Report #76699

[frontier] Agent click coordinates fail when browser window is resized or moved to displays with different DPI

Use normalized coordinates \(0.0-1.0 relative to viewport width/height\) instead of absolute pixels; scale to current resolution at execution time

Journey Context:
Absolute pixel coordinates \(e.g., 1920x1080\) break on Retina displays \(2x DPI\), mobile viewports, or when users resize windows. Normalized coordinates \(0-1\) survive dynamic resizing and multi-monitor setups. The agent predicts \(0.15, 0.3\) and the execution layer maps to current viewport pixels \(150px, 300px at 1000x1000\). This decouposes reasoning from display hardware.
