## 🚀 Quick Start | 快速开始

### One-Click Headless Deployment | 一键部署

```powershell
# Run as Administrator | 以管理员身份运行
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\install_headless.ps1
```

This script:
1. ✅ Checks admin privileges
2. ✅ Verifies Python availability
3. ✅ Downloads & installs VirtualDrivers signed display driver
4. ✅ Validates the windeep project
5. ✅ Runs Python syntax checks on all modules
6. ✅ Checks route integrity
7. ✅ Verifies DXGI screenshot capability
8. ✅ Creates optional startup scheduled task

### Manual Setup | 手动安装

```bash
# 1. Install dependencies | 安装依赖
pip install comtypes Pillow mss playwright
python -m playwright install chromium

# 2. Verify virtual display | 验证虚拟显示器
python -c "import ctypes; u=ctypes.windll.user32; print(f'Screens: {u.GetSystemMetrics(80)}')"
# Expected: Screens: 2 (with virtual display) | 预期: 2屏(含虚拟显示器)

# 3. Test route integrity | 测试路由完整性
python computer_control_enhanced.py route-status
# Expected: integrity ✅ OK, locked routes ✅ none

# 4. Start MCP server | 启动MCP服务器
python winctl_mcp_server.py --port 59322

# 5. Register with Hermes | 注册到Hermes
hermes mcp add winctl --url http://127.0.0.1:59322
```

### CLI Usage | 命令行使用

```bash
# Route health | 路由健康检查
python computer_control_enhanced.py route-status --json

# Click with UIA COM (XAML-safe) | UIA COM点击(XAML安全)
python computer_control_enhanced.py click --pid 1234 --element 6

# Type text | 输入文本
python computer_control_enhanced.py type-text --pid 1234 "hello world"

# Screenshot | 截图
python computer_control_enhanced.py screenshot --pid 1234

# Cache info | 缓存信息
python computer_control_enhanced.py cache-info
```

### Python API

```python
from computer_control_enhanced import (
    capture, click, type_text, paste_text,
    type_keys, scroll, drag, list_apps,
    _check_routing_integrity, _get_route_status,
    _uia_com_invoke, _xaml_click,
)

# Check system health | 检查系统健康
assert _check_routing_integrity()["ok"]
status = _get_route_status()

# XAML-safe click via UIA COM | UIA COM点击(XAML安全)
result = _uia_com_invoke(
    pid=1234,
    element_name="文件(F)",   # File menu in Chinese Notepad
    hwnd=0x12345678
)

# SendInput real click | SendInput真实点击
from scripts.sendinput import send_click, send_type_text, send_hotkey
send_click(x=500, y=300)
send_type_text("Hello from Hermes!")
send_hotkey(['ctrl'], 's')

# Capture with occlusion support | 遮挡窗口截图
result = _capture_window_wgc(pid=1234, window_id=0x12345678)

# Async verification | 异步验证
_enqueue_verify(pid=1234, window_id=12345678, settle_ms=200)
# Returns immediately, verifier runs in background thread
```

## 📋 Requirements | 依赖

### Mandatory | 必须
- **OS**: Windows 10+ (x64)
- **Python**: 3.10+
- **comtypes**: `pip install comtypes` (for UIA COM)

### Recommended | 推荐

assert cce._check_routing_integrity()['ok']
# Energy | 能量
assert cce._get_route_status()['energy_ok']
# No locked routes | 无锁定
assert not cce._get_route_status()['locked_routes']
# UIA COM | UIA COM可用
assert hasattr(cce, '_uia_com_invoke')
