Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat: enhance error messages in wit-bindgen-rust macro

Add contextual error messages for common WIT parsing failures in the procedural
macro. When wit-bindgen fails to resolve directories or parse WIT files, the
macro now provides specific suggestions including deps.toml configuration
examples and debugging steps.

- Add enhance_error_message() function to transform generic parser errors
- Include actionable suggestions for missing dependencies
- Provide examples of proper deps.toml syntax
- Add debugging workflow guidance for WIT resolution failures

Also restructure root Cargo.toml from workspace format to standalone package
to support upcoming CLI enhancements.

+            3. Invalid WIT syntax in one of the .wit files\n\
+            \n\
+            To debug:\n\
+            1. Run `wit-bindgen validate <wit-path>` to check dependencies\n\
+            2. Check that all imported packages exist in deps/ or deps.toml\n\

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] feat: add validate, scaffold, and interactive CLI
 commands

Add three new subcommands to wit-bindgen CLI:

- validate: Parse and validate WIT packages with dependency checking
  Supports --recursive for deep dependency analysis and --show-tree
  for displaying world structure and interface relationships

- scaffold: Generate working Rust stub implementations from WIT definitions
  Integrates with WorldGenerator trait and Files infrastructure
  Supports --with-cargo for complete project scaffolding and proper
  type inference for function signatures

- interactive: Guided development workflow with real-time validation
  Provides step-by-step WIT development process with immediate feedback
  on syntax errors and dependency issues

All commands integrate with existing wit-bindgen-core infrastructure
and follow established patterns for world resolution and code generation.

+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Implement the functions** marked with `TODO` in `src/lib.rs`
+2. **Build the component**:
+   ```bash
+   cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2
+   ```
+3. **Validate your implementation**:
+   ```bash
+   wit-bindgen validate wit/
+   ```
+
+## Development Tips
+
+- Use `show_module_paths: true` in the `wit_bindgen::generate!` macro to see generated module paths
+- Test your WIT files with `wit-bindgen validate` before implementing
+- Use `cargo expand` to see the generated bindings code
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `src/lib.rs` - Main component implementation
+- `wit/` - WIT interface definitions  
+- `Cargo.toml` - Rust project configuration
+
+## Building for Production
+
+```bash
+cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2 --release
+wasm-tools component new target/wasm32-wasip2/release/{}.wasm -o component.wasm
+```

From 81c9bfedea3e7952311b70be56ff737994470ce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Ralf Anton Beier <ralf_beier@me.com>
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2025 09:03:46 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 3/9] test: add comprehensive integration tests for new CLI
 commands

Add test suite covering validate, scaffold, and interactive commands:

- cli_tests.rs: Integration tests using Command::new() to test actual
  CLI behavior with temporary WIT packages and file system operations

- tests/cli/: Structured test cases with example WIT files for testing
  various scenarios including valid/invalid syntax, dependency resolution,
  and code generation

Tests verify correct exit codes, output formatting, file generation,
and error handling for edge cases. Follows existing test patterns
with tempfile usage and proper cleanup.

-## About
+## Development Tips
 
-[zulip]: https://bytecodealliance.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/327223-wit-bindgen
+- Use `show_module_paths: true` in the `wit_bindgen::generate!` macro to see generated module paths
+- Test your WIT files with `wit-bindgen validate` before implementing
+- Use `cargo expand` to see the generated bindings code
 
-This project is a suite of bindings generators for languages that are compiled
-to WebAssembly and use the [component model]. Bindings are described with
-[`*.wit` files][WIT] which specify imports, exports, and facilitate reuse
-between bindings definitions.
+## Project Structure
 
-[WIT]: https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/design/wit.html
-[component model]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model
+- `src/lib.rs` - Main component implementation
+- `wit/` - WIT interface definitions  
+- `Cargo.toml` - Rust project configuration
 
-The `wit-bindgen` repository is currently focused on **guest** programs which
-are those compiled to WebAssembly. Executing a component in a host is not
-managed in this repository, and some options of how to do so are [described
-below][hosts]. Languages developed in this repository are Rust, C, Java (TeaVM
-Java), Go (TinyGo), and C#. If you encounter any problems feel free to [open an
-issue](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wit-bindgen/issues/new) or chat with
-us on [Zulip][zulip].
+## Building for Production
 
