Jordan Ritter 4b4923561b feat: VS Code extension — Hook Explorer, AG-UI Inspector, webview-first sidebars (#3935)
## Summary

Three connected features land together so the CopilotKit VS Code
extension becomes a coherent debugger/preview surface:

1. **Hook Explorer** — every V1 + V2 render hook can be discovered and
previewed live with auto-generated controls, an inline `▶️ Preview
Component` CodeLens, and a sidebar that lists every captured site.
2. **AG-UI Event Inspector** — live SSE debug stream of all AG-UI
events, filterable and color-coded, in a sidebar view + editor panel.
3. **A2UI Catalog sidebar → webview** — the last native TreeView gets
replaced with a Tailwind-styled webview that matches the other two, now
with a proper **Go to source** action on components and fixtures.

## Hook Explorer

### Discovery + preview
- oxc-based scanner walks the workspace and finds every call-site of any
hook in the registry (17 across V1 + V2, render + data).
- Preview panel bundles the user's source via Rolldown (IIFE format,
React externalized, CSS collected per `@copilotkit/a2ui-renderer`
pattern), executes it in the webview with a capture-only **stub** for
`@copilotkit/react-core` (+ `/v2`), and mounts the user's component just
long enough to record each hook's config.
- Auto-generated form on the left/top drives the `render` prop's
args/parameters/state/event live. V1 parameter arrays and V2 Zod /
Standard Schema all map through a unified `FormSchema` derived at
runtime from the captured config.
- `useCopilotAction`, `useCopilotAuthenticatedAction_c`,
`useCoAgentStateRender`, `useLangGraphInterrupt`, `useRenderTool`,
`useRenderToolCall`, `useDefaultRenderTool`, `useLazyToolRenderer`,
`useRenderCustomMessages`, `useRenderActivityMessage`,
`useHumanInTheLoop`, `useInterrupt`, `useFrontendTool`, `useComponent`,
`useDefaultTool` all previewable.
- Inline `▶️ Preview Component` CodeLens above every render-hook call
site, backed by the same `copilotkit.hooks.preview` command as the
sidebar.
- Imported render components work: rolldown walks transitive imports
from the hook's `render` prop through any number of sibling files.
- Cross-file hook switches are robust: controls are reset on load,
Harness only mounts once the real HostRoot is ready, a top-level error
boundary auto-recovers when you pick a different hook.

### Why the stub approach
Bundling the real `@copilotkit/react-core` through rolldown's IIFE
output hit a `__commonJSMin` TDZ chain (`require_clipboard`,
`require_graphql`, `require_context_helpers`, …) because the
chat/runtime-client/markdown graph has circular imports. Externalizing
react-core + routing to a Proxy-backed stub that captures hook configs
avoids the whole CJS wrapping problem, shrinks the preview bundle from
~24 MB to ~1.3 KB, and keeps the preview runtime path completely
runnable without a live CopilotKit backend. Tradeoff documented in
`copilotkit-stubs.ts`.

### Weather-themed fixtures
14+ fixtures under `packages/vscode-extension/test-workspace/hooks`,
each a distinct visual scenario (forecast card, severity-palette alerts
with imported CSS, forecast strip, live radar grid, conic-gradient
precipitation gauge, air-quality badge with imported render, pollen
report with a 2-hop import graph, HITL evacuation confirm,
sunrise/sunset gradient, etc.). Used both as regression fixtures and as
the demo surface for video.

### Styling
- Tailwind-via-CDN + VS Code CSS variables for theme-aware chrome.
- User-provided CSS imports collected by rolldown and injected as a
`<style>` tag per load.
- Controls + form fields converted to Tailwind; textarea matches input
styling.
- Framed "Rendered output" card so the render prop is visually
unmistakable.

