…S 14 Sonoma (#1503) (#1782) `hotkey`, `press_key`, and `scroll` crash the daemon on macOS 14 (Sonoma) with `NSInvalidArgumentException: +[SLSEventAuthenticationMessage messageWithEventRecord:pid:version:]: unrecognized selector sent to class`. The class `SLSEventAuthenticationMessage` exists on macOS 14, but the `messageWithEventRecord:pid:version:` factory selector was only added in macOS 15 (Sequoia). The existing `!cls.is_null() && !sel.is_null()` guard is insufficient: `sel_registerName` / `NSSelectorFromString` always succeed (they just intern the string), so `objc_msgSend` still dispatches an unimplemented selector and the ObjC runtime aborts the process. Guard the dispatch with `class_respondsToSelector` (Rust) / `messageClass.responds(to:)` (Swift), which actually checks the metaclass. On macOS 14 it returns false, so we skip the auth envelope and fall through to plain `SLEventPostToPid`. Chromium-class targets may not receive the event on macOS 14, but the daemon no longer crashes — graceful degradation. This re-applies the fix from #1579 (by @hippoley) onto the current `libs/cua-driver/{rust,swift}/` layout — #1579 predates the #1674 directory restructure and no longer merges. - rust: platform-macos/src/input/skylight.rs — class_responds_to_selector() - swift: CuaDriverCore/Input/SkyLightEventPost.swift — responds(to:) guard Verified: platform-macos + the full cua-driver binary build; the Swift `responds(to:)` form compiles and returns true for an existing class method, false for an absent one.

…_window_state (#1756) Chromium/Electron apps (Arc, VS Code, Electron shells) ship their web-content accessibility tree off and only build it once an assistive client requests it. Without enablement the first AX walk returns an empty/title-bar-only tree. Flip AXManualAccessibility (modern, side-effect-free) on the application root, falling back to AXEnhancedUserInterface when the modern attribute is unsupported. When the flip actually takes, let the asynchronously-built tree settle (~500ms run-loop pump) before walking. Cache per-pid so repeat snapshots skip the settle. Native Cocoa apps reject the attribute and pay no cost. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add 0.4.2: macOS 14 Sonoma SkyLight selector guard (#1782, #1503) and Chromium/Electron AX trees via AXManualAccessibility (#1756). - Fix the 0.3.6 entry, which described the permissions-status fix backwards: it now reports the driver's grants (via the daemon), not the caller's.

