Report #24536

[frontier] Agent clicks wrong monitor or scales coordinates incorrectly on high-DPI display

Always normalize coordinates to the primary display's scaled resolution \(CSS pixels, not physical pixels\). Query the display's devicePixelRatio and adjust all screenshot analyses by dividing coordinates by DPR before sending mouse events.

Journey Context:
Screenshots return raw pixel buffers \(physical pixels\), but OS mouse APIs expect scaled CSS pixels. On a Retina/4K display with DPR=2.0, a screenshot shows 3840x2160 pixels but the OS expects 1920x1080 coordinates. Agents that map CV-detected bounding boxes directly to mouse movements miss by 2x. Many frameworks forget to handle multi-monitor where \(0,0\) is ambiguous.
