-- **Judge panel** — N attempts from different angles, scored by parallel judges; synthesize from the winner, graft the best of the rest.
-- **Loop-until-dry** — for unknown-size discovery, keep spawning finders until K consecutive rounds surface nothing new; dedup against everything SEEN, not just what was confirmed, or it never converges.
-- **Multi-modal sweep** — parallel finders each searching a different way (by-container, by-content, by-entity, by-time), each blind to the others.
-- **Completeness critic** — a final agent that asks "what's missing — modality not run, claim unverified, file unread?"; its answer is the next round.
-- **Budget/count loops** — Python: `while len(bugs) < 10:`; JavaScript: `while (bugs.length < 10) { … }`. In Python, gate an explicit budget with `budget.total` and `budget.remaining()`; in JavaScript, use `await budget.total()` and `await budget.remaining()`. `log()` each round.

+Host desktop control via JS: windows, screenshots, native input, OS accessibility (AX) trees.
 
 ## Scope
 
-`code` runs with top-level await in a persistent session — window handles, screenshot frames, and ax refs survive across calls. In scope: `desktop`, `wait(msOrFn, {timeout?, interval?})`, `assert(cond, msg?)`, plus `display`/`print`/`read`/`write`/`tool.*`.
+`code`: top-level await; persistent session; window handles, screenshot frames, AX refs survive calls. In scope: `desktop`, `wait(msOrFn, {timeout?, interval?})`, `assert(cond, msg?)`, `display`/`print`/`read`/`write`/`tool.*`.
 
-- `desktop.windows({app?, title?})` → `[{id, app, title, pid, x, y, width, height, focused}]`; `desktop.window(idOrFilter)` → Win (throws listing candidates when ambiguous); `desktop.focusedWindow()`, `desktop.displays()`, `desktop.capabilities()`.
-- Win: `.screenshot({silent?})`, `.click(x, y, {button?, count?, modifiers?, delivery?})`, `.doubleClick(x, y)`, `.move(x, y)`, `.drag([[x,y],…], {modifiers?, delivery?})`, `.scroll(x, y, {dx?, dy?, delivery?})`, `.type(text, {delivery?})`, `.press("cmd+shift+p", {delivery?})`, `.raise()`, `.ax({all?, maxDepth?})`, `.find({role?, title?, value?, limit?})` → all matches, `await .ref("e5")` → live element (throws StaleRef when expired).
-- `desktop.screenshot()/click()/…` — same input surface against the all-displays composite.
-- AX elements (from `.ax()` text `[ref=eN]`, `.find()`, `.ref()`, `desktop.elementAt(x,y)` (global desktop coords, same space as `.bounds()`; no screenshot needed), `desktop.focusedElement()`): `.role/.title/.ref`, `.value()`, `.setValue(v)`, `.bounds()`, `.attributes()`, `.actions()`, `.perform(name)`, `.press()`, `.click()`, `.focus()`, `.parent()`, `.children()`.
-- `desktop.clipboard.read()` / `.write(text)`.
+- `desktop.windows({app?, title?})` → `[{id, app, title, pid, x, y, width, height, focused}]`; `desktop.window(idOrFilter)` → Win; ambiguous → throws listing candidates. Also `desktop.focusedWindow()`, `desktop.displays()`, `desktop.capabilities()`.

+- `desktop.screenshot()/click()/…`: same input surface, all-displays composite.
+- AX elements: `.ax()` text `[ref=eN]`, `.find()`, `.ref()`, `desktop.elementAt(x,y)` (global desktop coords, `.bounds()` space; no screenshot), `desktop.focusedElement()`. Members: `.role/.title/.ref`, `.value()`, `.setValue(v)`, `.bounds()`, `.attributes()`, `.actions()`, `.perform(name)`, `.press()`, `.click()`, `.focus()`, `.parent()`, `.children()`.
+- Clipboard: `desktop.clipboard.read()` / `.write(text)`.
 
 ## Rules
 
-- PREFER ax over pixels: `win.ax()` → act via `el.press()`/`el.click()`/`el.setValue()`. Element actions need NO screenshot.
-- Pointer `x,y` are pixels in the MOST RECENT screenshot of the SAME target (window or desktop). No screenshot of that target yet → coordinate input throws. AX coordinates (`.bounds()`, `elementAt`) are global desktop coords — two spaces, both converted automatically; never mix them.
-- Each `.ax()` of a window starts a new ref generation; refs from the current and previous snapshot stay valid, older ones throw StaleRef — re-snapshot, don't guess.
-- Input defaults to `delivery: "background"` — delivered to the target window without touching the user's focus, pointer, or window order. On macOS, keyboard input to an app with multiple windows throws `BackgroundUnavailable` because the OS accepts only a process id and could send keys to a different window; retry with `delivery: "foreground"` (briefly activates the target, acts, restores focus) or act through AX instead. Targets whose input stack drops other background events also throw `BackgroundUnavailable` naming the window class and event kind. Never assume a background action landed because no error was displayed — errors are how this surface reports failure.
-- Wayland only: per-window native input and `raise()` are unavailable; use AX actions, or desktop input after focusing the target yourself.
-- `read_only: true` for pure inspection — input and mutation throw, approval is lighter.
-- Screenshots auto-display to you and save full-res to a temp path; pass `{silent: true}` in loops.