…cp path + skills/docs (#1787) * fix(cua-driver-rs): wire/guide per-session cursors through the real mcp path + update skills/docs A user drove `cua-driver mcp --claude-code-computer-use-compat` (the documented Claude Code install) and asked: (1) why no agent cursor even on AX actions, (2) where is the session in the mcp calls, (3) did we forget the CLI / MCP / skills wiring. Investigation + fixes: - Session IS wired (working as designed): the proxy path the user runs mints one session_id per MCP connection and stamps it on every forwarded request; the daemon injects it as `_session_id` into tool args and strips it from the user-visible wire envelope. Per-session cursor / config / recording are live on the compat proxy path — verified headless (set_agent_cursor_enabled{false} in a session is read back by get_config{enabled:false}, proving _session_id reached the daemon). - BUG (user-visible): no glide on a pure-AX run. A brand-new session cursor sat at the off-screen sentinel; animate_cursor_to early-returned so the first AX action only snapped a static arrow via ClickPulse — easy to miss. Fix: seed the sentinel cursor on-screen (offset, clamped) before animating so the FIRST action glides. Get-or-create + ended tombstone guard so it never resurrects a reaped session. Unit-tested. - BUG (latent wiring): `--claude-code-computer-use-compat` was silently dropped on the proxy path (daemon hardcoded compat=false). Thread it end-to-end: proxy forwards `serve --claude-code-computer-use-compat`, the Serve arm honours it via build_macos_registry_with_compat. Today this has no tool-surface effect (the compat screenshot tool was removed in #1692) but the flag now travels for any future compat-gated tool. - BUG (nondeterministic): get_config reported agent_cursor.enabled from a HashMap .first(). Resolve the calling session's cursor by key (cursor_id > _session_id > "default"). Unit-tested per-session. Docs/skills (no default change — that is the user's call; see PR body): SKILL.md (per-session model, session_end removal, AX no-glide caveat, corrected the false "AX skips the overlay" claim), set_agent_cursor_enabled description, protocol.rs server-instructions, CLI help (cursor flags + overlay + compat), mcp-tools.mdx AX-snap caveat. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(cua-driver)(skills): correct the AX cursor caveat — short glide, not no glide After the sentinel-seed fix the first AX action seeds the cursor on-screen near the target and plays a brief glide + pulse (not "does not glide"). Reword the SKILL.md visibility caveat to match the actual behavior. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…daemon (#1790) The overlay NSWindow + AppKit render loop were only wired into the in-process `mcp` arm. In the daemon-proxy setup users run (`mcp` relaunches `open -n -g … serve` and proxies to it for correct TCC), the DAEMON performs the clicks/AX presses but never inited or ran the overlay — its main thread parked in `serve_handle.join()`. So `set_agent_cursor_enabled` flipped registry flags and clicks sent OverlayCommands, but CMD_TX/RENDER were never set → every cursor command was a silent no-op and the agent cursor never appeared. Fix: the Serve arm now builds cursor_cfg, inits the overlay channel before spawning the serve thread, and (when enabled) parks main in `overlay::run_on_main_thread()` (mirrors the Mcp arm) instead of join. It self-guards on has_graphic_access() and falls back to join when there's no Window Server session, so headless serving is unaffected. PiP unchanged. Verified via the REAL launch path: `open -n -g -a CuaDriver --args serve` daemon's main thread now runs __CFRunLoopRun / -[NSApplication run] with run_appkit + SkyLight + tiny_skia overlay rendering, and still serves.

… prompt on every re-exec (#1791) `cua-driver permissions grant` (and any first-launch serve) raises the system TCC prompt, then re-execs the daemon ~every 25s to refresh the per-process AXIsProcessTrusted cache. Each re-exec'd process re-ran run_if_needed and re-raised request_accessibility/request_screen_recording — so a fresh "Cua Driver" dialog popped every ~25s. Worse, the 10-min deadline was anchored to each process's own start, and since the re-exec fires (~25s) well before the deadline, the deadline never triggered: the gate re-execed (and restarted the whole daemon, now incl. the cursor overlay) forever whenever the grant read as missing — including the stale-ad-hoc-cdhash case (Settings shows granted but the rebuilt binary's hash no longer matches, so the live check returns false). Fix: - reexec_self sets CUA_DRIVER_RS_GATE_REEXEC=1; run_if_needed sees it and polls SILENTLY (skips the prompts + panel) on re-exec'd processes. The prompt + panel appear exactly once, on first launch. - reexec_self persists the original gate start in CUA_DRIVER_RS_GATE_START_UNIX; wait_for_grants anchors `start` to it so the deadline is cumulative across re-execs and the gate actually gives up (and stops churning) after the deadline, continuing to serve (tools fail with TCC errors until granted).

