Report #88755

[frontier] Agent clicks stale coordinates after JavaScript re-renders UI

Reference elements by accessibility node IDs or stable CSS selectors, not pixel coordinates

Journey Context:
Visual coordinates become invalid when UIs update \(React re-renders, AJAX content\). DOM selectors break on redesigns. Solution: Use accessibility tree node IDs \(ARIA labels\) which persist across visual changes and are designed for assistive technologies. Map these to screen coordinates only at action-time, not planning-time.
