    #MoUI CLI

    moui creates and operates independent MoUI projects. Desktop and web targets build and run directly from the project directory; mobile targets use the matching wzzc-dev/window host template and *_window_hosted entrypoint, so the CLI does not create a separate mobile runtime layer.

    #Commands

    CommandPurpose
    moui new <target>Create an independent project.
    moui add platform <platform>Add a desktop, web, or mobile platform.
    moui doctorCheck selected platform toolchains.
    moui package [platform] [app]Package a desktop/web app as a distributable (macOS .app, Windows portable folder, web bundle); without positional arguments, print the release-planning inventory.
    moui dev [package]Build, watch, restart, and serve a project during development.
    moui build <platform> <app>Build an artifact for any platform: desktop/web build the entrypoint package in place; Android / iOS / HarmonyOS produce APK / .app / .hap.
    moui run <platform> <app>Run an app: desktop builds and launches in place, web serves through the dev runner, mobile builds, installs, and launches on a device or emulator.
    moui devicesList connected mobile devices, emulators, and the desktop host.
    moui verify <platform> <app>Verify generated embedded-runtime evidence.
    moui config <action>Read or update CLI configuration.

    Use moui --help or moui <command> --help for current options.

    #Run Desktop And Web

    moui run macos .    # build + launch the native executable
moui run windows .  # MSVC environment is configured automatically
moui run linux .
moui run web .      # serve through the dev runner (refresh + error overlay)

    Package distributables:

    moui package macos .     # dist/macos/<Name>.app
moui package windows .   # dist/windows-msvc/<Name>/ with exe + run.cmd
moui package web .       # static web bundle (gzip/brotli + bundle-size.json)

    Linux run/build work directly (moui run linux .); Linux bundle packaging is not implemented yet. Windows builds resolve the MSVC toolchain through vswhere and vcvarsall in-process, so sourcing scripts/windows/msvc_env.ps1 first is no longer required (a preset CC environment is respected).

    #Develop With A Watch Loop

    From a generated project, run a one-shot build with moui dev --once. Without --once, native packages are rebuilt and restarted after source changes. Web packages use --web (or infer it from web_wasm) and serve the project at http://127.0.0.1:3000/; successful rebuilds refresh the page and failed builds appear in the injected error overlay while the watcher keeps running. Use --interval-ms, --port, and --state PATH to tune the loop.

    The --state path is passed to the app as MOUI_DEV_STATE_FILE for optional file-based model handoff during a restart. V1 restarts processes and does not preserve in-process runtime state.

    #Create A Project

    moon install wzzc-dev/moui_cli/cmd/moui
moui new my_app --platform android --bundle-id dev.example.myapp
cd my_app
moon update
moon check

    Mobile project generation creates moui.mobile.json and an android_window_hosted, ios_window_hosted, or harmonyos_window_hosted package. Application code remains in app/.

    #Build Mobile Targets

    moui.mobile.json holds the application id, display name, shared app package, and platform-specific identifiers. Build from the application workspace:

    moui build android my_app --mobile-config "$PWD/moui.mobile.json"
moui build ios my_app --mobile-config "$PWD/moui.mobile.json"
moui build harmonyos my_app --mobile-config "$PWD/moui.mobile.json"

    Use --prepare-only to generate inputs without invoking Gradle, Xcode, or hvigor. --fallback-skia is packaging-only evidence and does not promote a runtime support claim.

    #Validate Hosts

    moui doctor --platform android
moui devices --platform android
moui run android my_app --mobile-config "$PWD/moui.mobile.json"

    The platform template owns lifecycle, surface creation, and input. MoUI's backend supplies the app runtime and renderer provider through the window event loop.
