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.
Honors the SoT "never infer managed intent from a direct adapter" rule.
Channel.adapters is a new additive read-only member; verified no consumer
constructs Channel literals (only createChannel does).
Reconcile #5814 with the @copilotkit/bot*→@copilotkit/channels* rename (#5849):
- relocate the new files (content-parts, intelligence-state-store[.test]) into
packages/channels-intelligence and rename their imports to @copilotkit/channels*
- resolve the intelligence-adapter.ts / http-transports.test.ts import-header
conflicts to the new package names (keeping #5814's symbol set — no unused
AgentContentPart; vi/afterEach retained for the fetch-stubbing tests)
- rename lingering imports in transports.ts / http-transports.ts
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@copilotkit/channels-intelligence (landed on main via #5761; unpublished, so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).
