## What broke
The regression was introduced by commit fec70d086 (feat(angular):
checkpoint 2 - core and package), merged through PR #6109 as b07482da5.
That commit established Angular 20 as the package’s compiler and support
floor, but the demo remained on Angular 21 after 8b13fbcb7 (build:
update ng).
It also introduced the packed smoke runner without canonicalizing macOS
temporary paths, allowing /var/... and /private/var/... to resolve
inconsistently.
## Why I made this change
I moved the demo back to Angular 20 so it exercises the lowest supported
Angular version, aligned the Angular 20 dependencies and support
contract on
20.3.27, and canonicalized the packed consumer directory before starting
the SSR server.
This keeps the demo, package metadata, tests, and lockfile consistent
while making the packed smoke test reliable across symlinked temporary
directories.
## Changes
- Align the Angular demo with the Angular 20 support floor.
- Update Angular 20 dependencies and support-policy tests to 20.3.27.
- Resolve the packed consumer directory to its real path before
launching SSR.
## What changes
This replaces the managed Channels adapter and transport stack with live
sessions over Realtime Gateway.
- Channels use the standard AgentRunner and canonical AG-UI history for
each turn.
- One admitted delivery runs one prompt; multiple agent calls run in
order; concurrent calls fail with a bounded protocol error.
- Slack and Teams reuse their native renderers to emit destination-free
provider effects.
- Files, rich controls, interaction handlers, and provider cursors cross
the live-session protocol with bounded payloads.
- The old claim mapping, HTTP fallback, render batches, listener
election, in-memory transport, and legacy adapter code are removed.
- The public `@copilotkit/channels` umbrella remains limited to public
provider adapters; the managed launcher stays in
`@copilotkit/channels-intelligence`.
Companion service PR and kind proof:
https://github.com/CopilotKit/Intelligence/pull/638
## Why
Managed delivery must use the same AgentRunner path as other
Intelligence runs. SDK code emits provider-neutral effects; the trusted
Gateway owns credentials, destinations, admission, retries, and terminal
outcomes.
## Validation
- `pnpm nx run-many -t build,check-types,test -p
@copilotkit/channels-core,@copilotkit/channels-intelligence,@copilotkit/channels-slack,@copilotkit/channels-teams,@copilotkit/channels,@copilotkit/runtime`
— 31 tasks passed
- `pnpm nx test @copilotkit/channels-teams` — 89 passed
- `pnpm vitest run scripts/release/lib/channels-umbrella.test.ts` — 8
passed
- `pnpm verify:channels-umbrella` — packed snapshot, dependency
resolution, and TSX consumer passed
- affected package pre-commit tests, publint, and API type checks passed
- changed-file Prettier and `git diff --check` passed
## Known unrelated check
`pnpm nx build demo` now compiles past the prior Channels telemetry
dependency leak, then fails on the existing AG-UI 0.0.51 versus 0.0.57
private `_debug` type mismatch.
After the npx fix each publish is ~4.7s and almost entirely a registry
round-trip, so a 26-package scope=all canary still spent ~125s waiting
serially. Publish 4 at a time (CANARY_PUBLISH_CONCURRENCY=1 restores
serial for debugging).
This weakens no ordering invariant. prerelease.ts's own header already
documents that the cross-scope graph has cycles (runtime ->
channels-intelligence, channels-core -> core), so no serial order avoided
publishing a package before the same-run version it pins.
Per-package output is captured and replayed as one block rather than
inherited, since a pool would otherwise interleave several npm publishes
line-by-line — and that log is the only forensic record when a canary
half-publishes. Every package is attempted even if others fail, so one
report names all of them; main() now exits non-zero on failure rather
than letting an unhandled rejection pass the step.

The canary flow took ~11.5 min steady-state (and 20 min in an observed
run). Measured from run 30473499191, the time went to five avoidable
places rather than to real work.
1. `npx --yes npm@11.15.0 publish` ran per package, and npx re-resolves
the spec against the registry on EVERY invocation: ~16s of each
package's ~21s. A 9-package channels canary paid ~2.4 min of pure npx
overhead; a 16-package monorepo release paid over 4 min. Hoist the
pinned npm into lib/npm-cli.ts, install it once into a throwaway
prefix, and reuse the binary.
2. publish-release.yml was the only workflow in the repo with no pnpm
store cache, so all three jobs installed 4608 packages cold every
time. Usually ~45s each, but registry-bandwidth bound and heavy
tailed: the observed run spent 9m08s here on tarballs arriving at
2-49 KiB/s. Add the same node-version-keyed cache the rest of CI uses.
3. The notify job ran for canaries only to compute "post nothing" — the
builder already returns should_post=false for mode=prerelease and the
self-watchdog is already gated off. ~85s of dead work on the critical
path, since canary.yml waits for the whole run. Skip the job, keeping
it reachable for a python_publish dispatch.
