Bug Description

Bug Description

send_message tool fails when sending messages to Weixin (WeChat) platform with the error:

Steps to Reproduce

This error occurs 100% of the time when attempting to send any message via Weixin.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure Weixin platform with valid user ID
2. Call send_message tool with target="weixin" or target="weixin:USER_ID"
3. Any message content triggers the same error

Example:

send_message(target="weixin", message="Test message")

### Expected Behavior

{"error": "Weixin send failed: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task"}

### Actual Behavior

{"error": "Weixin send failed: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task"}

### Affected Component

Additional Logs / Traceback (optional)

Root Cause Analysis (optional)

The error message Timeout context manager should be used inside a task suggests an async programming issue:

• The Weixin platform adapter likely uses async with timeout() or similar async context manager
• This is being called from a synchronous context instead of an async task
• The timeout management needs to be wrapped in asyncio.create_task() or called from an async function Likely location: gateway/platforms/weixin.py or the base platform class that handles message sending with timeout.

Additional Context

• Script execution works fine (daily_push.py generates content successfully)
• Cronjob runs on schedule
• Only the final send_message call fails
• This affects all Weixin messaging, not just cronjobs
• Bug persists after upgrading from v0.11.0 to v0.13.0
