The example declared its sibling @copilotkit/* packages as npm version
ranges, so the Railway service (which builds examples/slack in isolation)
resolved them from the registry — forcing a "publish first, then bump the
example" dance on every PR, with a broken deploy window in between.
Switch those deps to the workspace:* protocol (the example is private, so
it never affects publishing) so the example always builds from in-repo
source, and add a graph-aware `build` script that compiles the workspace
libs it imports (and their deps) via Nx. README documents the Railway
settings (root dir / build / start / watch paths) and the copy-out caveat.
Result: a packages/** change redeploys the example with the new code
immediately, and npm publishing becomes an independent manual step.
Point all @copilotkit/* deps at workspace:* so the example uses local source (the Telegram work is unpublished and depends on the core HITL fix). Add global unhandledRejection/uncaughtException handlers and guard the onMention/onThreadStarted handlers so a failed turn cannot crash the bot. Update deploy docs.
examples/slack now starts a Slack bot and/or a Telegram bot from one platform-neutral app layer, env-conditional on which credentials are set. Neutralized Slack-specific rendering so the shared components work on both platforms: unicode glyphs instead of mrkdwn shortcodes, no Block Kit raw fallbacks, neutral context/tool wording. Migrated the Telegram e2e smoke harness and BotFather setup docs; removed the separate examples/telegram app.
Document that the slack example consumes the published @copilotkit/bot*
packages and that deploys (e.g. Railway) must include the repo-root
pnpm-lock.yaml / package.json in their watch paths, so a dependency bump
triggers a rebuild and a frozen install doesn't fail on an out-of-date
lockfile. Touches examples/slack/** to trigger the Railway redeploy of the
current main (which now carries the deployable-lockfile fix).
100% JSX bot at feature parity with the PoC example: issue/page cards,
tables, Chart.js charts, Mermaid diagrams, incident/status/links cards,
a confirm_write HITL gate, and /agent + /triage slash commands.
Registers examples/slack in the pnpm workspace.
