Ben Taylor 855446e1ab fix(runtime): stop finalizeRunEvents emitting events after a terminal (#5812) (#5885)
## Summary

Pressing **Stop** while an assistant message is streaming
(CopilotRuntime + `HttpAgent` proxy) crashed the chat with:

```
Cannot send event type 'TEXT_MESSAGE_END': The run has already errored with 'RUN_ERROR'. No further events can be sent.
```

Root cause: `finalizeRunEvents` appended a trailing `TEXT_MESSAGE_END`
**after** the `RUN_ERROR` that the aborted agent had already emitted.

Fixes #5812.

## Root cause

When the upstream agent (e.g. pydantic-ai's `AGUIAdapter`) is aborted
mid-stream it emits a live `RUN_ERROR` while a text message is still
open — it does **not** close the message first. All runners
(`in-memory`, `intelligence`, `sqlite`) stream `finalizeRunEvents`'
output *after* everything the agent already emitted, so the appended
closer landed past the terminal:

| | outgoing event order |
|---|---|
| **Before** | `… TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT → RUN_ERROR → TEXT_MESSAGE_END` ❌
verifier throws |
| **After** | `… TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT → RUN_ERROR` ✅ terminal closes the
message client-side |

Per the AG-UI invariant: at most one terminal event per run, and no
sub-events after it. I confirmed against the real `@ag-ui/client`
`verifyEvents` (the verifier the browser runs) that a terminal arriving
with a message still open is valid — the terminal implicitly closes it.

## Fix

`finalizeRunEvents` (in `@copilotkit/shared`) now returns early and
appends **nothing** when the stream already contains a terminal event
(`RUN_FINISHED` or `RUN_ERROR`). The abrupt-end path (no terminal →
close open streams + synthesize a terminal, in the correct order) is
unchanged. No API/signature change; the in-memory, intelligence, and
sqlite runners all inherit the fix.

## Testing

RED→GREEN verified — each new/updated assertion was confirmed to fail
against the pre-fix code:

- **`finalize-events.test.ts`** — terminal-present appends nothing
(parametrized over `RUN_FINISHED` and `RUN_ERROR`) + a named #5812 case.
- **`in-memory-runner.test.ts`** — end-to-end mid-stream-stop
regression: a fake `HttpAgent`-style agent is stopped between
`TEXT_MESSAGE_START` and `TEXT_MESSAGE_END`; asserts no events follow
`RUN_ERROR` **and** that the collected stream passes `verifyEvents`
(before the fix this threw the exact browser error).
- **`intelligence-runner.test.ts`** — corrected a pre-existing assertion
that had encoded the buggy post-terminal `TEXT_MESSAGE_END`.

Green: full `@copilotkit/runtime` suite, `@copilotkit/sqlite-runner`,
`@copilotkit/shared`, `check-types`, `oxlint` (0 errors), and build.

## Reviewer notes

- The behavior change is a single early-return in `finalize-events.ts`;
the `terminalEventMissing` guards simplify away because they're only
reachable when no terminal exists.
