目标用户：Shopify 独立应用开发者和小团队，尤其是涉及主题修改、SEO、多域名/多品牌功能的开发者。

变现：按月订阅的 Shopify App Review 预检服务：自动跑主题兼容矩阵、安装流程和审核规则检查，按报告/次数收费。

MVP：2 周内做一个 CLI/浏览器脚本：对 Dawn、Horizon 等 5-10 个主题自动安装应用，扫描 canonical、robots.txt、sitemap 位置与主题文件写入风险，生成审核前风险报告；先人工代测+自动化报告验证需求。

竞品：Shopify CLI/Theme Check、Shopify App Review 官方指南、BrowserStack 等跨环境测试工具
