Report #82602

[frontier] Raster screenshots consume excessive tokens and lose text fidelity at low resolution

Use SVG DOM extraction or 'skeleton' rendering \(HTML/CSS to vector\) instead of PNG screenshots, preserving text as text and structure as paths

Journey Context:
Pioneering agents \(Skyvern, Browser-use\) are experimenting with SVG or 'simplified DOM' representations where text remains selectable text, not pixels. This reduces tokens \(SVG compresses well for UI\) and eliminates OCR errors. Tradeoff: Complex CSS styling \(gradients, shadows\) may not render accurately in simplified SVG, so hybrid approaches use SVG for structure \+ low-res raster for appearance verification.
