Report #61270

[frontier] Agents fail when CSS transforms visually move elements away from their DOM coordinates

Use visual grounding \(SOM or element detection\) rather than DOM coordinate mapping for transformed elements

Journey Context:
Modern UIs use CSS transforms \(translate, rotate, scale\) for animations. DOM reports pre-transform coordinates; screenshots show post-transform positions. Agents using DOM-to-screen math click wrong locations. Visual grounding bypasses the coordinate system mismatch entirely, querying the rendered visual position directly. Critical for apps using Framer Motion, React Spring, or drag-and-drop interfaces.
