-//
-// The brain path (cloud agent) is smart but seconds-slow; the reflex path (beep / OCR readout) is instant
-// but shallow. The MIDDLE path sends the changed crop to a LOCAL vision model and speaks a short Korean
-// description in ~1-2s — smarter than OCR, faster than the cloud. It is OPTIONAL and GPU-gated: it turns on
-// only when a trusted, low-latency local VLM endpoint is reachable; otherwise everything falls back to the
-// reflex/brain paths (A works with no GPU at all).
-//
-// Design constraints baked in (codex r1 + §24):
-//   - The GATE is a MEASURED latency SLA + endpoint TRUST, never "has a GPU". Capability is probed per
-//     session, never stored in synced config (machine-specific). Only the INTENT (endpoint set or not) is
-//     configuration — the endpoint/secret are machine-local env, never synced.
-//   - Trust tiers: a loopback endpoint (same machine) is default-allow; any non-loopback (LAN/VPN/remote)
-//     is strict and OFF unless the user explicitly opts in — a local process binding a port or a tunnel can
-//     masquerade, so cross-network needs a deliberate switch.
-//   - The probe sends ONLY a SYNTHETIC image (never a real screen crop) before the endpoint is trusted —
-//     a real crop must not leave the machine to "test" reachability (§24.6).
-//   - VLM output is UNTRUSTED screen-derived content: the prompt forbids following on-screen instructions,
-//     and the spoken result gets the "로컬 비전:" provenance prefix + shaping + the global speech budget
-//     (handled by speech-safety.mjs; this module only builds the request and parses the reply).
-//
-// Endpoint contract: any OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint with vision (llama.cpp `llama-server` with
-// --mmproj, llamafile, ollama, LM Studio, …). Default model = a small VLM like gemma-4-e2b-it.

+// @vortex-os/computer-use — local VLM "middle path" config + protocol helpers (design §22.3 / §23.2 / §24).
+//
+// The brain path (cloud agent) is smart but seconds-slow; the reflex path (beep / OCR readout) is instant
+// but shallow. The MIDDLE path sends the changed crop to a LOCAL vision model and speaks a short Korean
+// description in ~1-2s — smarter than OCR, faster than the cloud. It is OPTIONAL and GPU-gated: it turns on
+// only when a trusted, low-latency local VLM endpoint is reachable; otherwise everything falls back to the
+// reflex/brain paths (A works with no GPU at all).
+//
+// Design constraints baked in (codex r1 + §24):
+//   - The GATE is a MEASURED latency SLA + endpoint TRUST, never "has a GPU". Capability is probed per
+//     session, never stored in synced config (machine-specific). Only the INTENT (endpoint set or not) is
+//     configuration — the endpoint/secret are machine-local env, never synced.
+//   - Trust tiers: a loopback endpoint (same machine) is default-allow; any non-loopback (LAN/VPN/remote)
+//     is strict and OFF unless the user explicitly opts in — a local process binding a port or a tunnel can
+//     masquerade, so cross-network needs a deliberate switch.
+//   - The probe sends ONLY a SYNTHETIC image (never a real screen crop) before the endpoint is trusted —
+//     a real crop must not leave the machine to "test" reachability (§24.6).
+//   - VLM output is UNTRUSTED screen-derived content: the prompt forbids following on-screen instructions,
+//     and the spoken result gets the "로컬 비전:" provenance prefix + shaping + the global speech budget
+//     (handled by speech-safety.mjs; this module only builds the request and parses the reply).
+//
+// Endpoint contract: any OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint with vision (llama.cpp `llama-server` with
+// --mmproj, llamafile, ollama, LM Studio, …). Default model = a small VLM like gemma-4-e2b-it.
