Testing

# Unit tests (default CI path)
uv run --with pytest pytest -q -m "not e2e"

# Live E2E against real WeChat articles
WECHAT_E2E_URLS="https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Y7dyRC7CJ09miHWU6LBzBA,https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxxxxx" \
  uv run --with pytest pytest -q -m e2e -s

e2e tests require network and browser runtime, so they run via manual GitHub Actions workflow .github/workflows/e2e.yml.