-## [WIT] as an IDL
-
-The `wit-bindgen` project extensively uses [WIT] definitions to describe imports
-and exports. The items supported by [WIT] directly map to the component model
-which allows core WebAssembly binaries produced by native compilers to be
-transformed into a component. All imports into a WebAssembly binary and all
-exports must be described with [WIT]. An example file looks like:
-
-```wit
-package example:host;
-
-world host {
-  import print: func(msg: string);
-
-  export run: func();
-}
-```
-
-This describes a "world" which describes both imports and exports that the
-WebAssembly component will have available. In this case the host will provide a
-`print` function and the component itself will provide a `run` function.
-
-Functionality in [WIT] can also be organized into `interface`s:
-
-```wit
-package example:my-game;
-
-interface my-plugin-api {
-  record coord {
-    x: u32,
-    y: u32,
-  }
-
-  get-position: func() -> coord;
-  set-position: func(pos: coord);
-
-  record monster {
-    name: string,
-    hp: u32,
-    pos: coord,
-  }
-
-  monsters: func() -> list<monster>;
-}
-
-world my-game {
-  import print: func(msg: string);
-  import my-plugin-api;
-
-  export run: func();
-}
-```
-
-Here the `my-plugin-api` interface encapsulates a group of functions, types,
-etc. This can then be imported wholesale into the `my-game` world via the
-`my-plugin-api` namespace. The structure of a [WIT] document and world will affect the
-generated bindings per-language.
-
-For more information about WIT and its syntax see the [online documentation for
-WIT][WIT] as well as its [upstream
-reference](https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/blob/main/design/mvp/WIT.md).
-
-## Creating a Component
-
-The end-goal of `wit-bindgen` is to facilitate creation of a
-[component][component model]. Once a component is created it can then be handed
-off to any one of a number of [host runtimes][hosts] for execution. Creating a
-component is not supported natively by any language today, however, so
-`wit-bindgen` is only one of the pieces in the process of creating a component.
-The general outline for the build process of a component for a compiled language
-is:
-
-1. Using `wit-bindgen` source code for the language is generated representing
-   bindings to the specified APIs. This source code is then compiled by the
-   native compiler and used by user-written code as well.
-2. The native language toolchain is used to emit a core WebAssembly module. This
-   core wasm module is the "meat" of a component and contains all user-defined
-   code compiled to WebAssembly. The most common native target to use for
-   compilation today is the `wasm32-wasip1` target.
-3. The output core wasm module is transformed into a component using the
-   [`wasm-tools`] project, notably the `wasm-tools component new` subcommand.
-   This will ingest the native core wasm output and wrap the output into the
-   component model binary format.
-
-[`wasm-tools`]: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-tools
-
-The precise tooling and commands at each of these steps [differs language by
-language][guests], but this is the general idea. With a component in-hand the
-binary can then be handed off to [a host runtimes][hosts] for execution.
-
-### Creating components: WASI
-
-An important consideration when creating a component today is WASI. All current
-native toolchains for languages which have WASI support are using the
-`wasi_snapshot_preview1` version of WASI. This definition of WASI was made
-with historical `*.witx` files and is not compatible with the component model.
-There is, however, a means by which to still create components from modules
-that are using `wasi_snapshot_preview1` APIs.
-
-The `wasm-tools component new` subcommand takes an `--adapt` argument which acts
-as a way to polyfill non-component-model APIs, like `wasi_snapshot_preview1`,
-with component model APIs. The [Wasmtime] runtime publishes [adapter
-modules][preview1-build] with each release that are suitable to use with
-`--adapt` to implement `wasi_snapshot_preview1` in terms of WASI 0.2. On
-Wasmtime's releases page you'll see three modules to choose from:
-
-* [`wasi_snapshot_preview1.command.wasm`] - use this for CLI applications.
-* [`wasi_snapshot_preview1.reactor.wasm`] - use this for applications that don't
-  have a `main` function for example: for example a process that responds to an
-  event.
-* [`wasi_snapshot_preview1.proxy.wasm`] - use this for applications fed into
-  `wasmtime serve` for example.
-
-Only one adapter is necessary and be sure to look for the [latest
-versions][preview1-build] as well.
-

