Overall it makes sense.  The following derivative might be more clear:

    ContextLocal
    ContextLocals
    ChainedContextLocals (or some variation explicitly calling out the chaining)

Alternatively, similar to other suggestions:

    ContextVar
    ContextVars
    ChainedContextVars

I also think "state" helps disambiguate "context":

    ContextVar
    ContextState
    ChainedContextState

or:

    ContextVar
    ContextVars
    ContextState (perhaps a little too ambiguous without the explicit "chained")
