Sorry that this sat without a review for so long. The fix is still needed, and the approach is right.
I checked it against a real Zod v4 (4.6.5) instead of the test double. zodToJsonSchema returns only {"$schema": ...} for a v4 z.object, with no properties and no error, as the test double claims. The same schema carries ~standard.jsonSchema, and schemaToJsonSchema gets the full properties and required from it. So the new path fixes the real case, and the test double is accurate.
Required:
- Rebase. The branch conflicts with main because
packages/a2ui-renderer/src/web-components/was removed in v1.75.1. Drop the change toweb-components/create-catalog.ts. Keep the rest.
Smaller items:
- The comment about
targetis only half true. Incatalog-schema.ts, the comment says that "the caller'stargetstill wins". That is true for the Zod v3 path only. For any Standard JSON Schema (Zod v4, Valibot, ArkType),schemaToJsonSchemainpackages/shared/src/standard-schema.ts:62always asks fordraft-07, soextractCatalogComponentSchemasgets draft-07 instead ofjsonSchema2019-09. I do not think that matters for the model. Please correct the comment so that it states which path honorstarget. The same applies to the Vue copy. - New dependency.
@copilotkit/a2ui-rendererdid not depend on@copilotkit/sharedbefore. That is fine, because both are published from this monorepo. Please mention it in the PR description so that it is visible at release time.
After you push, I will approve the fork CI runs.
@pranavsridhar6, a question for you as the reporter of #6526: on v1.75 or later, does the "Building interface" hang still happen? Does it happen with Zod v4 only, or with Zod v3 too?
…y emptying them
A2UI catalogs are built from schemas the application supplies, so the schema
library version is outside these packages' control: `@copilotkit/react-core`
accepts `zod >= 3.0.0` as a peer, while `a2ui-renderer` pins `zod ^3` for its own
built-in catalog. The catalog code converted those schemas with `zodToJsonSchema`,
which reads `_def.typeName` to recognise a schema. Zod v4 renamed that to
`_def.type`, so a v4 schema converts to a bare `{ $schema }` — no `properties`,
no `required`, and no error.
The result is that every prop is stripped from the catalog schema the model is
shown: it is told a component exists and takes nothing but `component`. It cannot
emit a component the renderer can paint, so the surface never resolves past its
"Building interface" skeleton and the run completes clean, with no error to point
at. Reported in CopilotKit#6526.
Route the conversion through `schemaToJsonSchema` from `@copilotkit/shared`, which
already backs `BuiltInAgent`'s tool conversion: it prefers Standard JSON Schema V1
(Zod v4, Valibot, ArkType), then a native `toJSONSchema()`, then the injected Zod
v3 converter, and throws rather than returning something empty when it recognises
nothing. Zod v3 releases before 3.24 predate Standard Schema and carry no
`~standard` marker for it to dispatch on, so those keep converting directly.
The Vue package carries its own copy of the catalog-context logic to avoid pulling
React in, and had the same defect; it gets the same treatment.
The tests use a schema shaped like Zod v4 rather than a second copy of Zod: an
aliased `zod@4` devDependency re-resolves the `zod` peer of unrelated packages
(openai, the @ag-ui/* family) across the whole monorepo.
…rget The comment claimed the caller's `target` always wins. That holds only for the Zod v3 path, where the caller's options are merged into the injected zodToJsonSchema call. For a Standard JSON Schema (Zod v4, Valibot, ArkType), schemaToJsonSchema converts the schema itself and always requests draft-07. Correct the comment, and add the same note to the Vue copy.

Reject schemas that the Zod v3 fallback cannot convert. Both converters dispatch unsupported inputs to zodToJsonSchema. Zod v4.0–4.1 lacks the Standard JSON Schema support added in v4.2.0, so its ~standard schema reaches that fallback and can again produce a bare schema without an error. An unrecognized schema without ~standard reaches the direct fallback. (github.com)

Keep referenced definitions in the inline catalog. Both extraction paths copy converted properties and required but discard $defs. A valid property reference to #/$defs/... then has no definition in the emitted catalog. Zod can generate references for cycles. (zod.dev)

