Report #75686

[frontier] Screenshot-only agents fail on shadow DOM and canvas-rendered UI elements

Merge Playwright's accessibility tree snapshot with viewport screenshots using CSS pixel coordinate alignment via CDP getBoxModel

Journey Context:
Pure CV agents miss semantic structure inside Web Components; pure DOM agents miss visual styling. The synthesis uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to capture both layers simultaneously, aligning AX tree nodes with bounding box screenshots. This handles React shadow roots, Canvas apps like Figma, and pseudo-elements invisible to pure vision models.
