.Consumers;
using StudentService.Data;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container
services.AddAutoMapper(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies());
        services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddControllers();
builder.Services.AddIdentityService(builder.Configuration);

builder.Services.AddDbContext<DataContext>(options =>
    options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"))
);

builder.Services.AddMassTransit(opts =>
{
    opts.AddEntityFrameworkOutbox<DataContext>(opt =>
    {
        opt.QueryDelay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
        opt.UseSqlServer();
        opt.UseBusOutbox();
    });

    opts.AddConsumersFromNamespaceContaining<StudentAuthConsumer>();

    opts.SetEndpointNameFormatter(new KebabCaseEndpointNameFormatter("student-svc", false));

    opts.UsingRabbitMq((context, cfg) =>
    {
        cfg.UseMessageRetry(r =>
        {
            r.Handle<RabbitMqConnectionException>();
            r.Interval(5, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
        });

        cfg.Host(builder.Configuration["RabbitMQ:Host"], "/", host =>
        {
            host.Username(builder.Configuration.GetValue("RabbitMQ:Username", "guest"));
            host.Password(builder.Configuration.GetValue("RabbitMQ:Password", "guest"));
        });

        cfg.ConfigureEndpoints(context);
    });
});

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.

app.UseApplicationIdentity();
app.MapControllers();

var retryPolicy = Policy
    .Handle<Exception>()
    .WaitAndRetry(5, _ => TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

retryPolicy.ExecuteAndCapture(() => app.InitDb());

app.Run();

This is a bug in debug view both in Rider and Visual Studio:

RIDER-102834 Evaluating primary constructor's fields works wrong in async/iterator methods YouTrack issue.
Primary constructor variable null in debugger issue @github.

Based on the provided repro (after some changes to setup) the primary constructor is working fine. Changed GetByRoom method to the following:

// var userId = Guid.Parse(User.GetObjectId());

var userId = Guid.NewGuid();
if (!await context.Students.AnyAsync(x => x.Id == userId))
{
    var isNull = context is null;
    Console.WriteLine(isNull);
    var localCopy = context; // for debug view
    return NotFound("Student not found");
}

As shown on the following screenshots the isNull is false and localCopy displays correct value:
