The scaffolded BFF was hitting two issues out of the box:
1. tsx doesn't auto-load .env, and the template's .env lives at the
monorepo root. process.env.COPILOTKIT_LICENSE_TOKEN was undefined
at runtime so the runtime logged 'No license token configured'
even when the user had populated .env via `copilotkit license`.
2. @copilotkit/runtime: next resolved to 1.55.0-next.9, which
predates the thread-naming UUID fix (v1.55.3). The BFF blew up
creating LangGraph threads with 'Invalid thread ID: must be a
UUID' because the runtime passed a compound thread-name:<uuid>:
<uuid> string.
Fix both:
- Switch dev script to `tsx watch --env-file=../../.env src/server.ts`
so tsx loads the monorepo root .env.
- Pin @copilotkit/runtime to `latest` so scaffolds get the
thread-naming fix. (The next dist-tag is still stale on npm.)
