A CopilotKit runtime does **not** use Intelligence because a key is present in
your environment. It uses Intelligence because you construct a
`CopilotKitIntelligence` client and pass it to the runtime. Without that
construction the runtime runs in SSE mode, threads live only in memory, and a
provisioned `INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` sits unread.
Connecting a runtime to Intelligence takes two things: construct a
`CopilotKitIntelligence` client with your project API key, and pass it to your
runtime as `intelligence`. The runtime reads the key from the client you pass,
not from the environment.
