uip rpa-legacy find-activities

uip rpa-legacy find-activities searches the activities exposed by a project's dependencies. It returns each match's class name, display name, category, arguments, the XAML snippet to drop into a workflow, and the xmlns declaration. With --include-type-definitions, it also expands the argument types (enums, classes, interfaces).

Pair with type-definition to drill into a specific type, or find-package to discover packages that expose more activities.

Windows-only — see the overview warning.
