+## What's new (2026-06-22) — GNU gettext Catalog I/O (.po / .mo)
+
+Read/compile the de-facto translation format. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v114_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v114_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_po` / `read_mo` / `GettextCatalog` / `parse_po_file` / `read_mo_file`** (`AC_gettext_translate`, `AC_gettext_ngettext`): the repo pseudo-localises and renders ICU messages but couldn't read GNU gettext `.po`/`.mo`. This parses `.po` (contexts, plurals, the `Plural-Forms` header via `gettext.c2py`), compiles a standards-compliant `.mo` that Python's own `gettext.GNUTranslations` loads, and exposes `gettext`/`ngettext`/`pgettext`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — ICU-lite MessageFormat (Plural / Select)
+
+Render count-aware localised messages. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v113_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v113_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`format_message` / `plural_category` / `ordinal_category`** (`AC_format_message`): `i18n_test.check_catalog` only compares placeholder sets and `interpolate` is flat `${var}` — neither renders `"{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}"`. This implements the ICU MessageFormat subset most apps use: `select`, `plural`, `selectordinal` with CLDR categories, exact `=N` selectors, the `#` count, `offset:`, nesting and apostrophe quoting. Injectable plural rules. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Locale-Aware List Formatting
+
+Join items the way a language expects ("A, B, and C"). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v112_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v112_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`format_list`** (`AC_format_list`): a naive `", ".join` gives "A, B, C" with no "and"/"or" and no localisation. This implements the CLDR list-pattern composition with conjunction / disjunction / unit styles and per-locale conjunction words + serial-comma rule (`en`/`es`/`fr`/`de`/`pt`) — `format_list(["a","b","c"])` → "a, b, and c", `locale="es"` → "a, b y c". Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Bidirectional-Text QA (Trojan-Source Scan)
+
+Catch invisible Unicode directional formatting (RTL QA + Trojan-source). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v111_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v111_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`detect_bidi_issues` / `bidi_controls` / `is_bidi_balanced` / `base_direction` / `is_trojan_source` / `strip_bidi_controls` / `has_bidi_controls`** (`AC_bidi_check`, `AC_bidi_strip`): `confusables` catches lookalike characters, but bidi controls (LRO/RLO/PDF, isolates, marks) can silently reorder rendered text — an RTL-QA gap and the "Trojan Source" attack (CVE-2021-42574). This lists the controls, checks nesting balance, infers base direction, and flags reordering formatting. Pure-stdlib (`unicodedata`), deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Readability Scoring
+
+Score how hard text is to read; gate generated copy on a reading grade. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v110_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v110_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`flesch_reading_ease` / `flesch_kincaid_grade` / `gunning_fog` / `smog_index` / `automated_readability_index` / `readability_report` / `readability_stats` / `count_syllables`** (`AC_readability_report`): the text utilities canonicalise, match and rank text but never scored *difficulty*. This adds the classic English readability formulae over a deterministic tokeniser and syllable heuristic, so a test can assert an on-screen message or label stays within a target reading grade. Pure-stdlib (`re`/`math`), deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Confusable / Homoglyph Detection
+
+Catch Unicode visual spoofing (IDN-homograph phishing, lookalike labels). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v109_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v109_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`confusable_skeleton` / `is_confusable` / `detect_homoglyphs` / `is_mixed_script` / `scripts_of`** (`AC_confusable_scan`, `AC_confusable_compare`): a Cyrillic `"а"` is pixel-for-pixel a Latin `"a"`, so `"pаypal"` reads as `"paypal"` yet compares unequal. Following Unicode TR39, this folds confusables to a prototype skeleton (strings match when skeletons match) and flags mixed-script tokens. Pure-stdlib (`unicodedata`), deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Locale-Aware String Collation
+
+Sort strings the way a reader of the language expects. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v108_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v108_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`sort_strings` / `collation_compare` / `collation_key`** (`AC_collation_sort`, `AC_collation_compare`): Python's default `sorted` is codepoint order, so `"Z" < "a"` and `"ä"` lands far from `"a"`. This Unicode-Collation-lite key orders by base letter, then accent (secondary), then case (tertiary), with an optional `tailoring` alphabet so Swedish puts `å ä ö` after `z`. Pure-stdlib (`unicodedata`), deterministic across platforms — unlike `locale.strxfrm`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Transactional Outbox
+
+Durably buffer events and drain them at-least-once. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v107_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v107_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`Outbox`** (`AC_outbox_enqueue`, `AC_outbox_pending`): `events.cloud_events` posts synchronously with no durability — a crash or network blip loses the event. The outbox persists each event first, then `drain`s pending entries through an injected sink with at-least-once delivery: a sink failure leaves the entry pending for retry until `max_attempts`, after which it is dead-lettered. `save` / `load` keep events across restarts. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Optimistic-Concurrency Versioned Store
