The top-level docs/ app is retired but nothing said so, and two
instruction surfaces still pointed contributors there. Establish a
single canonical rule and reduce the other surfaces to pointers.
- Add .claude/docs/documentation.md as the source of truth: CopilotKit
docs are authored in showcase/shell-docs/src/content/; the top-level
docs/ folder is retired; AG-UI protocol docs are authored upstream in
ag-ui-protocol/ag-ui and mirrored here.
- CLAUDE.md: add an Essentials rule and a Reference link.
- docs/README.md: replace boilerplate with a retired/STOP banner.
- .claude/docs/hooks.md: fix the stale /docs pointer; document that a
hook's API reference page lives in reference/hooks/ and that v2
reference nav is generated from frontmatter (no meta.json).
- CONTRIBUTING.md: add a two-domain documentation section.
Flatten all packages from packages/v1/* and packages/v2/* into packages/* —
every package now lives directly under the @copilotkit/ scope with no v1/v2
subdirectories.
- Move all v1 packages (react-core, react-ui, runtime, shared, etc.) from
packages/v1/* to packages/*
- Absorb v2 react code into packages/react-core/src/v2/ (exported via /v2 subpath)
- Absorb v2 agent code into packages/runtime/src/agent/ (exported via /v2 subpath)
- Move v2 packages (core, angular, demo-agents, etc.) to packages/*
- Replace all @copilotkitnext/* imports with @copilotkit/* equivalents
- Keep @copilotkitnext/angular as the sole exception (angular remains on next)
- Update CI workflows, renovate config, release scripts for flat structure
- No public API surface changes — all exports fields are preserved
