Martha Kelly Schumann d60285c337 fix(react-core): preserve generated thread tool followups (#5043)
## Summary
- keep `CopilotChat` agents aligned to SDK-generated thread IDs even
when `/connect` is intentionally skipped for non-explicit threads
- stabilize `CopilotKitProvider` default object props so rerenders do
not re-sync an empty local agent registry and replace the live
remote/Intelligence agent mid-run
- add regression coverage for SDK-generated thread frontend-tool
follow-up runs and provider empty-agent rerender stability
- add a focused langgraph-python showcase demo, aimock fixture,
Playwright smoke, and QA checklist for ENT-658
- add a patch changeset for `@copilotkit/react-core`

## Testing
- `npx nx run @copilotkit/react-core:test --
src/v2/components/chat/__tests__/CopilotChat.absentThreadConnect.test.tsx`
- `npx nx run @copilotkit/react-core:test --
src/v2/providers/__tests__/CopilotKitProvider.stability.test.tsx`
- Pre-commit hook passed: `pnpm run test` and `pnpm run check:packages`
- Verified exact `CopilotKit/Intelligence` repro branch
`mme/threadid-repro`: unchecked `Explicit threadId`, sent `invoke
testFrontendToolCalling with label X`, confirmed user message/tool
card/assistant reply remain visible
- Verified the same Intelligence repro with `Explicit threadId` checked
- `pnpm exec playwright test
tests/e2e/threadid-frontend-tool-roundtrip.spec.ts --project=chromium
--workers=1` from `showcase/integrations/langgraph-python`

## QA Checklist
- [x] Reproduce the reset in `CopilotKit/Intelligence` branch
`mme/threadid-repro` with `Explicit threadId` unchecked
- [x] Confirm generated-thread frontend-tool round-trip preserves the
user message, tool card, and assistant response
- [x] Confirm explicit-thread frontend-tool round-trip still preserves
the user message, tool card, and assistant response
- [x] Open `/demos/threadid-frontend-tool-roundtrip` in the
langgraph-python showcase demo
- [x] Confirm `Explicit threadId` is unchecked and the chat starts in
SDK-generated thread mode
- [x] Send `invoke testFrontendToolCalling with label X`
- [x] Confirm the user message remains visible
- [x] Confirm the `testFrontendToolCalling` card remains visible and
shows `label: X` plus `result: handled X`
- [x] Confirm the assistant reply `Frontend tool finished for X.`
appears
- [x] Confirm the chat does not return to the empty state
- [x] Repeat with `Explicit threadId` checked and confirm the
explicit-thread path is unchanged

## Notes
The visible reset had two frontend-side causes. First, the chat and
agent could diverge when the SDK generated the thread ID. Second, in
Intelligence mode, provider rerenders could re-sync an empty local agent
registry and replace the live remote agent instance mid-run, dropping
the in-memory chat stream. Both fixes live in `@copilotkit/react-core`.

The Playwright file is intentionally a smoke test for the demo
route/toggle. The source-level regressions live in
`CopilotChat.absentThreadConnect.test.tsx` and
`CopilotKitProvider.stability.test.tsx`.
