`src/v2/context.ts` was compiled into two independent bundles. The build
that emits `dist/` (entries `src/index.tsx` + `src/v2/index.ts`) inlined
it into the shared chunk, while a second build emitted the standalone
`dist/v2/context.*`. Nothing linked them, so `createContext()` ran twice
and the package shipped two distinct React contexts.
`CopilotKitProvider` lives in the shared chunk, so it published to the
inlined copy. Anything importing from `@copilotkit/react-core/v2/context`
read the orphaned copy that no provider ever populated, and so saw the
defaults forever: `useLicenseContext().status` stayed `null` even when
`/info` reported `licenseStatus: "valid"`, permanently disabling
license-gated features such as `useThreads`. `CopilotKitContext` was
duplicated the same way, so `useCopilotKit` imported from that subpath
threw "must be used within CopilotKitProvider".
The headless build already externalized the module for exactly this
reason; the plugin was simply never applied to the `dist/` build. Hoist
it and apply it there too. The UMD builds stay self-contained by design.
Compounding this, `src/v2/providers/index.ts` enumerates its exports by
name and omitted `useLicenseContext`, so the live copy had no public
import path at all and consumers had no correct alternative. Export it.
Add a build-time guard, because this class of bug is invisible to every
existing gate: tsc, vitest (which imports source, where only one module
exists), publint and attw were all green while the published package
shipped two contexts. The guard fails against the real published 1.66.4
dist and passes on this build.
Broken since c3c30969e4 (2026-05-06), the commit that introduced the
split — not a 1.66.x regression.