-
-## Supported Guest Languages
-
-[guests]: #supported-guest-languages
-
-The `wit-bindgen` project is primarily focused on **guest** languages which are
-those compiled to WebAssembly. Each language here already has native support for
-execution in WebAssembly at the core wasm layer (e.g. targets the current [core
-wasm specification](https://webassembly.github.io/spec/)). Brief instructions
-are listed here for each language of how to use it as well.
-
-Each project below will assume the following `*.wit` file in the root of your
-project.
-
-```wit
-// wit/host.wit
-package example:host;
-
-world host {
-  import print: func(msg: string);
-
-  export run: func();
-}
-```
-
-### Guest: Rust
-
-The Rust compiler since version 1.82 supports a native `wasm32-wasip2` target and can be added to
-any `rustup`-based toolchain with:
-
-```sh
-rustup target add wasm32-wasip2
-```
-
-In order to compile a wasi dynamic library, the following must be added to the
-`Cargo.toml` file:
-
-```toml
-[lib]
-crate-type = ["cdylib"]
-```
-
-Projects can then depend on `wit-bindgen` by executing:
-
-```sh
-cargo add wit-bindgen
-```
-
-WIT files are currently added to a `wit/` folder adjacent to your `Cargo.toml`
-file. Example code using this then looks like:
-
-```rust
-// src/lib.rs
-
-// Use a procedural macro to generate bindings for the world we specified in
-// `host.wit`
-wit_bindgen::generate!({
-    // the name of the world in the `*.wit` input file
-    world: "host",
-});
-
-// Define a custom type and implement the generated `Guest` trait for it which
-// represents implementing all the necessary exported interfaces for this
-// component.
-struct MyHost;
-
-impl Guest for MyHost {
-    fn run() {
-        print("Hello, world!");
-    }
-}
-
-// export! defines that the `MyHost` struct defined below is going to define
-// the exports of the `world`, namely the `run` function.
-export!(MyHost);
-```
-
-By using [`cargo expand`](https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-expand) or `cargo
-doc` you can also explore the generated code. If there's a bug in `wit-bindgen`
-and the generated bindings do not compile or if there's an error in the
-generated code (which is probably also a bug in `wit-bindgen`), you can use
-`WIT_BINDGEN_DEBUG=1` as an environment variable to help debug this.
-
-This project can then be built with:
-
-```sh
-cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2
-```
-
-This creates a `./target/wasm32-wasip2/debug/my-project.wasm` file which is suitable to execute in any
-component runtime. Using `wasm-tools` you can inspect the binary as well, for
-example inferring the WIT world that is the component:
-
-```sh
-wasm-tools component wit ./target/wasm32-wasip2/debug/my-project.wasm
-# world my-component {
-#  import print: func(msg: string)
-#  export run: func()
-# }
-```
-
-which in this case, as expected, is the same as the input world.
-
-### Guest: C/C++
-
-See the [`wit-bindgen` C and C++ Bindings Generator documentation](/crates/c/README.md) for details.
-
-C and C++ code can be compiled for the `wasm32-wasip1` target using the [WASI
-SDK] project. The releases on that repository have precompiled `clang` binaries
-which are pre-configured to compile for WebAssembly.
-
-[WASI SDK]: https://github.com/webassembly/wasi-sdk
-
-To start in C and C++ a `*.c` and `*.h` header file is generated for your
-project to use. These files are generated with the [`wit-bindgen` CLI
-command][cli-install] in this repository.
-
-```sh
-wit-bindgen c ./wit
-# Generating "host.c"
-# Generating "host.h"
-# Generating "host_component_type.o"
-```
-
-Some example code using this would then look like
-
-```c
-// my-component.c
-
-#include "host.h"
-
-void host_run() {
-    host_string_t my_string;
-    host_string_set(&my_string, "Hello, world!");
-
-    host_print(&my_string);
-}
-```
-
-This can then be compiled with `clang` from the [WASI SDK] and assembled into a
-component with:
-
-```sh
-clang host.c host_component_type.o my-component.c -o my-core.wasm -mexec-model=reactor
-wasm-tools component new ./my-core.wasm -o my-component.wasm
-```
-
-Like with Rust, you can then inspect the output binary:
-
-```sh
-wasm-tools component wit ./my-component.wasm
-```
-
-### Guest C#
-
-To generate the bindings:
-
-```
-wit-bindgen csharp -w command -r native-aot --generate-stub wit/
+```bash
+cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2 --release
+wasm-tools component new target/wasm32-wasip2/release/test_interactive.wasm -o component.wasm
 ```
-
-Now you create a c# project file:
-
-```
-dotnet new console -o MyApp
-cd MyApp
-dotnet new nugetconfig
-```
-
-In the `nuget.config` after `<clear />`make sure you have:
-
-```
-<add key="dotnet-experimental" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_packaging/dotnet-experimental/nuget/v3/index.json" />