## AG-UI Event Inspector

### Runtime (`@copilotkit/runtime` + `@copilotkit/shared`)
- `DebugEventBus` — in-memory pub/sub on `BaseCopilotRuntime`, only
instantiated when `NODE_ENV != production`.
- Event tap in `createSseEventResponse` broadcasts every AG-UI event
with metadata (agentId, threadId, runId, timestamp).
- `GET /debug-events` SSE endpoint — returns 404 in production, streams
`DebugEventEnvelope` JSON to connected clients, initial `: connected`
comment flushes headers immediately.

### VSCode Extension
- `DebugStream` — Node SSE client with auto-reconnect, exponential
backoff, URL validation, error surfacing.
- `InspectorPanel` (editor panel, command `CopilotKit: Open AG-UI
Inspector`) and `InspectorViewProvider` (sidebar view) both use a shared
`DebugStream` instance — events persist when switching tabs.
- Inspector React app: `ConnectionBar`, `FilterBar`, `EventList`,
`EventDetail`.
- Color scheme: purple (lifecycle), red (errors), blue (text), orange
(tools), green (reasoning), teal (state), yellow (activity), gray
(unknown).

## A2UI Catalog → webview

- Replaces `ComponentPreviewProvider` (native TreeDataProvider) with
`CatalogListViewProvider` (WebviewViewProvider), matching the Hooks and
Inspector sidebars.
- New React webview with refresh header, component rows (name + relative
path + `auto` badge when no fixture), expandable fixtures list.
- Click a component row → preview (or toggle if it has fixtures); click
a fixture row → preview that fixture.
- Hover action buttons: `▷` preview + `</>` go-to-source on every row.
- "Go to source" opens the component file for component rows; for
fixture rows it opens the fixture file and jumps the cursor to the named
fixture key.

## Test coverage
- Runtime: DebugEventBus unit tests (8), handleDebugEvents endpoint (5),
fetch-router routes (4), integration across Express/Hono/Node/Fetch (9).
- Hooks: scanner + 16 fixture bundle-smoke test, regression guard
against `node_<builtin>` self-references, CSS collector test, stub-based
capture E2E, cross-kind controls remount, FormRenderer defensive
rendering.
- Inspector + webview: DebugStream reconnect (10), inspector components
(17), colors (9).
- Total: **178 tests** passing for the vscode-extension package; runtime
suite unchanged.

## Test plan

- [ ] `pnpm nx run copilotkit-vscode-extension:build` and `pnpm nx run
copilotkit-vscode-extension:test` both green
- [ ] F5 launches the Extension Dev Host with `test-workspace` open
- [ ] Hooks sidebar lists every fixture hook; click a row → preview
opens; `</>` button opens the source
- [ ] `▶️ Preview Component` CodeLens shows above every render hook in a
`.tsx` file; clicking it opens the preview
- [ ] Form controls drive the render live; cross-kind hook switches
(action ↔ custom-message) don't crash; a forced render-prop throw
recovers when a different hook is picked
- [ ] Imported-render fixtures (`ImportedAirQuality`,
`ImportedPollenReport`) bundle and preview correctly
- [ ] A2UI Catalog sidebar is the new webview, refresh works, `</>` on a
fixture opens the fixture file and reveals the named key
- [ ] AG-UI Inspector connects to `GET /debug-events`, filters + detail
work, events survive sidebar/panel switch, invalid URL shows red error

Vercel Deployment with Git LFS

Docs assets are tracked with Git LFS. To ensure production builds always receive real asset bytes (not pointer files), deploy docs through GitHub Actions using .github/workflows/deploy_docs_vercel.yml.

Required GitHub repository secrets:

  • VERCEL_TOKEN
  • VERCEL_ORG_ID
  • VERCEL_PROJECT_ID_DOCS

PR previews:

  • .github/workflows/deploy_docs_vercel_preview.yml deploys docs previews for non-fork pull requests.
  • The workflow posts/updates a sticky PR comment with a clickable Open Docs Preview link.

Recommended Vercel project setting:

  • Disable automatic Git-based deployments for the docs project and let the GitHub Actions workflow handle production deploys.
