Max Korp bec1fd0811 fix(a2ui): document id="root" entry-point requirement in generation guidelines
The A2UI React renderer (packages/a2ui-renderer/src/react-renderer/a2ui-react/A2uiSurface.tsx:152)
always begins rendering at the component with id="root":

    export const A2uiSurface: React.FC<{...}> = ({ surface }) => {
      // The root component always has ID 'root' and base path '/'
      return <DeferredChild surface={surface} id="root" basePath="/" />;
    };

If no component has that ID, DeferredChild falls through to its loading-
shimmer placeholder, so the surface silently renders as an empty ~30px
rectangle regardless of how many other components are on the surface.

The generation guidelines shipped to the sub-LLM (in @copilotkit/shared
and copilotkit sdk-python) never stated this requirement. Fixed-schema
demos hard-code a component with id="root" in their JSON and work; dynamic
demos relied on the LLM guessing, which it sometimes did and sometimes
didn't. The failure mode is particularly nasty: no error, no warning,
just a loading spinner that never resolves.

Adds the requirement to COMPONENT ID RULES in both the TS and Python
guideline strings. Both strings are injected into the sub-LLM's context
by A2UICatalogContext (packages/react-core) and
copilotkit.a2ui.a2ui_prompt() respectively, so every A2UI-enabled app
picks it up automatically — no per-demo change needed.

Stacked on #4216, which restores the same instruction to the
langgraph-python-threads demo's tool docstring (belt-and-braces until
consumers update their shared package version).