-<add key="nuget" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
-```
-
-In the MyApp.csproj add the following to the property group:
-
-```
-<RuntimeIdentifier>wasi-wasm</RuntimeIdentifier>
-<UseAppHost>false</UseAppHost>
-<PublishTrimmed>true</PublishTrimmed>
-<InvariantGlobalization>true</InvariantGlobalization>
-<SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
-<AllowUnsafeBlocks>true</AllowUnsafeBlocks>
-<WASI_SDK_PATH>path/to/wasi-sdk</WASI_SDK_PATH>
-```
-
-Add the native-aot compiler (substitute `win-x64` for `linux-x64` on Linux):
-
-```
-dotnet add package Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler.LLVM --prerelease
-dotnet add package runtime.win-x64.Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler.LLVM --prerelease
-```
-
-Now you can build with:
-
-```
-dotnet publish
-```
-
-Checkout out [componentize-dotnet](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/componentize-dotnet) for a simplified experience.
-
-### Guest: Java
-
-This project historically had some support for
-[TeaVM-WASI](https://github.com/fermyon/teavm-wasi), but it was unmaintained for
-a long time and never was at feature parity with other generators, so it was
-removed. The last commit with support for TeaVM-WASI was
-https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wit-bindgen/commit/86e8ae2b8b97f11b73b273345b0e00340f017270.
-
-### Guest: TinyGo
-
-The **new** TinyGo WIT bindings generator is currently in development at the
-[go.bytecodealliance.org](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/go-modules) repository.
-
-To install the `wit-bindgen-go` CLI, run:
-
-```sh
-go install go.bytecodealliance.org/cmd/wit-bindgen-go@latest
-```
-> Note: it requires `wasm-tools` to be installed.
-
-Then, you can generate the bindings for your project:
-
-```sh
-wit-bindgen-go generate <path-to-wit-pkg>
-```
-
-### Guest: C++-17+
-
-The cpp crate contains code to generate C++ code which uses the std types 
-optional, string, string_view, vector, expected to represent generic
-WIT types.
-
-This relies on wasi-SDK for guest compilation.
-
-### Guest: MoonBit
-
-MoonBit can be compiled to WebAssembly using [its toolchain](https://moonbitlang.com/download):
-
-```sh
-moon build --target wasm # --debug to keep symbols
-```
-
-The generated core wasm will be found under `target/wasm/release/build/gen/gen.wasm` by default. Then you can use `wasm-tools` to componentize the module:
-
-```
-wasm-tools component embed wit target/wasm/release/build/gen/gen.wasm -o target/gen.wasm
-wasm-tools component new target/gen.wasm -o target/gen.component.wasm
-```
-
-You may use `--gen-dir` to specify which package should be responsible for the exportation. The default is `gen` as mentioned above.
-This can be useful having one project that exports multiple worlds.
-
-When using `wit-bindgen moonbit`, you may use `--derive-show` or `--derive-eq` to derive `Show` or `Eq` traits for all types.
-You may also use `--derive-error`, which will make types containing `Error` as error types in MoonBit.
-
-You will find the files to be modified with the name `**/stub.mbt`.
-To avoid touching the files during regeneration (including `moon.pkg.json` or `moon.mod.json`) you may use `--ignore-stub`.
-
-/!\ MoonBit is still evolving, so please check out the [Weekly Updates](https://www.moonbitlang.com/weekly-updates/) for any breaking changes or deprecations.
-
-### Guest: Other Languages
-
-Guest component support for JavaScript and Python is available in
-[componentize-js](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/ComponentizeJS) and
-[componentize-py](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/componentize-py), respectively.
-See also
-[The WebAssembly Component Model developer's guide](https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/language-support.html)
-for examples of how to build components using various languages.
-
-Other languages such as Ruby, etc, are hoped to be supported one day
-with `wit-bindgen` or with components in general. It's recommended to reach out
-on [zulip] if you're intersted in contributing a generator for one of these
-langauges. It's worth noting, however, that turning an interpreted language into
-a component is significantly different from how compiled languages currently
-work (e.g. Rust or C/C++). It's expected that the first interpreted language
-will require a lot of design work, but once that's implemented the others can
-ideally relatively quickly follow suit and stay within the confines of the
-first design.
-
-## CLI Installation
-
-[cli-install]: #cli-installation
-
-To install the CLI for this tool (which isn't the only way it can be used), run
-the following cargo command. This will let you generate the bindings for any
-supported language.
-
-```
