The ok/warn/off symbols had no explanation for non-technical users;
--json gives agents and scripts a machine-readable health check.

All three had rotted past honest usability:
- Douyin's upstream (yzfly/douyin-mcp-server) is archived and required a
4-step manual local-server setup nobody could complete
- Weibo depended on an unmaintained personal fork (mcp-server-weibo)
- WeChat full-article reading was increasingly blocked by anti-bot
(#339) while doctor still advertised it as zero-config
Removes the channel files, installers, skill routing/trigger entries,
reference sections and README rows (zh+en). Honest counts: 13 platforms,
6 zero-config. They can return when maintained upstreams exist.
Follows the v1.4.0 precedent of removing Discord/Toutiao (#234).

Extracted from #318 (the UTF-8/doctor core, minus the env-wrapper feature):
- new agent_reach/utils/process.py: utf8_subprocess_env() +
mcporter_utf8_env_args() — Windows GBK consoles otherwise corrupt
Chinese output from mcporter/MCP child processes
- weibo/douyin/linkedin checks and weibo install/registration now pass
the UTF-8 env (and register the MCP server with --env PYTHONUTF8=1)
- youtube: extract _has_js_runtime_config() with an OSError guard so an
unreadable yt-dlp config can't crash doctor
- test_skill_command: open SKILL.md with explicit utf-8 (Windows GBK
default broke these tests)

Adds agent_reach/transcribe.py (download → compress → chunk → transcribe with provider fallback, fully mocked tests). Maintainer follow-up on the branch: wired an agent-reach transcribe CLI subcommand + skill docs so agents can actually invoke it, added the missing configure openai-key branch the error hint referenced, removed two dead static methods. 103 tests pass; wheel-gate clean.
PyPI still only has rdt-cli 0.4.1 while the doctor hint required >=0.4.2, so the suggested install command always failed. Installs from the upstream GitHub repo pinned to the 0.4.2 commit instead, and syncs all four docs that still taught the PyPI path. Verified locally: clean-venv install from the pinned source yields rdt 0.4.2 and rdt status works. 86 tests pass. Fixes#294.
Adds a punctuation-aware Whisper prompt and an optional --polish step (free Llama 3.3 70B on Groq) for Chinese podcast transcripts. Maintainer follow-up on the branch: replaced ASCII quotes that bash swallowed inside the prompt (hexdump-verified), added the same prompt to the 429-retry call, and documented --polish as optional. bash -n passes.
Rewrites the skill description with platform aliases (zh+en) and action triggers so agents reliably auto-invoke the skill. Maintainer follow-up on the branch: removed nonexistent skill_view tool reference, dropped finance category (no references/finance.md), updated the EN-locale test assertion to the new description. YAML validated, 85 tests pass. Fixes#316.
Four small correctness fixes found while live-testing community PRs:
- SKILL.md taught agents 'twitter search --limit 10' but twitter-cli
v0.8.5 has no --limit (real flag is -n/--max) — every agent following
the skill got a usage error
- transcribe_xiaoyuzhou.sh audio regex only matched lowercase .m4a/.mp3;
current episodes serve uppercase .MP3 (verified on a live episode) —
add /i flag
- reddit.py declared tier=0 (zero-config) while its own docstring says
Reddit requires login since 2024 — set tier=1 to match reality (tier
is doctor display metadata only)
- docs/README_en.md referenced the retired 'bird' CLI name once

The English README was missing two things present in the Chinese README: the OpenClaw 'exec' permission prerequisite (without it the Agent silently can't run install commands) and the --safe install mode. Both refer to real, supported features (cli.py exposes --safe; install.md documents it). Also align the Chinese README's Python badge alt-text (3.8+ -> 3.10+) with requires-python and the badge image.

It's Claude Code's per-user permission allowlist — auto-modified on every
permission approval, so it kept dirtying the working tree and risked
leaking personal settings into the public repo. Local file is preserved.

Editable installs in CI never exercise wheel packaging, which let the
force-include duplication ship broken source installs while tests stayed
green (#308#315#328#332#334). This gate builds the real wheel, fails
on any duplicate archive entry, asserts SKILL.md/guides/scripts ship,
and smoke-installs into a clean venv.

