Universal (any-model) desktop control across macOS, Windows, and Linux via
cua-driver's background computer-use primitive. Replaces #4562's
Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach — the schema here is standard
OpenAI function-calling so every tool-capable model can drive it.
Linux is the most recent runtime (X11 + Wayland, via cua-driver-rs's
AT-SPI tree path); it is enabled here alongside macOS and Windows. When a
host's display server or accessibility stack isn't reachable, cua-driver's
`health_report` (surfaced by `hermes computer-use doctor`) reports the
exact blocked check rather than the toolset silently failing.
Return contract
---------------
For text-only results (wait, key, list_apps, focus_app, failures, etc.):
JSON string.
For captures / actions with `capture_after=True`:
A dict wrapped as the OpenAI-style multi-part tool-message content:
{
"_multimodal": True,
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "<human-readable summary + SOM index>"},
{"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {"url": "data:image/png;base64,<b64>"}},
],
"text_summary": "<text used for fallback string content>",
}
run_agent.py's tool-message builder inspects `_multimodal` and emits a
list-shaped `content` for OpenAI-compatible providers. The Anthropic
adapter splices the base64 image into a `tool_result` block (see
`agent/anthropic_adapter.py`). Every provider that supports multi-part
tool content gets the image; text-only providers see the summary only.
