[frontier] Pure screenshot agent gets stuck on long forms, dynamic tables, and repetitive scroll loops

Give the agent a persistent code-execution tool such as a Playwright or PyAutoGUI REPL so it can switch from visual reasoning to programmatic DOM queries, loops, and batch actions mid-task, then return to screenshots for verification.

Journey Context:
OpenAI's guide presents three harness shapes, and the code-execution path is explicitly trained into recent models. It is often better for loops, conditionals, and DOM inspection because the model can write a short script instead of click-by-click vision. The mistake is forcing every workflow through the built-in computer loop.
