Report #76930

[frontier] Pure pixel-based agents miss semantic hierarchy and fail on dynamic canvas apps

Use OmniParser to convert screenshots into structured JSON \(element type, bbox, text\) alongside image; agent reasons over structured text\+visual tokens

Journey Context:
Accessibility trees are incomplete for web apps; pure vision lacks structure. OmniParser uses VLM to detect icons/text and create pseudo-DOM. This hybrid approach outperforms pure vision on web benchmarks and enables interaction with canvas-based apps \(Figma, etc.\) where DOM is unavailable.