-cargo install wit-bindgen-cli
-```
-
-This CLI **IS NOT** stable and may change, do not expect it to be or rely on it
-being stable. Please reach out to us on [zulip] if you'd like to depend on it,
-so we can figure out a better alternative for your use case.
-
-## Host Runtimes for Components
-
-[hosts]: #host-runtimes-for-components
-
-The `wit-bindgen` project is intended to facilitate in generating a component,
-but once a component is in your hands the next thing to do is to actually
-execute that somewhere. This is not under the purview of `wit-bindgen` itself
-but these are some resources and runtimes which can help you work with
-components:
-
-- Rust: the [`wasmtime` crate](https://docs.rs/wasmtime) is an implementation of
-  a native component runtime that can run any WIT `world`. It additionally comes
-  with a [`bindgen!`
-  macro](https://docs.rs/wasmtime/latest/wasmtime/component/macro.bindgen.html)
-  which acts similar to the `generate!` macro in this repository. This macro
-  takes a [WIT] package as input and generates `trait`-based bindings for the
-  runtime to implement and use.
-
-- JS: the [`jco`] project can be used to execute components in JS
-  either on the web or outside the browser in a runtime such as `node`. This
-  project generates a polyfill for a single concrete component to execute in a
-  JS environment by extracting the core WebAssembly modules that make up a
-  component and generating JS glue to interact between the host and these
-  modules.
-
-- Python: the [`wasmtime`](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py)
-  project [on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/wasmtime/) has a `bindgen` mode
-  that works similar to the JS integration. Given a concrete component this will
-  generate Python source code to interact with the component using an embedding
-  of Wasmtime for its core WebAssembly support.
-
-- Ruby: the [`wasmtime-rb`](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-rb)
-  project has initial support for components since
-  [v27](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-rb/releases/tag/v27.0.0).
-
-- Tooling: the [`wasm-tools`] project can be used to inspect and modify
-  low-level details of components. For example as previously mentioned you can
-  inspect the WIT-based interface of a component with `wasm-tools component
-wit`. You can link two components together with `wasm-tools compose` as well.
-
-[`jco`]: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/jco
-
-Note that the runtimes above are generally intended to work with arbitrary
-components, not necessarily only those created by `wit-bindgen`. This is also
-not necessarily an exhaustive listing of what can execute a component.
-
-## Building and Testing
-
-To build the cli:
-
-```
-cargo build
-```
-
-Learn more how to run the tests in the [testing document](tests/README.md).
-
-# Versioning and Releases
-
-This repository's crates and CLI are all currently versioned at `0.X.Y` where
-`Y` is frequently `0` and `X` increases most of the time with publishes. This
-means that changes are published as possibly-API-breaking changes as development
-continues here.
-
-Also, this repository does not currently have a strict release cadence. Releases
-are done on an as-needed basis. If you'd like a release done please feel free to
-reach out on [Zulip], file an issue, leave a comment on a PR, or otherwise
-contact a maintainer.
-
-[Zulip]: https://bytecodealliance.zulipchat.com/
-
-For maintainers, the release process looks like:
-
-* Go to [this link](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wit-bindgen/actions/workflows/release-process.yml)
-* Click on "Run workflow" in the UI.
-* Use the default `bump` argument and hit "Run workflow"
-* Wait for a PR to be created by CI. You can watch the "Actions" tab for if
-  things go wrong.
-* When the PR opens, close it then reopen it. Don't ask questions.
-* Review the PR, approve it, then queue it for merge.
-
-That should be it, but be sure to keep an eye on CI in case anything goes wrong.

+# test_component Component
+
+Generated scaffolding for WIT world `basic-test`.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Implement the functions** marked with `TODO` in `src/lib.rs`
+2. **Build the component**:
+   ```bash
+   cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2
+   ```
+3. **Validate your implementation**:
+   ```bash
+   wit-bindgen validate wit/
+   ```
+
+## Development Tips
+
+- Use `show_module_paths: true` in the `wit_bindgen::generate!` macro to see generated module paths
+- Test your WIT files with `wit-bindgen validate` before implementing
+- Use `cargo expand` to see the generated bindings code
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `src/lib.rs` - Main component implementation
+- `wit/` - WIT interface definitions  
