[frontier] Agents clicking on decorative icons mistaken for buttons

Use 'Interactability Classifier' - filter visual elements through fine-tuned small VLM \(e.g., Phi-3-Vision\) trained on Mind2Web to predict if element is actually clickable vs decorative

Journey Context:
Vision agents detect 'gear icon' and try to click, but it's static logo. DOM agents know interactability via tags but miss visual semantics. Pure vision lacks affordance detection. Pattern: Two-stage. Stage 1: OmniParser detects all candidates. Stage 2: Small VLM classifies 'clickable vs decorative' using context \(surrounding text, cursor style if visible in screenshot\). Only pass clickable candidates to main LLM. Why: Reduces hallucinated actions on non-interactive regions without requiring full DOM access.