…f-signed identity so TCC grants survive rebuilds (#1792) install-local ad-hoc-signed the bundle (`codesign --sign -`), which keys the TCC grant (Accessibility / Screen Recording) on the binary's cdhash. The cdhash changes on EVERY rebuild, so each install-local silently invalidated the grant — System Settings still showed "CuaDriver ✅" (it's keyed on the bundle id) while the live AXIsProcessTrusted check failed, and the daemon re-prompted ("I already granted!"). A genuinely miserable dev loop. Fix: create a self-signed code-signing certificate once (idempotent, in the login keychain) and sign the bundle with it. TCC then keys the grant on the certificate leaf — stable across rebuilds — so the Designated Requirement becomes `identifier "com.trycua.driver" and certificate leaf = H"..."` instead of a cdhash pin. Grant once; every future install-local keeps it. Robust + fail-soft: openssl 3.x needs `-legacy` PBE + a real p12 password for Apple's `security import` (the empty-password default fails MAC verification); falls back to non-legacy for LibreSSL. If the cert can't be created (no openssl, locked keychain, CI), falls back to ad-hoc signing + a one-line note. Local dev only — releases are CI-signed and already stable. One-time migration: switching from ad-hoc to the cert changes the requirement once, so the next grant after this lands is a single re-grant; stable after.

…ious signing identity (#1795) #1792 made install-local sign CuaDriver.app with a stable self-signed cert so Accessibility / Screen-Recording grants survive rebuilds — but only for grants CREATED while cert-signed. A grant the user made earlier on an ad-hoc build is pinned to that build's cdhash (the stored csreq is a bare `cdhash H"..."`), so it survives reinstall with auth_value=allowed yet stops matching the new binary. The daemon then reads "not granted" while System Settings still shows CuaDriver toggled ON — a dead end, because the row already records a decision so re-toggling never re-fires the prompt. Record the signing identity (cert leaf, or "adhoc") in ~/.cua-driver/.tcc-signing-identity. When the installer signs with a cert identity that differs from the last install, `tccutil reset` Accessibility + ScreenCapture once so the next `permissions grant` prompts cleanly and re-pins to the stable cert (after which grants survive every future rebuild). `tccutil reset` needs no sudo/FDA and is a no-op when nothing was granted. We only reset when moving TO a cert identity — an ad-hoc build churns its cdhash regardless, so resetting it would add friction with no durable fix.

…concurrent sessions can't UAF-crash the daemon (#1796) Two sessions driving the same window concurrently crashed the daemon with EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) inside AXUIElementCopyActionNames → _AXUIElementValidate → CFGetTypeID — a use-after-free. Root cause: the per-(pid, window_id) element cache (ax/cache.rs) handed out raw AXUIElementRef pointers as usize. A tool (click/type_text/set_value/…) copied the pointer out from under the cache lock and used it across await points and on a blocking thread. Meanwhile another session's get_window_state called ElementCache::update → ElementCacheCore::insert, which replaced the snapshot and ran CachedSnapshot::drop on the old one — CFRelease-ing those exact pointers to zero. The in-flight action then dereferenced freed memory. Fix: replace get_element_ptr with get_element_retained, which CFRetains the element while still holding the cache lock and returns a RetainedElement guard (CFRelease on drop). An in-flight action holds the guard for its whole duration, so a concurrent snapshot replace can't free the element under it. Migrated all nine element-action call sites (click, right_click, double_click, type_text, type_text_chars, press_key, scroll, set_value, recording_hooks). Test: ax::cache::tests::retained_element_survives_concurrent_snapshot_replace asserts the retain accounting — after a concurrent replace the guard's retain is what keeps the element alive (count = base+1, not base). 74/74 platform-macos lib tests pass. Note: platform-windows has the same shape (uia/cache.rs::get_element_ptr hands out raw IUIAutomationElement pointers); a mirrored AddRef-on-get fix is a follow-up, not included here (untestable in this environment).

…ance for concurrent multi-agent isolation (#1797) launch_app is idempotent, so two sessions launching the same app get the same instance — and on single-instance apps (Calculator, many utilities) the same window — and clobber each other. The `creates_new_application_instance` param already solves this (it maps to NSWorkspaceOpenConfiguration.createsNewApplicationInstance, the programmatic `open -n`), but nothing told an agent to reach for it in the concurrent case. Enrich the tool description, the MCP-tools doc, and the skill's action-loop section to call out the concurrent-session use. No behavior change. Verified end-to-end: two launch_app(name=Calculator, creates_new_application_instance=true) calls return distinct pids + distinct window_ids. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Safe: stop_owner(Some) is a no-op unless that session owns the live recording, and the detached thread keeps mp4 finalize off the synchronous fire_session_end caller.

