SaaS banking demo: customer-ready on CopilotKit v2 (FOR-138) (CopilotKit#5180)

## Summary

Makes the `examples/showcases/banking/` SaaS demo customer-ready by
migrating it to **CopilotKit v2** and polishing it into a credible,
reliable reference. Closes the non-memory gaps from FOR-133's assessment
(FOR-138).

- **v2 migration**: v2 Hono runtime route (`BuiltInAgent` +
`createCopilotHonoHandler` + `InMemoryAgentRunner`), `CopilotKit`
provider + `CopilotPopup`, hooks moved to `@copilotkit/react-core/v2`
(`useAgentContext`, `useHumanInTheLoop`, `useComponent`, Zod params), on
`workspace:*` packages.
- **File-backed data store**: domain data in `src/data/seed.json` behind
a typed `src/lib/store.ts` (in-memory, resets to seed on restart). Clean
seam left for the memory track (FOR-137).
- **Credible identity + data**: Northwind Finance / Alex Morgan /
`@northwind.example`, refreshed transaction dates + future card
expiries, `Intl` currency formatting.
- **Dropped** the SQL page + fake-MSA RAG feature (and committed
ServiceNow secret) — focused fintech story.
- **Framework/build**: Next 16 async route `params`, Tailwind v4 (so the
v2 stylesheet imports normally), correct `next`/`react` versions, single
lockfile, accurate v2 README.
- **Tests**: LLM-free Playwright smoke test (also fails on
hydration/uncaught errors).

## Verified live (real OpenAI key)

Full golden path works end-to-end: chat renders → "show transactions for
card 4242" renders the generative-UI list → "add a card" → HITL approval
card → Approve → new card appears in the grid. 0 console errors. Build +
typecheck + smoke test green; no committed secrets.

Three v2 chat-rendering bugs were found and fixed by running it live:
use the full `CopilotKit` provider (not the low-level
`CopilotKitProvider`, which omits `ThreadsProvider`); set
`useSingleEndpoint={false}` to match the multi-endpoint route; and use
`useComponent` with a `deps` array for display-only generative UI
(avoids a stale-closure empty render).

## Non-goals (deliberately out of scope)

- Real auth.
- Conversation threads + long-term/self-learning memory → FOR-137.
- Deleting the duplicate `enterprise-brex` demo + repointing its deploy.

## Test plan

- [ ] `pnpm --filter demo-saas-copilot build` succeeds
- [ ] `pnpm --filter demo-saas-copilot exec tsc --noEmit` clean
- [ ] `pnpm --filter demo-saas-copilot test:e2e` passes
- [ ] With `OPENAI_API_KEY` set: run the golden path (transactions
gen-UI, add-card HITL → approve → grid update)

## Known minor follow-ups

- Removing deprecated `showDevConsole` surfaces the v2 Web Inspector /
announcement banner.
- Newly-added cards get a near-term generated expiry.

-# CopilotKit Demo App
+# Northwind Finance — CopilotKit v2 Banking Demo
 
-This demo application highlights the capabilities of CopilotKit by demonstrating how to build an app that emphasizes authorization, supports multiple operations, and incorporates generative UI elements. The banking application scenario serves as a practical example of these features in action.
+A customer-ready reference demo showing how to build a SaaS app with an embedded
+AI copilot on top of CopilotKit v2. The app — "Northwind Finance" — models a
+corporate banking dashboard where role-based users can view transactions,
+manage credit cards, and (for admins) manage team members. The copilot is
+wired into the same UI: it reads app context, calls typed tools to render
+generative UI, and asks the user to approve sensitive actions via
+human-in-the-loop.
 
-## Installation and running
-
-To get started, install the package and run the development server:
-
-```bash
-pnpm i
-```
-
-and then
+## Running locally
 
 ```bash
-pnpm dev
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key
+pnpm install   # from the repo root — this demo is a workspace package
+pnpm --filter demo-saas-copilot dev
 ```
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser to view the application.
+Then open <http://localhost:3000>.
 
-Please ensure to `export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key` to enable OpenAI functionality.
+The demo runs against the workspace versions of `@copilotkit/*` (see the root
+`pnpm-workspace.yaml`). The seed dataset lives in memory and resets every time
+the server restarts.
 
-## Key Features and Their Locations
+## Architecture at a glance
 
-### Authorization and Contextualization
-
-Authorization is key in this app, with users assigned to different departments and roles.

-Explore how user roles and departments impact the app's behavior. Navigate to the bottom left corner and switch between users. This is done through an app-wide context provided to the co-pilot.<br>
-Implemented in `copilot-context.tsx`, it's a wrapper component that includes `useCopilotReadable` and `useCopilotAction` hooks for anything app-wide.
+## Key features and where to find them
 
-### Multiple operations and information
+### App-wide context for the copilot
 
-The application offers various operations that can be performed through the co-pilot on different pages. Here are some examples:
+`src/components/copilot-context.tsx` shares the current user and the current
+page with the agent via `useAgentContext`, so the LLM can adapt its responses
+to the logged-in role and the route the user is on. The Northwind brand and
+assistant greeting are centralized in `src/lib/identity.ts`.
 
