Report #82606

[frontier] Agents interact unnaturally with instant warping clicks, failing drag-and-drop or hover-dependent UIs

Model cursor movement as a sequence of coordinate deltas \(trajectory\) rather than target coordinates, enabling 'human-like' path planning and hover states

Journey Context:
Current computer-use agents output x,y coordinates for clicks. This breaks on drag-and-drop, slider controls, and hover-menus that require cursor path. Frontier research treats the cursor as an embodied agent with kinematics: predicting a sequence of \(dx, dy\) steps from current to target position, conditioned on visual feedback. This enables handling of 'hover to reveal' interactions and smooth dragging.
