Mark 0c10d8c882 docs(pydantic-ai): remove duplicate quickstart, fix dead links and commands
Mechanical repairs found while auditing the pydantic-ai docs. Each was
verified against the tree; nothing here is a content rewrite.

- Delete `quickstart/pydantic-ai.mdx` + its `meta.json`. `seo-redirects.ts`
  already routes `/pydantic-ai/quickstart/pydantic-ai` ->
  `/pydantic-ai/quickstart` (rule F6), and adk got the same treatment (F7).
  pydantic-ai was the only framework still carrying a `quickstart/`
  subdirectory alongside the canonical `quickstart.mdx`.
- `human-in-the-loop/agent.mdx`: link to the canonical quickstart directly
  instead of the redirected legacy path, and point the starter link at
  `examples/integrations/pydantic-ai` — `examples/coagents-starter-pydantic-ai`
  does not exist.
- `docs-links.json`: `subagents.shell_docs_path` was `/multi-agent/subagents`,
  which has no page. The real page is `/multi-agent-flows`, which the
  entry's own `og_docs_url` already pointed at.
- `headless-simple/chat.tsx`: the console tag said `langgraph-python` inside
  the pydantic-ai package. This sits in an `@region` block, so it is pulled
  into docs as a snippet. 11 other integrations carry the same copy-paste;
  they are left for the fleet sweep.
- `examples/showcases/pydantic-ai-todos/README.md`: `uv run src/main.py` ->
  `uv run main.py` (there is no `src/main.py` in that tree), and the stated
  Python floor now matches `agent/pyproject.toml` (`>=3.13`).
- `examples/canvas/pydantic-ai/README.md`: Python 3.8+ was unrunnable —
  `agent/agent.py` uses PEP 604 unions. Aligned to the sibling tree that
  pins the same `pydantic-ai-slim==2.22.0`.

Shell Docs

showcase/shell-docs is the Next.js app that builds and serves docs.copilotkit.ai. Author CopilotKit product documentation here, not in the retired top-level docs/ app.

Run Locally

Shell-docs is a standalone npm-based app. You do not need a root install just to run the docs app locally.

cd showcase/scripts
npm install

cd ../shell-docs
npm install
npm run dev

The local dev server runs on port 3003.

http://localhost:3003

The shell-docs npm lifecycle generates registry, demo-content, setup-content, and search data before dev, build, and typecheck.

Validate Changes

Run these from showcase/shell-docs:

npm run build
npm run typecheck
npm run test

For repo-level CI parity, prefer Nx when a shell-docs target is available in the current checkout and root dependencies are installed. For normal shell-docs local development, the npm commands above are the canonical path.

Authoring Recipes

Showcase-Driven Framework Docs

Showcase-driven frameworks use docs_mode: generated. The docs are assembled from showcase registry/generated data, demos, source regions, shared/root MDX, snippets, and sparse framework overrides.

To update showcase-driven docs:

  1. Edit the showcase source of truth: manifests, demos, feature coverage, source regions, or registry inputs.
  2. Edit shared/root MDX only when the change applies across generated frameworks.
  3. Add sparse framework overrides only for real framework-specific differences.
  4. Do not hand-edit generated files under src/data/frameworks/.
  5. Validate routes, sidebar state, search results, snippets, and framework switching.

Authored Framework Docs

Authored frameworks use docs_mode: authored. The framework owns an MDX tree under src/content/docs/integrations/<docsFolder>/ with a meta.json sidebar.

To update authored docs:

  1. Check getDocsFolder() in src/lib/registry.ts; the URL slug and folder name may differ.
  2. Edit the MDX page under src/content/docs/integrations/<docsFolder>/.
  3. Update that folder's meta.json when adding, removing, or moving pages.
  4. Reuse shared snippets from src/content/snippets/ when content should stay consistent across frameworks.
  5. Validate the framework route, sidebar, search result, and any shared snippet render.

Reference Docs

Edit API reference pages under src/content/reference/.

The v2 reference does not use meta.json; navigation is generated by walking the tree and reading each page's title and description frontmatter. Only the legacy reference/v1/ tree uses meta.json.

Snippets

Reusable snippets live under src/content/snippets/. Snippets may be rendered by root docs, authored framework pages, and showcase-driven framework pages, so keep them general unless the path is intentionally framework-specific.

Frontend Applicability

Frontend routes use page-level applicability metadata, independent from where the content is authored. A page can be authored MDX, showcase-generated content, mirrored protocol docs, or reference content and still be universal across frontends.

Use the frontend field in page frontmatter or meta.json when a root doc should appear in non-React frontend docs:

  • universal — render the same page under /<frontend>/....
  • frontend-variant — render only when a matching page exists under src/content/docs/frontends/<frontend>/....
  • hide — omit the page from frontend-scoped docs.

Do not use "showcase-driven" as a proxy for frontend availability. Showcase derivation is an authoring/source detail; frontend applicability controls routing and sidebar inclusion.

AG-UI Mirrored Docs

AG-UI protocol docs are authored upstream in ag-ui-protocol/ag-ui. The src/content/ag-ui/ tree is a downstream mirror rendered on the CopilotKit docs host. Change AG-UI docs upstream first, then sync the mirror back into shell-docs.

The repository's top-level docs/ path is a symlink to showcase/shell-docs/ for contributor muscle memory. It is not a separate docs app. Do not recreate the old docs/content/docs/ tree; author CopilotKit docs in showcase/shell-docs/src/content/.
