- 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
Replace eslint and prettier with oxlint and oxfmt for faster linting
and formatting across the monorepo. Remove all eslint and prettier
configs, dependencies, and related packages. Add .oxlintrc.json and
.oxfmtrc.json for the new tooling. Update CI workflows and lefthook
hooks accordingly. Reformat codebase with oxfmt.

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
