Common cause: the action is nested behind a closed menu (e.g. modern \
Notepad's Save under the File menu) — its element isn't in the visible \
subtree until the menu is opened. Call \
`get_window_state(pid={raw_pid}, window_id={hwnd})` to inspect available \
UIA actions, then use an exposed accelerator or `click` the matching \
element directly."
