Changes since last release

From CHANGELOG.md, 2026-11-02:

Computer Use can read and press app controls through accessibility (#306)

• New Community switch "Computer Use: read app controls (accessibility)" (Settings -> Extra -> Community Features, key computerUseAxElements, Experimental, off by default). It adds the app-scoped tools app_list_windows, app_ax_find, app_click and app_type: Claude lists a window's controls (role, name, states, position) from the desktop accessibility bus and presses a control or sets a text field by its [N] index, instead of locating everything by screenshot. With the switch off the tools do not exist and the accessibility bus is never touched.
• Safe by construction. The desktop accessibility service is switched on only while a Computer Use session needs it and restored afterwards; a running screen reader is never touched; password and terminal text is never read. Every missing piece returns a plain "unavailable" result and normal Computer Use is unaffected.
• Coverage. All four bundled bridges (X11, wlroots, KDE, GNOME) carry the new ax-enable, ax-restore, ax-find and ax-action commands (optional additions to the bridge contract, still v1). GTK, Qt, Firefox and LibreOffice apps expose their controls; Electron and Chromium apps need --force-renderer-accessibility.
