Report #55308

[frontier] Vision agents fail to locate elements after viewport resize or HiDPI display changes

Normalize all coordinates to 0.0-1.0 range relative to viewport dimensions; denormalize at execution time using current viewport size, never store absolute pixels

Journey Context:
Agents trained on absolute coordinates \(1920x1080\) fail catastrophically on Mac Retina displays or mobile viewports. CSS selector-based agents survive resizing but fail on canvas/WebGL apps. The frontier pattern uses normalized coordinate spaces \(similar to CSS percentages\) that survive viewport changes, combined with visual grounding for dynamic content.