Fixes #6526.
The problem
A2UI catalogs are built from schemas the application supplies, so the schema library version is outside these packages' control:
@copilotkit/react-coreacceptszod >= 3.0.0as a peer, whilea2ui-rendererpinszod ^3for its own built-in catalog. The catalog code converted those schemas withzodToJsonSchema, which reads_def.typeNameto recognise a schema. Zod v4 renamed that to_def.type, so a v4 schema converts to a bare{ $schema }— noproperties, norequired, and no error:propertiessent to the modelrequiredcomponent,filingId,status,riskcomponentonly["component"]So the model is told the component exists and takes no props at all. It cannot emit a component the renderer can paint, the surface never resolves past its "Building interface" skeleton, and the run completes clean with nothing to point at. The reporter is on
zod@4.4.3.Four call sites are affected on current main: two in
react-renderer/catalog-utils.tsand two in the Vue package, which carries its own copy of the catalog-context logic to avoid pulling React in. (web-components/had two more, but that directory was removed in v1.75.1.)The fix
Route conversion through
schemaToJsonSchemafrom@copilotkit/shared— the dispatcher that already backsBuiltInAgent's tool conversion. It prefers Standard JSON Schema V1 (Zod v4, Valibot, ArkType), then a nativetoJSONSchema(), then the injected Zod v3 converter, and throws rather than returning something empty when it recognises nothing.Two deliberate details:
~standardmarker for the dispatcher to read, so those keep converting directly.targetincluded, are merged over the$refStrategy: "none"thatsharedinjects, so v3 output is unchanged from today. A Standard JSON Schema (Zod v4, Valibot, ArkType) is converted byschemaToJsonSchemaitself, which always asks fordraft-07, soextractCatalogComponentSchemasgets draft-07 for those instead ofjsonSchema2019-09.Vue gets a small local mirror rather than a dependency on
a2ui-renderer, for the same reason the schema-context constant is already duplicated there — importing it would pull React into the Vue package. Happy to restructure if you'd rather share it another way.New dependency
@copilotkit/a2ui-renderernow depends on@copilotkit/shared(workspace:*). It didn't before. Both are published from this monorepo, so nothing new comes from outside, but it'll show up in the release.Tests
Both packages get a regression test. Reverting just the source and re-running fails exactly one case in each, with the reported symptom:
The tests use a schema shaped like Zod v4 rather than a second copy of Zod. I first tried an aliased
zod@4devDependency and backed it out: it re-resolved thezodpeer of unrelated packages (openai, the@ag-ui/*family) from 3.25.76 to 4.4.3 across 51 lockfile entries. The fixture is faithful in the two respects the conversion depends on —_def.typeinstead of_def.typeName, and Standard JSON Schema V1 — and reproduces the identical silent{ $schema }result. The only lockfile change is the new@copilotkit/sharedworkspace link fora2ui-renderer(3 lines).Verification
Re-run after rebasing onto current main:
a2ui-renderer: 26/26 tests,check-typesandbuildpass.vue: 1182/1182 tests,check-typespasses.pnpm install --frozen-lockfileis clean.oxlintreports 0 warnings and 0 errors on the changed files, andoxfmt --checkis clean..changeset/file, per CONTRIBUTING.One thing I could not explain
The reporter says requesting generic
Card/Row/Textalso failed. Those come from the built-in catalog, built with this package's own Zod 3, so they convert correctly either way — this fix does not account for that leg, and I'd rather flag it than overclaim. It may be that the agentinstructionskept steering the model toFilingCard, or that one invalid component fails the whole surface paint, but I haven't verified either.Related: I could not reproduce the end-to-end flow (it needs a live model), so the chain from "empty prop schema" to "skeleton never paints" is read from the code rather than observed. The schema corruption itself is directly demonstrated by the tests.
Worth noting for triage: the
BuiltInAgent-specific theory in the issue thread looks like a dead end.AbstractAgentprovidesuse(), the in-memory runner goes throughagent.runAgent()where the middleware chain is folded in, andBuiltInAgent.run()reads bothinput.toolsandinput.context— so the A2UI middleware does attach and the injectedrender_a2uitool does reach the model. Also, since the "Building interface" skeleton is only rendered from ana2ui-surfaceactivity, at least oneACTIVITY_SNAPSHOTmust have arrived, contrary to the report.Summary by CodeRabbit
