Research direction

Start by tracing where the CopilotKit CLI writes the key and where the OpenBot API server reads it; the issue names the variables CPK_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY and INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY and the .env file. Check the startup configuration path and any related tests. Done when the CLI and server use a consistent key name and the API server starts without the key-location pause.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Found why the API server paused on startup: the CopilotKit CLI saved the key as CPK_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY, whereas OpenBot's server reads INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY. Copying it to INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY in .env
