Benjamin Taylor b394f06fdc refactor(channels): rename @copilotkit/bot* packages to @copilotkit/channels* (OSS-438)
Renames the Bots SDK to the Channels SDK. Names only — no behavior change.

- 8 packages @copilotkit/bot* -> @copilotkit/channels* (git mv dirs, names,
  workspace: cross-deps). Now includes @copilotkit/bot-intelligence ->
  @copilotkit/channels-intelligence (landed on main via #5761; unpublished, so
  renamed fresh with the family).
- release.config.json scope keys + versionSource; ReleaseScope union;
  canary/stable-release/publish-release scope dropdowns; verify script
- examples/slack (Kite) + examples/teams: deps, jsxImportSource, imports
- showcase/shell-docs: content dirs docs/bots->docs/channels and
  reference/bot->reference/channels, nav registry, redirects

createBot and other API names unchanged. Old @copilotkit/bot* to be deprecated
after the new packages publish (bot-intelligence was never published).

Re-derived onto latest main (was conflicting after #5761 landed).

Teams app package

The Teams app manifest + icons you sideload into Microsoft Teams to install the bot. Build the .zip with one command, then upload it in Teams → Apps → Manage your apps → Upload a custom app.

Build it

From examples/teams:

pnpm package

This validates everything Teams needs and writes appPackage/appPackage.zip:

  • Bot id: read from MICROSOFT_APP_ID / CLIENT_ID / clientId (env or examples/teams/.env) and injected into manifest.json's bots[0].botId, so the committed manifest stays a placeholder and you never hardcode your id. Must be the Application (client) ID (a GUID) of the Entra app bound to your Azure Bot.
  • Icons: color.png (192×192) and outline.png (32×32). Auto-generated as CopilotKit-purple placeholders if missing; drop in your own PNGs of those exact sizes to brand it.
  • Manifest: checked for valid JSON and the required bot fields.

If something's missing the script tells you exactly what and how to fix it.

What's here

  • manifest.json: the app manifest template (botId is a placeholder; the build injects the real one). Edit developer / name / description to taste.
  • color.png / outline.png: placeholder icons (regenerated if deleted).
  • package.mjs: the dependency-free build script (pnpm package).
  • appPackage.zip: the build output (gitignored).

The bot only replies once your hosted endpoint is set as the Azure Bot messaging endpoint. Installing the package just registers the bot in Teams.
