[frontier] Viewport Coordinate Drift causes absolute pixel clicks to miss targets when window resizes or scrolls

Implement Set-of-Mark \(SoM\) with normalized coordinates \(0-1000 scale\) mapped to Accessibility Tree element IDs, not raw pixels. Ground VLM outputs to semantic element references that survive viewport changes.

Journey Context:
Teams initially lock viewport sizes, but this fails on responsive layouts. The breakthrough is decoupling spatial grounding from semantic targets using SoM tags overlaid on screenshots, where the VLM references tag IDs that map to AXTree nodes. This survives viewport changes because the AXTree is resolution-independent and the VLM only reasons about relative positions within the tagged elements.
