[synthesis] UI interactive element extraction fails from screenshots across providers

For UI-to-code or UI-interaction tasks, route to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. For OCR-heavy tasks on dense documents, route to Gemini 1.5 Pro or GPT-4o. Add a preprocessing step to upscale and enhance contrast of images before sending to any model.

Journey Context:
Vision capabilities are not uniform. GPT-4o is highly capable at reading text but sometimes hallucinates interactive UI elements \(buttons, inputs\) that aren't there. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is specifically fine-tuned for UI understanding and generating HTML/SVG from screenshots, making it superior for web automation agents. Gemini 1.5 Pro excels at dense text OCR but can be overly literal. Routing all vision tasks to a single model results in suboptimal performance; an agent orchestrator should route based on task type.