4. The build job fetched full history for canaries, which need none (no
tag, no GH Release, no release-note commit range, and `nx run-many`
resolves no merge base). That rode along in the 837 MiB workspace
artifact too. Shallow-fetch prereleases; stable keeps depth 0 because
its publish job pushes tags out of that artifact's .git.
5. Two smaller ones: the artifact was gzipped and then re-deflated into
the artifact zip (compression-level: 0), and the orchestrator's
run-discovery loop slept 6s before its first poll.
Verified: 143 release-script tests pass (6 new for the npm-cli helper),
actionlint + shellcheck + the scope-dropdown guard are clean, the
prerelease dry-run path still enumerates all 9 channels packages, and a
live probe confirms the helper installs npm 11.15.0 once (3.2s) and
memoizes thereafter (0ms).

`verify:runtime-package` could not pass on a channels release PR. `pnpm pack`
rewrites the runtime's `workspace:` ranges to the workspace's current version,
so on a release PR the temp consumer tried to resolve the freshly-bumped
`@copilotkit/channels-intelligence` from npm — the version this very PR is
about to publish. It failed `unit (20.x)` by construction on #6185 and #6025.
Apply the fix `verify-channels-umbrella` already uses: pack the whole
first-party `workspace:` closure locally and pin it through pnpm `overrides`.
The packing helpers move to `lib/pack-workspace.ts` so both scripts share one
implementation instead of duplicating it.
The contract is unchanged: the packed runtime must still declare
channels-intelligence as a real dependency, and it must still load through
both ESM and CJS.
Adversarial pass on the previous commit. The warning only inspected
`workspace:` ranges, so it missed the OTHER way a cross-scope pin goes stale: a
literal version range naming a package in another scope. `bumpPackages` rewrites
literal ranges for in-scope packages only, so such a pin survives every bump —
`scope=all` publishes the canary and the artifact still resolves the dependency's
last stable release, silently, which is the exact failure this warning exists to
surface.
`findCrossScopeWorkspaceDeps` becomes `findCrossScopePins`, reporting both shapes
tagged with a `reason`, and the literal case carries its own remedy (convert to
`workspace:`) instead of the useless "re-run with scope=all".
No such pin exists in the tree today — every cross-scope edge is `workspace:` —
so this closes a latent hole rather than a live one, in the one place a future
refactor would reintroduce it.
Also documents the multi-scope partial-failure mode in prerelease.ts: the
cross-scope graph has cycles, so no publish order avoids a package shipping
before the same-run version it pins, and npm's no-republish rule means a failed
run must be retried under a new suffix.
Two release-tooling defects turned a pair of canary publishes into a broken
combination for consumers (a canary runtime resolving the last STABLE
channels-intelligence, which still called the removed `channel.addAdapter`).
1. Canary versions were prereleases of an ALREADY-PUBLISHED version. A stable
release leaves the working tree on the version it just published, and
computePrereleaseVersion appended `-canary.<id>` to exactly that, so the
canary sorted BELOW its own release (`0.2.1-canary.x < 0.2.1`): the `canary`
dist-tag pointed behind `latest`, and no dependent range could ever resolve
it. Base the canary on the next unreleased version instead (patch bump,
reusing computeNextStableVersion's prerelease rule).
2. A canary published one scope at a time, but the scopes are only independent
on the version axis. `@copilotkit/runtime` carries
`"@copilotkit/channels-intelligence": "workspace:*"`, and `pnpm pack`
resolves that against the working tree — so a `monorepo` canary pinned the
channels family to its last stable release even when the commit changed both
sides of the contract. Add a prerelease-only `all` selector that bumps and
publishes every scope from one commit under one shared canary id, and warn
loudly when a single-scope canary leaves a cross-scope pin behind.
`all` is a selector, never a scope: stable releases stay single-scope (their
tag, release branch, and npm/Slack links all derive from one scope name), which
publish-release.yml enforces in both jobs and the dropdown guard enforces per
workflow.
The packed Channels umbrella (and the runtime-package verify) install
first-party packages straight from the registry, so a just-published
@copilotkit/* version fails pnpm's 24h minimumReleaseAge check — this is
what reddened `unit (20.x)` on channels PRs. The enumerated exclude lists
drift every time an internal dependency is added (main already had to bolt
on @copilotkit/channels-core, then #6012 added @copilotkit/core + shared).
Wildcard the @copilotkit/* scope (org-owned, same publish pipeline — no
outsider can inject a package, and it stops the drift). Keep @ag-ui
enumerated rather than wildcarded: it's a separate upstream org, so we don't
extend immediate-install trust to its entire scope. Third-party deps stay
fully gated. Applied to both the generated consumer workspace and the
repo-root .npmrc.
