Research direction
Start in apps/app/src/components/explainer-cards.tsx:108-118 and inspect how ExplainerCardsPortal traverses welcomeScreen and mainContent. Check whether the expected role or testid and a CopilotKit-provided extension point are available before choosing the safer integration. Done means structural changes no longer cause cards to disappear or render in the wrong location.

Description
Description
Severity: P2 — Fragility
ExplainerCardsPortal in apps/app/src/components/explainer-cards.tsx:108-118 reaches into CopilotKit's internal DOM via welcomeScreen.children[0] and .lastElementChild. There are no guards for structural changes.
Failure mode
Cards silently disappear or render in the wrong location after a CopilotKit upgrade.
Suggested fix
- Add defensive checks: verify
mainContenthas the expected role/testid before inserting - Consider a comment with the CopilotKit version this was tested against
- Alternatively, use a CopilotKit-provided extension point if one exists
