Subject: [PATCH] fix: prevent CopilotListeners crash when no agents registered
 (#3249)

Replace useAgent() hook with copilotkit.getAgent() in CopilotListeners
to avoid throwing when the agents map is empty. This fixes crashes for
users who use CopilotKit without agents (e.g., only for context/tools).
