Base install now only sets up lightweight zero-config channels (Web, YouTube,
GitHub, RSS, Exa, V2EX, Bilibili basic). Optional channels (Twitter, Weibo,
WeChat, Xiaoyuzhou, XiaoHongShu, Reddit, Bilibili full, Douyin, LinkedIn)
are installed on demand via --channels flag.
- Add --channels param to install subcommand
- Extract twitter/xhs/reddit/bili into independent install functions
- Remove heavy deps (weibo/xiaoyuzhou/wechat/twitter-cli/xhs-cli) from
default _install_system_deps() and _install_mcporter()
- Cookie import only triggers when cookie-needing channels are selected
- Doctor output: inactive optional channels summarized in one line
- install.md: two-step flow (basics → ask user which channels)

Reddit: Exa crawling had chronic CRAWL_LIVECRAWL_TIMEOUT issues.
rdt-cli (304 stars, public-clis) works without login — search, read
full posts, and comments all verified. Massive improvement.
Bilibili: add bili-cli (590 stars) as optional enhanced backend for
hot/rank/search/feed. yt-dlp remains for video metadata + subtitles.
Also fix UA string (was "agent-reach/1.0", now proper browser UA).
75 tests passing.

Reddit blocks nearly all non-browser access at IP level (including ISP proxies).
Switch Reddit channel to use Exa exclusively:
- Search: web_search_exa with includeDomains: ["reddit.com"]
- Read: crawling_exa for full post + comments
- check() now verifies Exa availability instead of probing Reddit API
- tier changed from 1 (needs config) to 0 (zero config)
- Removed reddit_proxy from config, CLI, and setup guide
- Updated all docs (README, README_en, install.md, SKILL.md, references)
- Fixed xreach→bird references in references/social.md
Fixes#218, Fixes#222, Fixes#221

- Replace xreach CLI with bird (@steipete/bird) as Twitter/X backend
- bird uses AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars (simpler than xreach's session.json)
- Accept both 'bird' and 'birdx' binary names
- Remove version detection logic (bird v0.8.0 is the baseline)
- Write credentials.env to ~/.config/bird/ for easy sourcing
- Keep xfetch session.json sync for backward compatibility
- Update SKILL.md commands: bird search/read/user-tweets/thread
- Update install/uninstall to use npm @steipete/bird
- All 52 tests pass
- Change fallback cookie path from relative 'cookies.json' to absolute
'/app/cookies.json' so docker cp works correctly when COOKIES_PATH env
var is not set in older container images
- Also fix except branch to use the same absolute fallback
- Auto-restart container after writing cookies so the upstream MCP
reloads them from disk without requiring manual intervention
Fixes#175
Upstream bzd6661/wechat-article-for-ai has a bug where Tag.new_tag
is None in BS4 4.12+. Our fork fixes this.

Config class writes YAML (config.yaml), but xiaoyuzhou.py, cli.py, and
transcribe.sh were hardcoded to read config.json (JSON format). Users who
configured groq-key via 'agent-reach configure' would not have their key
detected because the wrong file was being read.
Fixes#128 (related to config loading)
Co-authored-by: Panniantong <panniantong@users.noreply.github.com>
Fixes#128
Two bugs:
1. doctor warn message said 'agent-reach configure groq-api-key' but the
actual CLI arg is 'groq-key' (see cli.py:75 choices list and :993 handler).
Same typo existed in cli.py _install_xiaoyuzhou_deps() output.
2. check() had a logic flaw: the inner 'if not has_key' was nested inside
'if not os.environ.get(...)', so when GROQ_API_KEY env var was absent but
config.json read succeeded, the outer condition never triggered the warning.
Refactored to a flat has_key variable — cleaner and correct.
Verified: 36/36 tests pass, manual unit tests confirm warn uses 'groq-key'
and ok is returned when groq_api_key is present in config.json.

Both _install_weibo_deps() and _install_xiaoyuzhou_deps() use
shutil.which() but didn't import shutil, causing NameError during
agent-reach install.

