The shell-dashboard app baked http://localhost:3000 into every demo and code link because NEXT_PUBLIC_SHELL_URL was never provided at build time and the source defaulted to localhost. Next.js inlines NEXT_PUBLIC_* at next build, so setting the value on Railway at runtime does nothing.
Fix: remove the silent localhost fallback, pass NEXT_PUBLIC_SHELL_URL as a Docker build arg from showcase_deploy.yml, and fail loudly if it's unset at build so this can't regress silently.
- Renamed showcase/shell-internal/ → showcase/shell-dashboard/ (git mv for history).
- Updated package name to @copilotkit/showcase-shell-dashboard (+ lockfile).
- Updated external references: showcase/scripts/{probe-docs,generate-status}.ts comments and showcase/README.md.
- Added dispatch + filter + ALL_SERVICES entry for shell-dashboard in .github/workflows/showcase_deploy.yml.
- Provisioned Railway service showcase-shell-dashboard (id 4d5dfd74-be61-40b2-8564-b53b7dd4c15b):
- image source ghcr.io/copilotkit/showcase-shell-dashboard:latest
- env vars OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, PORT copied from showcase-shell
- custom domain dashboard.showcase.copilotkit.ai attached (CNAME → 6u9icvje.up.railway.app)
- image will be built and pushed via showcase_deploy.yml on merge
