Report #104196

[frontier] My vision-based agent keeps misclicking small or densely packed UI elements

Add a multi-turn visual refinement loop: first locate the target region, then crop and zoom into it for a high-resolution second look before issuing a click. For repetitive precision tasks, prefer Set-of-Mark annotations tied to DOM element IDs over raw pixel coordinates.

Journey Context:
Raw pixel coordinates from VLMs are unreliable on dense grids. Production browser agents have been observed failing for minutes on simple calendar interactions. Recent work on editing-level grounding in IDEs formalizes the precision gap and shows that iterative feedback—showing the model a marker of its previous miss—significantly improves localization accuracy. SoM overlays help but become unreadable on dense pages, so tie annotations to stable DOM references whenever possible.
