description	Use when debugging or verifying WeChat Mini Program UI issues in this repo. Prioritize WeChat DevTools CLI plus miniprogram-automator background inspection of routes, WXML, element offset/size, computed styles, and console output; refresh phone preview with auto-preview after fixes.

WeChat Mini Program Automation

Use this workflow for WeChat Mini Program UI bugs, layout spacing issues, component preview defects, or any fix that needs runtime verification in mp-weixin.

Priority Workflow

1. Prefer background automation over foreground screenshots.
2. Resolve the WeChat DevTools CLI path without hardcoding one machine path. Prefer WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI when set, then search PATH and common installation roots:

$cli = $env:WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI
if (-not $cli) {
  $cli = (Get-Command cli.bat -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
    Where-Object { $_.Source -match '微信web开发者工具|wechatwebdevtools|Tencent' } |
    Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty Source)
}
if (-not $cli) {
  $roots = @(
    $env:ProgramFiles,
    ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)},
    $env:LOCALAPPDATA
  ) | Where-Object { $_ -and (Test-Path $_) }
  $cli = Get-ChildItem -Path $roots -Recurse -Filter cli.bat -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
    Where-Object { $_.FullName -match '微信web开发者工具|wechatwebdevtools|Tencent' } |
    Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName
}
if (-not $cli -and $IsMacOS) {
  $macCandidates = @(
    '/Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli',
    '/Applications/微信开发者工具.app/Contents/MacOS/cli'
  )
  $cli = $macCandidates | Where-Object { Test-Path $_ } | Select-Object -First 1
}
if (-not $cli) { throw 'WeChat DevTools CLI not found. Set WECHAT_DEVTOOLS_CLI to the DevTools CLI path.' }
& $cli auto --project D:/project/ui/dist/dev/mp-weixin --auto-port 9420 --trust-project

3. Connect with miniprogram-automator and inspect runtime state:
   • current route and query
   • WXML with outerWxml()
   • element offset() and size()
   • computed styles with style(name)
   • console output via the automator log channel when relevant
4. Fix based on measured runtime evidence. For spacing issues, prefer component-level fixes or explicit element classes over fragile > :not(:first-child) and custom-component sibling selectors.
5. Re-read the affected route and elements after the fix to confirm actual pixel gaps/styles.
6. Run automatic phone preview after a successful fix:

& $cli auto-preview --project D:/project/ui/dist/dev/mp-weixin --info-output D:/project/ui/preview-info.json

Connection Failure

If automation cannot connect to ws://127.0.0.1:9420, first try starting auto again with the CLI command above.

If it still cannot connect, tell the developer to open WeChat DevTools security settings and enable all required automation/CLI/service-port switches, then retry. Do not fall back to disruptive foreground window interaction unless the developer explicitly asks for it.
