[frontier] Pure vision agents hallucinate interactive elements on complex backgrounds or dense UIs

Adopt a hybrid vision-DOM architecture: use the accessibility tree \(AXTree\) to enumerate candidate elements, render only those bounding boxes on the screenshot, then use vision to select among the valid candidates.

Journey Context:
Vision agents hallucinate clickable elements that don't exist \(false positives\) or miss tiny icons on dense dashboards. The emergent 2026 pattern is narrowing the vision search space using the DOM accessibility tree as a filter—only elements in the AXTree get bounding boxes drawn for the VLM. This eliminates hallucination of non-interactive background elements and ensures 100% recall of interactive elements, while vision handles the spatial disambiguation.
