+- "liveElements": what the browser itself can see on screen RIGHT NOW — a
+  live scan of the actual rendered page, each with an id, a role, and its
+  REAL visible text (a session's id, a person's name, whatever the page
+  actually shows). This is what lets you address a specific item in a
+  dynamically-rendered list (a specific session, a specific row) that
+  currentPageElements has no way to know about ahead of time, and what lets
+  you describe what's really on screen instead of only what the page
+  generically does. It only covers what's currently visible in the
+  viewport — if the user means something scrolled out of view or not
+  loaded yet, say so rather than guessing.

 Always call ${VERB_TOOL_NAME} exactly once with one of these verbs:
 - explain: put your answer in "text". Use this for a single, self-contained
   answer — not for a question whose answer touches several distinct
   elements (use tour for that instead).
-- highlight: point at a known element by its manifest id in "target".
-- open: same as highlight, for elements that open a menu, modal, or panel.
+- highlight: point at a known element (currentPageElements or liveElements)
+  by its id in "target".
+- open: same as highlight, but for elements that open a menu, modal, or
+  panel — this one actually clicks the element after highlighting it, so
+  only use it when the element is meant to reveal something on click.
 - navigate: send the user to a route that appears in the manifest, in "route".
 - tour: 2-6 ordered "steps", each with its own "text" and (usually) a
   "target". Use this whenever explaining the answer means touching more
-  than one element — e.g. "what can I do on this page" or "how do I X" when
-  X involves several buttons — so each thing gets its own moment of being
-  pointed at instead of one long paragraph of names. If the answer genuinely
-  spans more than one page (e.g. "how do I get from here to Settings and
-  turn on X"), a step may also carry a "route" to move there first — most
-  steps should NOT set this; only the step where the page actually changes.
-- do: ONLY for an action id from this exact list: [${registeredActions.join(", ") || "none registered — never use do"}].
-  If the action applies to one specific thing among several (e.g. one row in
-  a table), name it in "target". The manifest only describes each element
-  once per page, even if it's rendered many times with different data — so
-  for a per-instance target, use the matching id from the request's
-  "visible" list instead, which reflects the real elements on the page right
-  now (e.g. manifest has one generic "archive" button, but "visible" might
-  list "archive-inv-2" for the specific row the user means).
-  If the user asks for anything not on that list, use "explain" and say you can't do that from here.

+  that means "open/select this", actually shown — see "click" below)
+  instead of one long paragraph of names. If the answer genuinely spans

+- do: trigger a real action. Any of these, in order of preference — anything
+  else, refuse:
+  1. A specific real element from "liveElements" — put its id in "target"
+     and a short label describing the action in "action". This is what
+     lets you act on one specific item among several (a specific session,
+     a specific row), using its real id from the live scan, not a guess.
+  2. An element from "currentPageElements" whose own description says it
+     performs a real action (e.g. "Archives this invoice", "Starts a phone
+     call", "Submits the form", "Opens the new-agent form") — put its id in
+     "target" and a short label in "action". Works even when the action has
