+bracketed by \`你当前的行为\` dividers. So if the user closed a dialog you just opened, you see
+their \`T key:Escape → 弹窗关闭\` right after your \`S\` action — no need to query for it.

+**Beyond click/fill/press** — four more interactions for what those can't reach:

+curl '${base}/clipboard?mode=write&value=hi'           # seed the clipboard (mode=read reports it back)
+\`\`\`
+
+\`drag\` fires a real pointer sequence (down → stepped moves past dnd-kit's activation
+distance → up); if a dnd-kit reorder doesn't take, retry the same gesture via \`realclick\`
+(trusted events). \`drop\` delivers the drop event with the named files (synthetic Files have
+no byte content — fine for triggering handlers, not for real uploads). \`clipboard\` needs the
+tab focused (browser security) and says so plainly when it isn't, rather than hanging.
+
+A control tagged \`{needs-trusted?}\` in \`/screen\` or \`/dom\` opens a popup (\`aria-haspopup\`)
+that a synthetic click may not trigger — reach for \`realclick\` on it from the start instead
+of discovering it via a dead click. (Right-click-only menus carry no DOM marker, so they
+still surface only on a miss — use \`realclick\` with \`button=right\` there.)
+
+**Multiple tabs.** Every read/drive command takes \`?tab=<id>\` to address one specific tab —
+including a **background** one (you can drive the Chat tab while the user is looking at a
+different tab). Run \`${base}/tabs\` to see the live ids. With one tab open, omit \`?tab=\` and
+it just works. With several tabs open and no \`?tab=\`, the command returns \`409\` + the tab
+list (rather than randomly hitting one) — pick an id from it and retry with \`?tab=\`.
+
+**Multiple servers (federation).** When several dev servers run at once — a micro-frontend,
+separate front/back servers, or a teammate's machine — every command also takes
+\`?host=<host:port>\` to reach a *sibling* aipeek. The plugin you curl reverse-proxies the
+request to that peer (server-side, no browser): \`${base}/screen?host=localhost:5174\` reads
+the app on :5174; combine with \`?tab=\` to point at one tab over there
+(\`?host=192.168.1.9:5173&tab=t3\`). Omit \`?host=\` and it's the local server as always. There's
+no registry — you name the peer, so list its tabs with \`/tabs?host=<host:port>\` first.
+
+**Cross-tab timeline.** \`${base}/timeline\` interleaves the semantic actions of *every* tab
+in time order — each line \`<tab> [T|S] <action> → <ui change>\` (\`T\`=trusted human,
+\`S\`=synthetic aipeek). The per-action \`--- recent actions ---\` tail only shows the acting
+tab; \`/timeline\` is the group view, so an A/B comparison across two tabs (drive A, watch B
+react) is one read. \`?tab=<id>\` filters to one tab's history.

 each step settles before the next, stops on first failure:
