✅

You have a typo, a missing ‘S’ at the end of TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS, perhaps just in your question? Setting should be:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
 "django.core.context_processors.debug",
 "django.core.context_processors.i18n",
 "django.core.context_processors.media",
 "django.core.context_processors.static",
 "django.core.context_processors.tz",
 "django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages",
 "django.core.context_processors.request",)

, not TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR = .... I prefer to override the setting entirely so it’s clear what’s active (you might want to disable debug in production, for instance).

Do you use the Django’s Session framework? Then yes, request.session will do nothing, since the a session is a dict-like object and the template engine does not know how to render it.