Verified: `pnpm run verify:channels-umbrella` installs the packed umbrella
with no ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION; umbrella unit tests green.

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
Brings the 499-commit-stale foundations branch up to date with main so #5761
has a clean diff and no stale reverts (e.g. forwardHeaders). Conflicts:
- CopilotThreadsDrawer.tsx: took main's (main renamed CopilotDrawer -> ThreadsDrawer
+ added the collapse feature; the branch's edit was a no-op import-type split).
- pnpm-lock.yaml: regenerated with the pinned pnpm 10.33.4 (adds @copilotkit/bot-intelligence).
Move the Intelligence-delivered managed-bot surface out of @copilotkit/bot into
its own package so the adapter, transports, contracts, and lifecycle ship
independently of bot core.
- New @copilotkit/bot-intelligence: intelligenceAdapter + DeliverySource/EgressSink
(+ in-memory impls) + placeholder contracts + startManagedBots/validation/
activation metadata. Production code imports only types from @copilotkit/bot
and @copilotkit/bot-ui.
- @copilotkit/bot keeps the generic PlatformCodec seam (moved to src/codec.ts) and
all core createBot changes (addAdapter, deferred store, id fields,
__managed/skipIngressDedup, exclusive guard). It now also exports the
FakeAdapter/FakeAgent test utilities for downstream adapter-package tests.
- Registered the new release scope: release.config.json, scripts/release/lib/
config.ts, and the canary/publish/stable release workflows.
Tests preserved: bot 150 + bot-intelligence 19 (= the prior 169); bot-slack 261.
Builds typecheck across bot/bot-intelligence/bot-slack/runtime; publint/attw/
oxlint/oxfmt clean.
The StateStore interface and the in-memory MemoryStore default remain;
durable backends can be reintroduced as a follow-up. Both adapter packages
were merged in #5613 but never published to npm, so removal is a clean
delete with no consumer impact.
- Delete packages/bot-store-redis and packages/bot-store-postgres.
- Revert the bot release scope and drift guard to bot + bot-ui.
- Strip the Redis dep, demo:restart script, restart demo, docker-compose,
and REDIS_URL env from examples/slack.
- Rewrite the bot persistence/transcripts docs around "MemoryStore default
+ implement the StateStore interface yourself for durability".
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.
Round-2 review fixes for the GITHUB_OUTPUT helper and the release scripts
that emit through it.
emitGithubOutputs (scripts/release/lib/github-output.ts):
- Replace the key newline/CR check with a full GitHub-Actions-safe charset
check: /^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$/. A key containing "=" or whitespace
would silently corrupt the key=value line; rejecting up-front is
strictly safer. Value validation (single-line) is unchanged — "=" in
values is legal because GitHub splits on the first "=".
- Update the docblock accordingly.
prerelease.ts:
- Remove the dead `?? getCurrentVersion(scope)` fallback. The empty-list
guard above makes packages[0] guaranteed, and the fallback would have
masked a package.json missing its version field by emitting a version
divergent from what the loop publishes. Fail loudly with an explicit
exit instead.
- Drop the now-unused getCurrentVersion import.
- Add a comment above the dry-run emitGithubOutputs call explaining that
emitting in dry-run is safe — the publish workflow gates publish + the
verify guard on inputs.dry-run != true, so the dry-run emission only
serves local/e2e contract verification.
publish-release.ts:
- Hoist getPackagesForScope + empty-list guard above the prerelease-suffix
and registry checks. A misconfigured scope now fails with the clear
"no packages found" error instead of a misleading "not greater than
published" one. Loop is unchanged.
github-output.test.ts:
- Loosen the key-newline assertion from the JSON.stringify-coupled
/bad\\nkey/ to the stable /alphanumeric/ phrase from the new message.
- Add tests: "=" in key throws, space in key throws, empty key throws,
and "=" in value is accepted and written verbatim (note=a=b).
- Move vi.restoreAllMocks() to the top of afterEach so spies cannot leak
into env restore + rmSync cleanup.
Call sites audited:
- emitGithubOutputs: only ever called with {version, scope} (prerelease,
publish-release) — all valid under the new charset.
- publishVersion derivation: only used inside prerelease.ts main().
- getCurrentVersion: still imported by publish-release.ts, bump-prerelease.ts,
prepare-release.ts; only the prerelease.ts import was removed.
- getPackagesForScope hoist in publish-release.ts: `packages` was only
read inside the publish loop below; nothing earlier depended on it.
