+/**
+ * The decision loop: observe, decide, act, confirm.
+ *
+ * Every iteration re-observes rather than reusing the previous capture. That is
+ * not just freshness: the driver's action tools resolve a coordinate against the
+ * last capture the caller saw, and a new snapshot of a window invalidates the
+ * element tokens of the old one. Reusing a stale observation would therefore mean
+ * acting in a frame that no longer exists.
+ *
+ * The loop's contract, in order of what it must never do:
+ *
+ *  - It must not claim success the model did not observe. `done` is the model's
+ *    own claim about the screenshot it was shown, and the trace reports it as
+ *    such; this plugin has no independent way to verify a goal.
+ *  - It must not silently end on a mismatch. A decision that failed to execute,
+ *    or an action whose result does not match what was asked, is recorded and
+ *    re-decided — that is the whole reason the vision channel works at all, since
+ *    a vision model's coordinates are known to drift.
+ *  - It must not run without bound. Both caps still return a trace: a run that
+ *    hits one has not failed, it has run out of budget, and the caller needs the
+ *    trace to see where it got to.

+ *    point against the window frame in that space and refuses a point outside it.
+ *  - `screenshot_scale` is NOT a multiplier for those coordinates. It reports
+ *    the window's backing scale, and the driver already reverses it. Measured on
+ *    a 2x window: a click at the screenshot pixel of a button hit that button,
+ *    while the same point scaled by 2 landed off the window entirely.
+ *  - `max_dimension` downscales the PNG and the reported width/height with it,
+ *    and the action tools follow: a point computed from the downscaled PNG's
+ *    dimensions is the point that lands.
+ *

+ * The /api/dsh-desktop-agent route family: a loopback-only bridge that answers
+ * one question the browser half cannot answer for itself.
+ *
+ * The settings card must list only models that can actually see, and the fact it
+ * needs — `inputModalities` — is not on the wire the card can reach. The host's
+ * model catalog builder maps a fixed set of fields off the resolved model info and
+ * drops this one, so the card's own catalog call has nothing to read.
+ *
+ * The alternative would be a second, plugin-owned catalog endpoint carrying
+ * modality flags. This route instead answers from the SAME call the decision loop
+ * routes a run with (`ctx.llm.resolveModelInfo`), so the list the card shows and
+ * the channel a run picks can never disagree.
+ *
+ * It is read-only and carries no secret: the answer is a list of model ids the
+ * caller's own browser session could already enumerate.