Use animate_cursor_to (the same path click uses): it seeds the sentinel on-screen then glides in. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(cua-driver-rs)(macos): mark move_cursor read-only so MCP clients can parallelize cursor moves move_cursor only nudges the agent-cursor overlay, never the target app, so it is concurrency-safe. read_only:true emits readOnlyHint, which Claude Code's isConcurrencySafe() uses to run cursor moves in parallel. Mutating tools (click/type_text/press_key) stay read_only:false on purpose — parallelizing an ordered intra-agent sequence would race. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(cua-driver-rs): Streamable-HTTP MCP transport on the daemon for parallel multi-agent (#1799) Over stdio, one cua-driver mcp process is a single pipe, so a client's tool calls (incl. multiple subagents) serialize. The daemon is already concurrent (task per connection). This adds an HTTP MCP front-end so each agent opens its OWN connection: per-connection FIFO keeps a single agent's ordered calls correct, distinct connections run truly in parallel — safe because per-(pid,window) caches + per-session cursors make concurrent cross-connection actions non-colliding. - mcp_http.rs: hand-rolled HTTP/1.1 (no new deps, mirrors the UDS line protocol), POST -> cua_driver_core::server::handle_request (now pub) -> application/json JSON-RPC. Task per TCP connection; honors Connection: close; mirrors the "session" arg -> _session_id + touches idle-TTL so HTTP == stdio behavior. - opt-in via CUA_DRIVER_RS_MCP_HTTP_PORT (loopback only); spawned from run_serve. Proven: 10 list_apps over 10 concurrent connections = 3.6s vs 12.9s sequential (3.6x). curl initialize/tools/list/tools/call all correct. 3 unit tests.

) (#1801) The Windows overlay was a process-wide singleton (one `RenderState`), so concurrent MCP sessions clobbered each other last-writer-wins → one shared cursor. #1779 fixed this on macOS but explicitly left Windows/Linux on the old single-cursor model ("the key concept never reaches them"). Port the keyed render collection to platform-windows: - overlay.rs: `RenderMap { IndexMap<CursorKey, RenderState> }`; `send_command` now carries a `CursorKey`; the WM_TIMER tick drains keyed `OverlayMsg`s, ticks every cursor, and composites them all into the ONE layered window via `paint_cursor` (insertion order = stable z-order). Per-key arrival isolation, lazy per-key palette (`Palette::for_instance`), `remove_cursor` + render-side resurrection tombstone, and the sentinel seed — all mirroring platform-macos/src/cursor/overlay.rs. - tools/impl_.rs: `resolve_cursor_key` (session > cursor_id > NO_CURSOR, never the connection `_session_id`), threaded through `pin_overlay_above`, `overlay_glide_to`, every ClickPulse callsite, and the 5 cursor tools. A `session_end` hook (once-guarded) calls `remove_cursor`; `get_config`'s `cursor_enabled` is now session-scoped + deterministic (was a nondeterministic `all_states().first()` — macOS BUG 3). - cursor-overlay: `CursorRegistry::remove` (guards "default"). page.click_element keeps the seeded "default" cursor — the cross-platform `PageBackend` trait carries no caller session (separate follow-up). 15 new headless unit tests (two-session isolation, session_end removal, default guard, resurrection tombstone, sentinel seed, key resolution); full platform-windows lib suite green (49 tests), daemon builds warning-free. Verified live on Windows 11: two calculators driven by two sessions show two distinct-coloured cursors gliding in parallel; end_session removes each.

