Report #69118

[frontier] Agent cannot click small buttons in high-DPI or 4K screenshots

Apply dynamic resolution scaling: downsample screenshots to 768px shortest side before VLM processing, then map predicted coordinates back using proportional scaling factors.

Journey Context:
VLMs have fixed training resolutions \(often 1024x1024 or 512x512 internal\). High-res screenshots \(4K, Retina\) get compressed by vision encoders, making small UI elements \(<20px\) disappear into single pixels. Pre-downsampling to the model's native training resolution \(768px-1024px\) ensures relative element sizes match training distribution, improving detection accuracy. Coordinate remapping \(multiply by downsampling ratio\) preserves screen-space accuracy for interaction.
