feat(im): support stdin/file input for +messages-send --text/--markdown/--content

[liuhedev]

Summary

Enable --content, --text, and --markdown on im +messages-send to read their values from stdin via - or from a file via @path. This reuses the existing Flag.Input resolution mechanism already used by docs +create, minutes +summary, and other shortcuts.

Why

Before this change, a user piping content via the commonly-expected stdin pattern:

cat msg.md | lark-cli im +messages-send --chat-id oc_xxx --markdown -

would silently send the literal character - as the message body (rendered as a bullet/dot in Feishu Markdown). The flag had no stdin resolution declared, so - was passed through verbatim.

There is no way to opt out of this behavior on the caller side without knowing the implementation detail — most CLIs treat - as stdin by convention, and several other lark-cli shortcuts already support it.

What changed

• shortcuts/im/im_messages_send.go: added Input: []string{common.File, common.Stdin} to the --content, --text, and --markdown flag definitions, plus a short note in each Desc string.
• affordance/im.md: added a tip for +messages-send suggesting - / @path for multiline or long content.
• shortcuts/im/im_messages_send_input_test.go: regression test pinning that the three content flags declare both File and Stdin input sources.

Verification

• go vet ./shortcuts/im/ ./shortcuts/common/ — clean
• go test ./shortcuts/im/ -count=1 — pass
• go test ./shortcuts/common/ -run TestResolveInputFlags -count=1 — all 14 cases pass

The actual stdin/file resolution logic is owned by shortcuts/common (see runner_input_test.go) and is already fully tested there; this change only opts the three im content flags into the existing mechanism.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for providing message content through standard input or a file using - and @path.
  • Updated content, text, and markdown options with guidance for multiline, long, Markdown, and JSON input.

• Documentation

  • Added recommendations to use stdin or file-based input to avoid shell-escaping issues.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The +messages-send command now documents stdin and file input for --content, --text, and --markdown. Tests verify these flags declare both input sources. The IM guidance includes the same recommendation for long or multiline values.

Changes

Message input sources

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Message input flags and validation shortcuts/im/im_messages_send.go, shortcuts/im/im_messages_send_input_test.go, affordance/im.md	Flag descriptions document stdin and @path file input. Tests verify the three flags support both common.File and common.Stdin. Guidance recommends these inputs for long or multiline content.