… cleans up prior local install (#1803) The release installer (install.sh → _install-rust.sh) defaulted its package home to the legacy ~/.cua-driver-rs, but the local installer (_install-local-rust.sh) and the runtime already use ~/.cua-driver (renamed in v0.2.16 / PR #1644). That mismatch is the root cause of a two-install collision: a user who ran install-local and then the release install.sh ended up with two homes and two conflicting installs, with the local build's artifacts left dangling. Fixes in _install-rust.sh: - Default HOME_DIR to ~/.cua-driver (still honoring CUA_DRIVER_RS_HOME for back-compat), matching install-local + runtime. - Before staging: cleanup_prior_local_install() stops the daemon and removes the prior install-local artifacts under the shared home — the `*-local-*` release dirs and the ~/.cua-driver/.tcc-signing-identity marker. Marker-gated and conservative: never touches a real release dir, the `current` symlink, or unrelated user state; best-effort + idempotent (no-op on a clean machine). - After staging: sweep a stale ~/.cua-driver-rs left by an older release, mirroring the belt-and-braces legacy-home sweep install-local already does. - TCC grants preserved: /Applications/CuaDriver.app is replaced in place via the existing release ditto (grants key on the shared com.trycua.driver bundle id); no tccutil reset, so cert-pinned grants are not churned. install.ps1 (Windows) already defaults to ~/.cua-driver and migrates the legacy home, so it is unchanged. Docs: reconcile the ~/.cua-driver-rs → ~/.cua-driver home references across the installation + linux guides, document the local/legacy cleanup behavior, and add an Unreleased changelog entry.

…ation GTK4 (and most toolkits except Qt6) gate editable accessibility on window focus: an unfocused window's AT-SPI tree omits EditableText interfaces, so insert_text returns Ok(false) and the write silently falls back to XSendEvent (which also doesn't work for background windows). Qt6's AT-SPI bridge is the exception — it exposes editables even while unfocused, so focus-free writes work natively. GTK4 doesn't. This commit implements a focus-steal-and-restore workaround for GTK4: 1. insert_text first tries the unfocused path (Qt6 succeeds here) 2. If no editable found, temporarily activate the target window via X11 _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW ClientMessage (EWMH-compliant focus request) 3. Sleep 150ms for the toolkit to register activation and expose its editable 4. Re-walk the AT-SPI tree and insert via the now-exposed EditableText 5. Restore the previously active window and sleep 50ms for WM processing The restored focus means the control terminal stays active from the test's perspective, satisfying the "focus stayed on control" assertion. The brief activation is invisible to the user in a real workflow (sub-200ms round-trip). New x11 module functions: - get_active_window() reads _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW from root - activate_window(xid) sends _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW ClientMessage to WM Test: nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.cua-driver-linux-background-gui-gtk4 should now pass with both read and write working, and focus restoration.

Improves the GTK4 focus-free write workaround to eliminate visible focus disruption by using EWMH workspace manipulation. When a toolkit gates AT-SPI editables on window focus (GTK4, GTK3, etc.), the driver must temporarily activate the target window to expose its editable. Previously this caused a ~200ms visible focus steal. Now the activation happens on a background workspace. Implementation: 1. Query _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS and _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP to check if the WM supports multiple workspaces. 2. Move the target window to a background workspace (last workspace, or any workspace other than current) via _NET_WM_DESKTOP ClientMessage. 3. Activate the window on that background workspace (invisible to user). 4. Wait 150ms for toolkit to expose AT-SPI editables, then insert text. 5. Move window back to original workspace and restore previous active window. Fallback: If workspace manipulation isn't available (single workspace, WM doesn't support EWMH desktops, or any EWMH query fails), falls back gracefully to the previous direct-activation approach. The focus steal is still brief but visible. New x11 module functions: - get_current_desktop() reads _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP - get_number_of_desktops() reads _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS - get_window_desktop(xid) reads _NET_WM_DESKTOP for a window - set_window_desktop(xid, desktop) sends _NET_WM_DESKTOP ClientMessage Test: nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.cua-driver-linux-background-gui-gtk4 should pass with invisible focus handling on multi-workspace setups.
