Read the section underneath the part you marked with the red triangle.

> // `global.keys()` returns a list of all properties set in global context.  
> // This allows them to be displayed in the Context Sidebar within the editor.  
> // In some circumstances it is not desirable to expose them to the editor. The  
> // following property can be used to hide any property set in `functionGlobalContext`  
> // from being list by `global.keys()`.  
> // By default, the property is set to false to avoid accidental exposure of  
> // their values. Setting this to true will cause the keys to be listed.  
> exportGlobalContextKeys: false,

Change exportGlobalContextKeys to true.
