Follow-up to the OSS-473 clean-break rename (#5963). Scrubs the last
internal "bot" vestiges deliberately left out of 473's atomic
telemetry-surface commit. Naming-only, no behavior change.
- `bot` local variable → `channel` in create-channel.ts factory internals
and the ~15 test files that exercise it.
- `BotNode` type → `ChannelNode` in @copilotkit/channels-ui and every
importer (channels, slack/teams/discord/telegram/whatsapp/intelligence
adapters, and the slack/teams examples).
- `botName` adapter-SPI option → `channelName`: renamed on
AdapterStartContext, its create-channel caller, and the one adapter that
reads it (IntelligenceAdapter.start ctx) in the same change so the SPI
cannot drift. The Phoenix wire contract was already `channelName` (473).
- Stale `bot-ui`/`bot-slack` package refs and "bot core"/"the bot" prose in
channels/channels-ui comments → `channels-ui`/`channels-slack`/"channel".
- `Symbol.for("copilotkit.bot-ui.*")` → `"copilotkit.channels-ui.*"`.
Deliberately kept: the platform `isBot?` author flag (an unrelated
"is this message author a bot account" semantic), and example `bot`
instance variables / "demo bot" prose (user-facing, out of this ticket's
internal-symbol scope).
Validation: DoD grep returns zero internal bot symbols in
packages/channels + packages/channels-ui; check-types + test green across
all 8 channels packages (1093 tests) and both examples.
Renames the Bots SDK to the Channels SDK. Names only — no behavior change.
- 8 packages @copilotkit/bot* -> @copilotkit/channels* (git mv dirs, names,
workspace: cross-deps). Now includes @copilotkit/bot-intelligence ->
@copilotkit/channels-intelligence (landed on main via #5761; unpublished, so
renamed fresh with the family).
- release.config.json scope keys + versionSource; ReleaseScope union;
canary/stable-release/publish-release scope dropdowns; verify script
- examples/slack (Kite) + examples/teams: deps, jsxImportSource, imports
- showcase/shell-docs: content dirs docs/bots->docs/channels and
reference/bot->reference/channels, nav registry, redirects
createBot and other API names unchanged. Old @copilotkit/bot* to be deprecated
after the new packages publish (bot-intelligence was never published).
Re-derived onto latest main (was conflicting after #5761 landed).
Refs OSS-438
Add per-feature demos to examples/slack that narrate per-platform degradation
explicitly rather than failing silently:
- emoji triage — 🐛/🔥/✅ reactions file/escalate/ack via the agent
- /preview — ephemeral draft issue (native only-you on Slack, DM fallback on
Discord/Telegram)
- /file-issue — modal form (Slack rich, Discord text-only, Telegram
conversational fallback)
Also updates the Slack frontend guide (slack.mdx) with the capability matrix.
Adds a durable persistence layer for @copilotkit/bot, replacing the
in-memory-only ActionStore with a pluggable StateStore.
- StateStore interface (kv/list/lock/dedup/queue) with a shared
conformance suite; MemoryStore default plus @copilotkit/bot-store-redis
and @copilotkit/bot-store-postgres backends.
- createBot({ store }): typed per-thread state via Standard Schema,
action snapshots persisted through the store, per-conversation turn
lock (onLockConflict drop|force), and inbound-event dedup keyed on a
stable eventId. ActionStore is kept as a deprecated alias.
- Cross-platform transcripts (bot.transcripts + identity resolver) with
age-bounded retention (prune on append + filter on read), and
runAgent({ transcript: true }) to auto-inject history and capture the
reply.
- createBot({ components }) re-registers components so durable actions
re-fire after a restart; restart-durability demo in examples/slack.
- Dedup is marked seen only after the turn lock is acquired, so a turn
dropped on lock-conflict does not burn its eventId (no lost retries).
- Release lockstep: bot-store-redis/postgres version with bot + bot-ui.
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.