-- On the `/cards` page, you can request the co-pilot to change a credit card's PIN or add a new card. Note that adding a new card may have different outcomes depending on the user's role.
-- On the `/team` page, the co-pilot can assist with inviting a new member, editing a member's role or department, or removing a member.
+Switch between users from the bottom-left avatar in the sidebar to see how
+role (Admin vs Assistant) changes what the copilot will agree to do.
 
-### Generative UI
+### Generative UI — `showTransactions`
 
-The app demonstrates the power of Generative UI through two main examples in `cards/page.tsx`:
+The cards landing page at `src/app/page.tsx` registers
+`useFrontendTool({ name: "showTransactions", render })`. When you ask the
+copilot something like _"Show me transactions for my card ending 4242"_, the
+LLM calls the tool and the rendered list IS the answer — there is no
+follow-up paragraph restating the data.
 
-- Transaction Viewing:
-  - The `showTransactions` `useCopilotAction` exemplifies the ability to present information via a component, eliminating the need for additional text or LLM follow-up.
-  - Trigger this feature by requesting the co-pilot to display all transactions for a specific card, identified by its last 4 digits.
-- Transaction Approval:
-  - The `showAndApproveTransactions` `useCopilotAction` demonstrates the capacity to solicit user action, specifically the approval of transactions. This process is done one transaction at a time, ensuring all are resolved.
-  - Engage this feature by asking the co-pilot to display all transactions awaiting approval, such as "Show me all transactions pending my approval".
+### Human-in-the-loop — `addNewCard` and `navigateToPageAndPerform`
 
-### Handling Unavailable Actions
+- `useHumanInTheLoop({ name: "addNewCard", render })` in `src/app/page.tsx`
+  shows the "add card" confirmation card directly in chat; the user clicks
+  Approve / Cancel and the result is sent back to the agent. The team page
+  (`src/app/team/page.tsx`) uses the same pattern for removing a member and
+  changing a member's role or team (inviting a member is a UI-only dialog
+  flow, not an agent tool).
+- `useHumanInTheLoop({ name: "navigateToPageAndPerform" })` in
+  `src/components/copilot-context.tsx` is the cross-page fallback: if the user
+  asks for an operation that lives on another page (e.g. "change my Visa PIN"
+  from the team page), the copilot asks for permission to navigate, then
+  redirects with an `?operation=…` query param so the destination page can
+  open the right dialog.
 
-The app handles unsupported actions by redirecting users to the relevant page, optionally starting the task. Explore this on the main page:
+### Role-based behaviour
 
-- Ask the co-pilot to change a card's PIN (e.g., "Let's change the pin for my Visa"), and it will redirect you to the cards page with a change PIN popup.
-- Request assigning a policy to a card, and the co-pilot will acknowledge its inability to assist and offer guidance.
+Authorization is communicated to the agent through `useAgentContext` rather
+than enforced on the LLM by prompt alone. The REST handlers in
+`src/app/api/v1/*` enforce the same rules on the server side, so a curious
+user (or a hallucinating model) cannot bypass them.
 
-This feature is implemented in `copilot-context.tsx` as `navigateToPageAndPerform`.
+## Backend & data
 
-## SQL Query Generator
+- All read/write goes through `src/lib/store.ts`, which exposes typed helpers
+  — readers like `cards()`, `team()`, `policies()`, `transactions()` and
+  mutators like `findCard`, `updateCardPin`, `assignPolicyToCard`,
+  `updateTransaction` — over an in-memory copy of `src/data/seed.json`.
+- The REST endpoints under `src/app/api/v1/*` (cards, transactions, users,
+  policies) are thin handlers around the store and are what the UI uses.
+- There is no database. State resets on every server restart — this keeps the
+  demo deterministic for screenshots, e2e tests, and customer walkthroughs.
 
-The SQL query generator at `/sql` leverages co-pilot chat with Generative UI to convert user questions into SQL queries. Users can pose questions like "Show me all transactions for my visa ending with 4242" or "Let's find the pending transaction for the policy assigned to the card ending with 4242" and receive a corresponding SQL query. The query can be copied or executed directly (execution functionality is currently unavailable).
+## Tests
 
-## Backend and data
+End-to-end Playwright smoke tests live under `e2e/` and can be run with:
 
-The `/api/v1` path serves as the primary endpoint for API requests, handling various routes that interact with the application's data. Notably, the `data.ts` file contains hardcoded data that is utilized throughout the application.
+```bash
+pnpm --filter demo-saas-copilot test:e2e
