4 years ago, we are mainly using Web protocol for WeChat, so we made the wechaty-puppet-puppeteer our default Wechaty puppet, which is great, and it also does not need to apply from anyone for using.

But today, we are mainly using non-Web protocols, and the Wechaty Puppet Service is more popular.

So we decided to change the default puppet from puppeteer to service, from Wechaty v0.57.

After v0.57, we can only provide a token environment variable to Wechaty, and then everything will be set.

$ WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVICE_TOKEN="XXX"
$ node bot.js
