This keeps the generated AI demo working with the current SDK and removes empty package-manager settings.

AI review notes:
A real React/npm scaffold against AI 1.0.1 exposed more compatibility errors than the original change covered. Thread IDs now live in the typed client options and reach the chat endpoint, media calls receive request-scoped IDs, and message types come from the hook’s readonly result. The image call supplies its complete typed options. The dependent Store event map uses the event suffix expected by its client, and the guitar link matches its generated route.
The new blocking e2e test generates and installs the AI app outside the monorepo, runs build and TypeScript checks, checks the missing-thread response and renders a mocked SSE reply. It waits for visible hydration before interacting and makes no live model requests. The normal pre-commit build, unit and eight blocking e2e gates passed.
The changed AI and Store asset files grow by 261 uncompressed bytes across the changed files. No dependency, size budget or performance threshold changed. Other provider adapters were type-checked through the generated app but were not contacted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • AI demo requests now use distinct thread IDs across chat, image generation, transcription, and speech generation.
    • The chat demo now identifies its conversation as “guitar recommendations.”
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved chat request validation with a clear error for missing or blank thread IDs.
    • Fixed Store devtools state updates and corrected the guitar detail page’s return link.
  • Updates
    • The AI image demo is now available at /demo/ai-image instead of /demo/ai/image.

The AI add-on's chat hook called useChat without the required threadId,
so the generated sample needed manual fixing before it would run. Pass a
stable threadId to useChat.

Both base templates carried an empty "pnpm": {}, which made every
generated project emit a useless empty pnpm field (mergePackageJSON keys
off a truthy pnpm). Remove it from the React and Solid bases; add-ons
that contribute pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies still merge correctly.

Walkthrough

The generated AI demos now use thread IDs for chat and media requests. The chat route validates its thread ID, and an end-to-end test checks chat behavior. The change also updates demo paths, Store devtools event typing, React and Solid base manifests, and a changeset.

Changes: Generated template updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
AI chat thread handling and smoke test
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/lib/demo-ai-hook.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/routes/demo/api.ai.chat.ts, packages/cli/tests-e2e/ai-smoke.spec.ts
The chat hook supplies the guitar-recommendations thread ID. The chat route rejects missing or blank thread IDs and passes valid IDs to chat. The end-to-end test checks an invalid request and a mocked assistant reply.
AI media routes and demo navigation
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/routes/demo/api.ai.image.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/routes/demo/api.ai.transcription.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/routes/demo/api.ai.tts.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/routes/demo/ai-image.tsx, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/ai/assets/src/routes/demo/guitars/$guitarId.tsx
Image, transcription, and speech generation calls now receive thread IDs. The image demo route and guitar back link use updated paths.
Store devtools and package metadata
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/store/assets/src/lib/demo-store-devtools.tsx, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/project/base/package.json, packages/create/src/frameworks/solid/project/base/package.json, .changeset/ai-threadid-and-empty-pnpm-key.md
The Store devtools event payload type now uses state. The React and Solid base manifests remove empty pnpm configuration. The changeset records the updates.

Add a server-side forwarding assertion for threadId.

The valid request is intercepted before the generated chat route runs. The test therefore cannot detect a regression in the route’s chat({ ..., threadId }) call. Mock the SDK chat call for one valid request and assert that it receives guitar-recommendations.
