Report #65573

[frontier] Agents using screenshot crops miss critical context changes like notifications or error messages occurring outside the cropped region

Implement Attention-Guided Foveation by maintaining a low-resolution peripheral view of the full screen context combined with high-resolution foveal crops on attention-weighted regions of interest, with dynamic panning based on task relevance and change detection

Journey Context:
Fixed crops miss error banners at the top or notifications at the edge. Full screenshots at high-res waste tokens. The solution mimics human vision: a low-res thumbnail \(e.g., 200x150\) of the whole screen to detect something changed over there, combined with a high-res patch on the current working area. The agent switches foveal targets based on the low-res scan. This requires maintaining two observation streams and an attention mechanism to route between them.
