Report #77408

[frontier] Vision agent fails on dark mode, high-contrast themes, or color-inverted accessibility settings

Style-invariant preprocessing: convert screenshots to edge maps \(Canny\) or semantic segmentation before feeding to vision model; train with aggressive color augmentations

Journey Context:
Agents trained on light-mode screenshots fail catastrophically when users switch to dark mode, as 'white button' becomes 'black button' at the pixel level, breaking element recognition. Simple color histogram matching fails because modern themes use CSS variables and gradients. The frontier pattern preprocesses screenshots into representation-invariant formats: edge-detection \(Canny, Sobel\) that captures layout regardless of fill color, or semantic segmentation masks. Alternatively, use contrastive learning during training with aggressive color jitter, grayscale conversion, and solarization to ensure the model learns 'shape not shade'. Microsoft's OmniParser uses this approach for icon recognition across themes.
