Report #92959

[frontier] Agents calculate click coordinates in screen-space instead of window-relative space, causing failures when the browser window moves or scales

Normalize all coordinates using the target window's bounding box \(from CDP Browser.getWindowBounds or AXTree coordinates\) as the reference frame, converting to viewport-relative coordinates \(0.0-1.0 range\) before execution

Journey Context:
Screen coordinates \(1920x1080\) break when the window moves to a different monitor or is resized. Viewport coordinates are stable across window movements. The AXTree provides bounding boxes in viewport-relative terms. Tradeoff: extra coordinate transformation step vs robustness to window state. Common mistake: using screenshot dimensions as viewport dimensions \(scrollbars and window chrome cause off-by errors\).