+- `Cargo.toml` - Rust project configuration
+
+## Building for Production
+
+```bash
+cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2 --release
+wasm-tools component new target/wasm32-wasip2/release/test_component.wasm -o component.wasm
+```

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] refactor: consolidate dependency declarations in root
 Cargo.toml

Simplify dependency structure by inlining optional path dependencies
instead of using separate [dependencies.name] sections. This improves
readability and follows modern Cargo.toml conventions.

Changes:
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-rust dependency declaration
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-c dependency declaration
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-cpp dependency declaration
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-csharp dependency declaration
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-markdown dependency declaration
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-moonbit dependency declaration
- Consolidate wit-bindgen-test dependency declaration

This refactoring maintains the same functionality while making the
configuration more maintainable and easier to understand.

Subject: [PATCH 7/9] build: convert workspace dependencies to explicit
 versions

Replace workspace dependency inheritance with explicit version
declarations in guest-rust crates to improve build reproducibility
and reduce workspace coupling.

Changes:
- Set explicit version "0.43.0" for all crates
- Set explicit edition "2021"
- Set explicit repository URLs
- Set explicit license "Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception"
- Convert workspace path dependencies to relative paths
- Convert workspace version dependencies to explicit versions

This change improves build determinism and makes each crate's
dependencies more explicit and self-contained while maintaining
the same functionality.

Modified crates:
- crates/guest-rust/Cargo.toml
- crates/guest-rust/macro/Cargo.toml
- crates/guest-rust/rt/Cargo.toml

+
+This directory contains external WIT packages that your component depends on.
+wit-parser automatically discovers dependencies in this directory.
+
+## Structure
+
+Place dependencies as:
+- `package-name/` - Directory containing WIT package files
+- `package-name.wit` - Single WIT file packages
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Alphabetical Order**: wit-parser processes dependencies alphabetically by filename
+2. **No Configuration File**: Unlike other tools, wit-bindgen uses directory scanning, not configuration files
+3. **Automatic Discovery**: Just place packages here and they'll be found automatically
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+deps/
+├── http-types/           # Package directory
+│   ├── http.wit
+│   └── types.wit
+├── logging.wit           # Single file package
+└── wasi-http/           # Another package directory
+    └── proxy.wit
+```
+
+## Adding Dependencies
+
+Use `wit-bindgen deps --add namespace:name` to add dependencies automatically.

Subject: [PATCH 9/9] test: add comprehensive integration tests for CLI
 enhancements

Add test suites covering:
- Validate command with dependency resolution
- Scaffold command with safety checks and cargo project generation
- Interactive mode functionality
- Directory-based dependency management
- Enhanced error handling and AI documentation features
- Full end-to-end workflow validation

Move test artifacts to proper location:
- Relocate generated scaffold example from src/lib.rs to
  tests/generated-examples/scaffold-basic/src/lib.rs
- Organize test artifacts in structured test directory

Tests verify new CLI commands work correctly and provide expected
functionality for improved developer experience.

+# test_component Component
+
+Generated scaffolding for WIT world `basic-test`.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Implement the functions** marked with `TODO` in `src/lib.rs`
+2. **Build the component**:
+   ```bash
+   cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2
+   ```
+3. **Validate your implementation**:
+   ```bash
+   wit-bindgen validate wit/
+   ```
+
+## Development Tips
+
+- Use `show_module_paths: true` in the `wit_bindgen::generate!` macro to see generated module paths
+- Test your WIT files with `wit-bindgen validate` before implementing
+- Use `cargo expand` to see the generated bindings code
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `src/lib.rs` - Main component implementation
+- `wit/` - WIT interface definitions  
+- `Cargo.toml` - Rust project configuration
+
+## Building for Production
+
+```bash
+cargo build --target wasm32-wasip2 --release
+wasm-tools component new target/wasm32-wasip2/release/test_component.wasm -o component.wasm
+```
