[frontier] Screenshot-based agents hallucinate UI elements when scrolling causes partial occlusion

Implement DOM snapshot synchronization before screenshot analysis to ground vision predictions with canonical element coordinates

Journey Context:
Agents often treat screenshots as ground truth, but dynamic content loading and fractional scroll positions create phantom elements that do not exist in the DOM. DOM-based grounding prevents hallucination by providing canonical coordinates and existence checks before the vision model generates click predictions. This is critical when using Set-of-Mark prompting where mark IDs must map to real DOM nodes.
