If contextuality in Bohmian mechanics is grounded in the pilot-wave ontology rather than the Hilbert-space structure, then contextuality is a feature of supplementary interpretive commitments, not of QM per se.

pilot-wave ontology(as the foundational reality claimed by Bohmian mechanics)
The basic assumption in Bohmian mechanics that reality fundamentally consists of particles guided by invisible waves—'ontology' means what actually exists.
quantum mechanics (QM)(as the fundamental science being discussed)
The science of how subatomic particles (electrons, photons, etc.) and atoms behave—the rules are very different from the everyday physics we experience.
supplementary interpretive commitments(as additional claims beyond the theory itself)
Extra beliefs or assumptions you have to add on top of a theory to make it work—things beyond what the core theory itself requires.
