Python: [AG-UI] Tool not executed after approval in Human-in-the-loop

We are building a web app using Microsoft Agent Framework AG-UI and CopilotKit.
We are trying out the Human-in-the-loop feature based on the samples below. However, after approving tool execution, it appears the tool is not actually executed.
We would appreciate any advice.

Expected and actual results after approval

Expected result:
"★★★ get_datetime called ★★★" is output to the log.
The current time should be displayed on the screen.

Actual result:
"★★★ get_datetime called ★★★" is not output to the log.
The message "Changes confirmed and applied successfully!" is displayed on the screen.
