Verifying Smiteless
Dev-run any window directly (imports resolve via the path inserts in each entry file):
cd C:\Users\bobby\smiteless
python ui\smitesettings.py # settings (single-instance mutex "Global\SmitelessSettings")
python ui\smiteprofile.py # profile/home
python smiteless_main.py <cmd> # overlay|widget|settings|profile|phase|login <name>|accounts|...
Health check: python tools\selftest.py (needs network + the League client for the LCU line).
AHK syntax check (must use PowerShell — Git Bash mangles the /switches into paths):
$ahk = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey64.exe"
Start-Process $ahk -ArgumentList '/ErrorStdOut','/Validate','<script>.ahk' -Wait -PassThru -NoNewWindow
# exit 0 = clean; the plain `& $ahk` form does not surface the exit code
GUI evidence: windows are Tk. Find by title (FindWindowW(None, "Smiteless Settings")),
scroll with WM_MOUSEWHEEL SendMessage, capture with PrintWindow(PW_RENDERFULLCONTENT) +
GetDIBits so it works while occluded. Never SetForegroundWindow / SetCursorPos clicks —
the user is often mid-game fullscreen. Synthetic WM_LBUTTONDOWN/UP PostMessage at client
coords works on Tk without stealing focus.
Frozen build: dist\build.ps1 → run build\pyi\SmitelessApp\SmitelessApp.exe <cmd> to
verify the shipped artifact. Full release: dist\make-release.ps1 -Version X.Y.Z
(+0.0.1 bumps, CHANGELOG entry first — it feeds the in-app Patch Notes).
Destructive paths: anything that kills the Riot/League clients (lolaccounts.switch)
or fires LCU POSTs mid-queue — don't drive live; test the engine functions and refusal
paths instead.
