Cause (Documented platform behavior): The registry fetches <runtimeUrl>/info and distinguishes transport failures from HTTP error statuses. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - The runtime is reachable but refused the request — check credentials and authorisation before addresses and ports. - Single endpoint transport requires a runtimeUrl Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/ff43d80fffcfbc656bc13aad619532b2650df2cc/packages/core/src/core/agent-registry.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Warn messages distinguish unreachable runtime vs refusal with status, emitted with RUNTIME_INFO_FETCH_FAILED. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/ff43d80fffcfbc656bc13aad619532b2650df2cc/packages/core/src/agent.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Single endpoint transport requires runtimeUrl. Search phrasings: copilotkit Runtime did not answer the identification request; copilotkit runtime appears to be unreachable /info; copilotkit reachable but refused the request Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
