Summary

Document how to use a global npm installation from Windows AI hosts that do
not inherit npm's user-level PATH.

Changes

  • Explain why lark-cli may work in PowerShell but remain unavailable in a
    sandboxed AI host.
  • Add a PowerShell fallback that resolves the npm global prefix and invokes
    lark-cli.cmd directly.
  • Keep the English and Chinese quick-start documentation aligned.

Test Plan

  • git diff --check
  • Verified both README files remain UTF-8 without BOM and have balanced
    Markdown code fences.
  • Verified npm prefix -g resolves the global npm directory and the
    resulting lark-cli.cmd launches successfully on Windows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The AI Agent quick-start documentation now places Windows guidance before configuration. It explains how to resolve and invoke lark-cli.cmd when a sandboxed AI host does not inherit npm's user-level global path.

Changes

Windows AI Agent documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows PATH troubleshooting guidance
README.md, README.zh.md
Adds PowerShell instructions to resolve npm's global prefix, invoke lark-cli.cmd config init --new, and reuse the resolved shim path for Steps 3 and 4 or restart the AI host.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ef80b

The Windows fallback can cause users to run configuration initialization twice unless the documentation clearly says it replaces Step 2. This is a bounded documentation usability risk that should be clarified before merge.

- Line 139: Move the Windows fallback before the first lark-cli invocation in
the quick-start instructions: update README.md lines 139-139 and README.zh.md
lines 138-138 so the fallback appears before Step 2, or use the resolved shim
path consistently for the Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4 commands in both files.

明确回退命令是第 2 步的替代命令。

当前回退命令出现在第 2 步之前,而第 2 步又显示相同的 lark-cli config init --new 命令。用户按顺序执行时可能会运行两次配置初始化。请将回退命令标记为第 2 步的 Windows 替代命令,或说明执行回退命令后跳过下面的第 2 步。