Removes the [tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel.force-include] block that duplicated files already included via packages=["agent_reach"], which made modern hatchling fail source installs with 'ValueError: A second file is being added to the wheel archive at the same path'.
Verified before merge: wheel builds clean (48 entries, no duplicates), SKILL.md / guides / scripts all ship in site-packages, 85 tests pass on Python 3.11.
Fixes#334, fixes#332, fixes#328, fixes#315, fixes#308.
Reddit requires authentication since 2024 (all API requests return 403
without a valid session cookie). Updated all 4 language versions (zh, en,
ja, ko) to reflect this: platform tables, tool choice tables, architecture
diagrams, and FAQ sections.
Also fixed Chinese README architecture diagram: reddit.py backend corrected
from Exa to rdt-cli, wechat.py backend corrected from camoufox+miku to Exa.
Fixed Japanese README reddit.py swap suggestions (removed outdated PRAW/Pushshift).

CRITICAL FIX: update.md was telling agents to uninstall bird CLI,
which broke users who had working bird installations. Now:
- twitter.py: prefers twitter-cli, falls back to bird/birdx if installed
- update.md: removed "clean up deprecated tools" step entirely
- Added explicit rule: "Never uninstall any existing tools the user already has"
- Tests cover twitter-cli primary + bird fallback + preference order
78 tests passing.

Based on investigation of public-clis/twitter-cli 47 issues:
- search may 404 when Twitter changes GraphQL endpoints
- followers command has account ban risk on datacenter IPs
- Cookie auto-extraction fragile (macOS Keychain, Windows DPAPI)
- Recommend Cookie-Editor export + env vars over auto-extraction
- Ensure v0.8.5+ for Windows pipe fix

Based on upstream issue investigation:
- Reddit (rdt-cli): ensure v0.4.2+, note login-required features
- B站: 412 is overseas-IP + no-cookie, add bili-cli commands
- YouTube: --write-comments is best-effort, auto-subs may duplicate

Based on investigation of jackwener/xiaohongshu-cli issues:
- xsec_token: can't read by bare note_id, must search/feed first
- Rate limiting: high-freq requests trigger CAPTCHA
- v0.6.4: user/user-posts/favorites may return API error
- POST operations: may 406 due to signature issues in v0.6.x

- WebChannel.read(): reads any URL via Jina Reader (r.jina.ai), returns Markdown
- _install_skill(): add fallback from importlib.resources to Path(__file__) for editable installs
- Explicit UTF-8 encoding on all file read/write operations
Inspired by PR #215, implemented correctly (Jina instead of raw requests).

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.

Discord only returns server metadata (no messages without Bot Token),
not useful enough. Toutiao search was fragile (HTML scraping). Both
can be revisited when better upstream tools appear.
75 tests passing.

miku_ai (Sogou WeChat search) has been unmaintained for 20 months.
Exa can search AND read WeChat articles via mp.weixin.qq.com domain
filtering — verified: search returns articles, crawling returns full text.
Jina Reader fails on WeChat (CAPTCHA block).
- wechat.py: check() now detects Exa (primary) + Camoufox (optional)
- tier downgraded from 2 to 0 (Exa is zero-config)
- skill/references/web.md: updated WeChat commands to use Exa
- 104 tests passing

browser_cookie3 has been unmaintained for 15+ months and breaks with
newer browser versions. rookiepy (Rust-based, 345 stars, updated 2026-01)
is now the preferred cookie extraction backend.
- xueqiu.py: try rookiepy first, fallback to browser_cookie3
- cookie_extract.py: same priority order, compatible API wrapper
- Remove bird CLI credential sync (bird repo deleted)
- 104 tests passing

Zero-config channel (tier=0). Uses Discord Invite API to read public
server info (no auth), and Exa via mcporter for content search.
Tested: discord.gg/python returns 419K members, description, channel.

Zero-config channel (tier=0). Searches so.toutiao.com by scraping
embedded JSON from script tags. Fixes URL extraction order from PR #207
(article_url is the primary field, not display.info.url). Adds read()
via Jina Reader. 89 tests passing.

- Clarify that localhost:18060 root may return 404 (MCP is at /mcp)
- Recommend Cookie-Editor export over QR scan login
- Note that Docker container QR login is unreliable and cookies
don't auto-share to MCP service
Fixes#220