- YouTube: warn when only Node.js is installed but yt-dlp config file
is missing (previously returned "ok" incorrectly)
- Douyin: use `mcporter list` instead of calling with a hardcoded
invalid share URL that always fails
- cli: replace bare `except:` with `except Exception:` in
`_detect_environment` to avoid catching KeyboardInterrupt/SystemExit
- cli: fix unclosed file handle for cloud VM detection
- config: use `os.open()` with 0o600 mode to eliminate permission
race window when saving credentials
Adds a proper way for AI agents to import XiaoHongShu cookies into
the xiaohongshu-mcp Docker container. Previously agents had no clear
command to use, leading to confusion loops (issue #108).
Supports two input formats:
- Cookie-Editor JSON export (array of cookie objects)
- Header String format (key1=val1; key2=val2; ...)
The command:
1. Parses and validates the cookie input
2. Finds the running xiaohongshu-mcp container
3. Reads COOKIES_PATH from container env
4. Writes cookies via docker cp
5. Verifies login status via mcporter
Also updates install.md with the new command.
Closes#108

The isatty() check skipped UTF-8 wrapping when agent-reach was called
as a subprocess by AI agents (non-TTY). On Windows with GBK encoding,
any remaining non-ASCII chars would crash with UnicodeEncodeError.
Now UTF-8 wrapping applies in all environments on Windows.

- Remove all decorative emoji (👁️🔍📦🍪💡🔧📥🧩🛡️📡💻🤖⭐🙏🆕ℹ️) from cli.py and doctor.py
- Replace ⚠️ with [!] and ❌ with [X] (ASCII-safe status markers)
- Replace ⬜ with -- (ASCII-safe)
- Keep ✅ only for final success confirmations
- Fixes Windows GBK encoding crash during 'agent-reach install' (issue #95)
Closes#95

* feat: auto-install WeChat article tools during agent-reach install
WeChat (微信公众号) deps are now auto-installed during 'agent-reach install':
- Python packages: camoufox[geoip], markdownify, beautifulsoup4, httpx, miku_ai
- Tool repo: wechat-article-for-ai cloned to ~/.agent-reach/tools/
No login or configuration needed — works out of the box like YouTube/RSS.
Updated README tables to reflect zero-config status.
Also covers safe mode and dry-run.
* feat: auto-install WeChat + add channel-setup reference to SKILL.md
1. WeChat auto-install during 'agent-reach install':
- pip install camoufox[geoip], markdownify, bs4, httpx, miku_ai
- clone wechat-article-for-ai to ~/.agent-reach/tools/
- covers safe mode and dry-run
- README tables: WeChat → zero-config
2. SKILL.md improvements:
- Added 'configure' triggers to description
- Added references/channel-setup.md with install steps for all
login-required platforms (Twitter, XHS, Douyin, LinkedIn, Boss)
- Principle: user only provides cookies, agent does everything else
* simplify: point to install.md URL instead of bundled reference
No need to maintain a separate channel-setup.md. Just tell agents
to fetch install.md when they need setup instructions.

Two subprocess.run(["npm", ...]) calls in undici installation were
using bare command name, which fails on Windows where npm is
installed as npm.cmd. Now resolves full path via shutil.which()
first, consistent with all other subprocess calls.

Problem: After installing Agent Reach, agents may clone repos, create
files, or write output into the workspace directory, gradually polluting
the user's project. Over time this degrades the agent experience.
Fix:
- SKILL.md: add Workspace Rules section — never create files in workspace
- install.md: add Directory Rules table, explicit boundary about workspace
- install.md: all git clone commands now target ~/.agent-reach/tools/
- update.md: add workspace warning
- cli.py: install creates ~/.agent-reach/tools/ directory
All agent-facing docs now enforce: /tmp for temp, ~/.agent-reach/ for
persistent data, workspace stays untouched.

- Replace text=True with encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' in all
subprocess.run calls (channels + cli.py) to fix GBK decode errors
on Chinese Windows systems
- Use shutil.which() resolved paths in channel subprocess calls to
handle Windows .cmd wrappers (npm global installs)

- Remove dead '# ── read ──' placeholder comment in cli.py
- Reword SKILL.md to make it explicit that agent-reach is an
installer/config tool, not a content fetcher
- Addresses confusion from issue #58

When running 'agent-reach configure twitter-cookies', credentials are now
automatically written to ~/.config/xfetch/session.json so that 'xreach auth
check' works without manual intervention.
Preserves existing session.json fields if the file already exists.
Falls back gracefully if the sync fails (still saves to agent-reach config).
Fixes#50
yt-dlp now requires an external JS runtime (deno or Node.js) for YouTube.
Since agent-reach already installs Node.js, we configure yt-dlp to use it:
1. cli.py: install writes '--js-runtimes node' to ~/.config/yt-dlp/config
2. youtube.py: doctor checks JS runtime availability and config
3. SKILL.md: updated YouTube section with accurate troubleshooting
Bilibili note: 412 errors are IP-based (needs proxy), not cookie-related.
Fixes#47
mcporter list probes all configured servers sequentially, which can hang
indefinitely when servers are slow/offline. mcporter config list reads
config without probing — sufficient for checking if a server is configured.
Affected: doctor checks (4 channels) and install command (2 calls).
Fixes#34
