is deprecated; rename it to .

Error message

${legacy} is deprecated; rename it to ${name}.

What it means

The WeChat bridge reads WEIXIN_* environment variables but also accepts legacy WEXIN_* (typo: missing 'TE') spellings as a fallback. When only the legacy variable is set, the bridge uses its value and prints this one-time deprecation warning per variable name; it is a warning, not a failure.

Solutions

1. Rename the variable: WEXIN_X -> WEIXIN_X in your .env, shell profile, or CI secret store
2. Grep your environment (env | grep WEXIN) for all legacy spellings and fix each
3. Restart the bridge after renaming so it picks up the new names and the warning stops

Example fix

# before (.env)
WEXIN_APPID=wx123
WEXIN_SECRET=abc

# after (.env)
WEIXIN_APPID=wx123
WEIXIN_SECRET=abc

for (const k of Object.keys(process.env)) {
  if (k.startsWith('WEXIN_')) console.warn(`${k} is deprecated; rename it to WEIXIN_${k.slice('WEXIN_'.length)}`);
}

When it happens

Trigger: weixinEnv(name) finds no WEIXIN_* variable but finds the corresponding WEXIN_* spelling in the environment; the warning is emitted once per legacy name via warnedEnvAliases.

Common situations: Environment files or CI secrets created with the old typo'd names; shell profiles exporting WEXIN_APPID etc. from an older release; copy-pasted deployment scripts predating the rename.
