For detailed command documentation, see Commands Documentation.

The simulator is not part of npm run build — npm run release builds it automatically, or you can build it directly:

# Build the native simulator executable + runtime artifacts
npm run build:simulator

# Build only the native executable
npm run build:simulator:native

# Build only the runtime artifacts
npm run build:simulator:runtime

The public API lives in src/lib/simulator/simulator.ts (generated types in packages/cocos-cli-types/simulator.d.ts). See docs/en/simulator.md for an overview.

# Run all unit tests (core)