Hardens the new GITHUB_OUTPUT emission path so a malformed value can't smuggle
extra `key=value` lines into the workflow's step outputs, and so the workflow's
"Verify publish step emitted version" guard can't be fooled by a publish that
did nothing.
emitGithubOutputs now validates every key/value for `\n`/`\r` BEFORE the
GITHUB_OUTPUT early-return — a malformed value is a caller bug and should fail
loudly even when running locally. A multi-line value would need the heredoc
form, which this helper deliberately does not support.
prerelease.ts and publish-release.ts now fail loud when getPackagesForScope
returns an empty list. Without this, the new GITHUB_OUTPUT emission would make
the workflow's "Verify publish step emitted version" guard pass on a run that
published nothing — previously the missing output made such a run fail. The
guard runs BEFORE the dry-run branch in prerelease.ts. In publish-release.ts,
the inline iteration of getPackagesForScope(scope) is hoisted to a `packages`
const so the same guard fires before the publish loop.
The "no-op when GITHUB_OUTPUT is unset" test now spies on fs.appendFileSync
and asserts it wasn't called (the previous read of the unrelated temp file
was vacuously true). New tests cover newline/CR in value and newline in key.
The prerelease.ts usage string previously advertised `[--suffix <label>]`,
but the script never parses --suffix (suffix handling lives in
bump-prerelease.ts per the header comment). Removed.
Call sites enumerated:
- emitGithubOutputs: prerelease.ts (dry-run + post-publish), publish-release.ts
- getPackagesForScope: prerelease.ts, publish-release.ts (this commit);
bump-prerelease.ts, prepare-release.ts, versions.ts (not changed — out of
scope for this hardening)
Verification:
- npx vitest run --config scripts/release/vitest.config.mts → 91 passed
- Red-green for the newline validation: temporarily removed the validation,
the 3 new newline/CR tests failed (assertion: expected fn to throw); restored,
back to green.
- E2E: GITHUB_OUTPUT="$OUT" pnpm release:prerelease:dry succeeded and the
output file contained `version=1.59.5` and `scope=monorepo`.
Note: Fix 2's empty-list guard fires only on a misconfigured scope (no unit
test reachable — prerelease.ts is outside the vitest include glob and the
guard is boundary validation against a misconfigured scope, not a behavior
worth contriving a test harness for).
prerelease.ts published canaries successfully but never wrote the
version output the publish-release workflow's "Verify publish step
emitted version" guard reads, so every canary dispatch ended red after
a successful publish. Extract the GITHUB_OUTPUT append (previously
inline in publish-release.ts) into a shared lib/github-output.ts helper
and call it from both publish scripts.
Call-site enumeration:
- emitGithubOutputs: declared lib/github-output.ts; called from
prerelease.ts (dry-run path + after publish) and publish-release.ts
(replaces the inline appendFileSync block, same version=/scope= keys).
- No symbols removed; fs import in publish-release.ts still used (3
remaining call sites).
Add a pure builder that renders one concise #oss-alerts Slack message
per release from a unit-tested truth table: suppresses canary/dry-run
runs, gates npm/PyPI failure arms on event-derived release intent, and
pages on uncertain state. The CLI wrapper serializes env input to the
builder and writes the result to GITHUB_OUTPUT, failing loud on any
malformed or missing input.
- Add tests for bumpPackages: verifies workspace:* protocol is
preserved and exact version deps are updated
- Add vitest config for scripts/release/
- Add release script test step to test_unit.yml so these run on
every PR and push to main
bumpPackages was overwriting internal dependency references like
"workspace:*" with the new version string, causing pnpm to try
resolving the version from the npm registry (which fails because
it hasn't been published yet). Now skips deps using workspace protocol.
Each release scope has its own packages, version source, and
independent version track:
- monorepo: 12 core @copilotkit/* packages (shared version)
- cli: copilotkit CLI (independent version)
- angular: @copilotkitnext/angular (independent version)
Branch pattern is now release/publish/<scope>/v<version> and git
tags use <scope>/v<version> for non-monorepo scopes.
- Replace import.meta.dirname (Node 21.2+) with fileURLToPath
workaround for Node 20 compatibility
- Rename workflows to release / pre, release / publish, release /
create-pr so they group together in the Actions UI
- Fix semver regex to allow hyphens in prerelease identifiers
- Add unit tests for parseSemver, computeNextStableVersion,
computePrereleaseVersion
Replace changesets with a simple, stateless release system:
Stable release (PR-gated):
Actions → "create release PR" → pick patch/minor/major → CI runs →
merge → publishes to npm, creates git tag + GitHub Release
Prerelease (ad-hoc):
Actions → "publish / prerelease" → publishes current version with
-canary.<suffix|timestamp> to npm under "canary" tag
Key features:
- All 12 core @copilotkit/* packages share a single version
- AI-generated release notes via Anthropic API
- Notion draft for team editing before merge
- Notion link commented on the release PR
- Guards: concurrent release PR check, version > npm check, clean
semver check, canary-only prerelease tag
- release/publish/v* branch pattern (hard to accidentally match)
- TypeScript throughout (tsx runner)
- release.config.json with versionedTogether/versionedIndependently
