+//! Agent-owned Chrome tabs, via the T3 Code Chrome extension.
+//!
+//! Chrome owns the lifetime of a native messaging host: it spawns the host when
+//! the extension connects and speaks 4-byte-length-prefixed JSON over that
+//! process's stdio. The MCP server is a different process with its own
+//! lifetime, so the two are joined by a local socket:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//!   Chrome ──stdio(length-prefixed)──▶ `t3-desktop-mcp native-host`
+//!                                          │ local socket
+//!                                          ▼
+//!                                    MCP server (this process)
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This mirrors the macOS Swift bridge exactly, including the wire messages, so
+//! one extension build serves all three platforms. The server binds the socket,
+//! so the first live server claims the browser and later ones fall back to the
+//! accessibility tools.

+//! Desktop-control MCP server for Windows and Linux.
+//!
+//! The macOS half of this feature is a Swift package (`native/t3-desktop-mcp`)
+//! built on the Accessibility API. This crate covers the other two platforms
+//! and speaks the identical MCP dialect — same tool names, same argument shapes,
+//! same tool text — so a model needs no per-platform knowledge.
+//!
+//! Transport is newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio, which is what the MCP
+//! stdio transport expects. stdout carries protocol only; anything diagnostic
+//! goes to stderr so it cannot corrupt a response.

+//! Soft lavender glow, rounded arrow PNG, curved Bezier flight with heading
+//! that follows the path tangent (frozen on land), idle breathe. No click ring.
+//! Disabled with `T3_DESKTOP_AGENT_CURSOR=0`.
+//!
+//! Fade is driven by Computer Use `tools/call` activity (see
+//! `note_desktop_tool_*`), not a wall-clock idle after the last move.
+//!
+//! Own X11 connection on a dedicated UI thread (separate from `LinuxDesktop`).
+//! Override-redirect 112×112 topmost window; ShapeInput empty so clicks pass
+//! through. Prefers a 32-bit ARGB visual; falls back to opaque-ish PutImage.

+//! Two caveats shape this file, and both are reported to the model rather than
+//! hidden:
+//!
+//! * AT-SPI is opt-in. Toolkits expose a tree only when accessibility is
+//!   enabled, so an app can be running and still have nothing to read.
+//! * Wayland refuses synthetic input by design. XTEST reaches X11 and XWayland
+//!   clients; a native Wayland client will ignore it, so we say so instead of
+//!   silently doing nothing.

+// The agent's own pointer.
+//
+// Desktop control should never fight the person sitting at the machine for
+// their mouse, so clicks go straight to a window (see `backgroundClick`) and
+// the system cursor is left alone. That leaves nothing on screen to show where
+// the agent is working, which is unnerving to watch — so we draw our own
+// pointer instead.
+//
+// AppKit needs a real application bundle to put a window up: a bare executable
+// started with `Process` never finishes launching, so the overlay stays
+// invisible and silent. The pointer therefore lives in a minimal
+// `T3AgentCursor.app`. Preferred launch is `NSWorkspace` (registers with
+// Launch Services); if that fails we fall back to `Process` aimed at the
+// bundled executable, which still gets a real `Bundle.main`. Move/hide
+// commands ride a Unix socket:
+//
+//     {"x": 400, "y": 260}              move (screen coordinates, top-left origin)
+//     {"x": 400, "y": 260, "press": true}  move (no click ring)
+//     {"hide": true}                    fade out until the next move
+//
+// Fade is driven by Computer Use tool activity (see noteDesktopTool*),
+// not a wall-clock idle after the last move. The overlay stays up across
+// mid-task pauses; it fades once desktop tools/call traffic stops.
+//
+// The look is the soft translucent bubble (lavender glow, rounded
+// arrow, spring follow with tilt/squash, idle breathe) — never a
+// system-style pointer. No click ring and no settle wobble.

+// t3-desktop-mcp — a macOS computer-use MCP server built on the Accessibility API.
+//
+// Design notes:
+//  * Speaks newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio (MCP stdio transport).
+//  * Uses AXUIElement directly, never AppleScript/System Events. AppleScript would
+//    require a per-target-app kTCCServiceAppleEvents grant that macOS frequently
+//    refuses to prompt for; AX needs only Accessibility.
+//  * Ships as a bare executable so it runs as a child of the host app and inherits
+//    the host's TCC grants. A separate .app bundle would get its own TCC identity
+//    and require its own permissions. The agent-cursor overlay is the exception:
+//    it is a minimal LSUIElement .app (no Accessibility needed) launched via
+//    NSWorkspace — a bare Process child never gets a real window.

+//      51/91/92 plus window-local coordinates via CGEventSetWindowLocation.
+//   2. SLEventSetIntegerValueField, NOT CGEvent.setIntegerValueField. The public
+//      setter takes a CGEventField enum and CGEventField(rawValue:) returns nil
+//      for the undocumented fields (51/58/91/92), so those stamps vanish.
+//   3. activate_without_raise. A background window will not accept routed input
+//      until its AppKit-active state is flipped, which is done without raising
+//      the window or switching Spaces.
+//
+// Delivery goes through both SLEventPostToPid (reaches Chromium/Catalyst, which
+// ignore the public path because it skips the activity-monitor tickle) and
+// CGEvent.postToPid (lands on AppKit targets where the SkyLight path drops).

+
+/// Deliver an event to a specific process when we know one, otherwise to the
+/// global HID tap.
+///
+/// Targeting a pid is what lets the agent work in the background: the event goes
+/// straight to that application, so the physical cursor does not jump, focus is
+/// not stolen, and the user can keep working in another app meanwhile. The global
+/// tap is a fallback for raw-coordinate calls where no app is known, and it does