+
+Update only if the version is unchanged (compare-and-swap / If-Match). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v106_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v106_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`VersionedStore` / `VersionConflict` / `if_match_header` / `check_if_match`** (`AC_cas_put`, `AC_cas_get`): `http_conditional` used ETag for read caching but never for write concurrency. This local compare-and-swap store `put`s only when `expected_version` matches (raising `VersionConflict` on a stale write), bumps a monotonic version, and bridges to HTTP `If-Match` — the write side of the ETag story. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Per-Stream Sequence-Gap Detection
+
+Detect missing / out-of-order / duplicate messages by sequence number. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v105_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v105_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`SequenceTracker`** (`AC_sequence_observe`): nothing tracked per-stream monotonic sequence numbers. `observe(stream, seq)` classifies each as `ok` / `duplicate` / `gap` (with the `missing` numbers) / `reorder` (late arrivals fill gaps), and exposes `gaps` and `high_water`. Complements `dedup_window`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Time-Windowed Deduplication
+
+Drop duplicate/redelivered messages within a TTL window. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v104_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v104_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`DedupWindow`** (`AC_dedup_check`): `work_queue` dedups only in-flight references, so a completed reference re-enqueues and redelivered webhooks reprocess. This sliding-window inbox `check_and_mark`s a message id — `True` the first time, `False` for a duplicate within `ttl_s` — converting at-least-once delivery to exactly-once-in-window. Injectable clock, bounded size. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Idempotency-Key Store
+
+Run a side effect once, replay its response on retries. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v103_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v103_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`IdempotencyStore` / `request_fingerprint` / `IdempotencyConflict`** (`AC_idempotency_begin`, `AC_idempotency_complete`): `RetryPolicy` re-executes and `work_queue` dedups only in-flight refs — nothing cached the first result. This Stripe-style store returns `new`/`in_progress`/`completed` for a key, replays the stored response, raises on a fingerprint conflict, and supports injectable-clock TTL + JSON persistence. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Moving-Average Smoothing
+
+Smooth a noisy value series. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v102_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v102_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`sma` / `wma` / `ewma` / `rolling`** (`AC_sma`, `AC_ewma`): `stats.describe` summarizes a whole sample and `timeseries` rolls counters into rates, but nothing smoothed a noisy signal. This adds trailing simple/weighted/exponentially-weighted moving averages and a generic rolling reducer, all returning a same-length list aligned to the input timeline. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Single-Series Anomaly Detection
+
+Flag the spike in one live metric series. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v101_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v101_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`detect_anomalies` / `mad_anomalies` / `zscore_anomalies` / `ewma_control`** (`AC_detect_anomalies`): `data_drift` is two-batch distribution shift and `slo.burn_alerts` only thresholds budget burn — neither points at *which* value in one series is anomalous. This flags outliers via robust MAD (modified z-score), plain z-score, and an EWMA control chart (with an optional in-control baseline) — `{index, value, score, is_anomaly}` records. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Near-Duplicate Text Detection (SimHash / MinHash)
+
+Fingerprint text to find near-dups at scale. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v100_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v100_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`simhash` / `near_duplicates` / `minhash_signature` / `minhash_similarity`** (`AC_simhash`, `AC_near_duplicates`): `fuzzy_dedupe` is O(n²) pairwise with no stable fingerprint and `image_dedup` only hashes pixels. This adds the text analog — SimHash (Hamming-distance near-dup clustering) and MinHash (estimated Jaccard) using a fixed `blake2b` hash for deterministic fingerprints. Pairs with `normalize_text`. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — String-Distance Similarity Metrics
+
+Match typos and reordered tokens. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v99_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v99_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`levenshtein` / `damerau_levenshtein` / `jaro` / `jaro_winkler` / `jaccard` / `dice` / `similarity`** (`AC_text_similarity`): `fuzzy` exposed only difflib's gestalt ratio. This adds the edit-distance and token-set metrics it lacks — Jaro-Winkler (standard for short labels), Damerau (transposition-aware), and char-n-gram Jaccard/Dice — plus a unified `similarity()` that normalizes every metric to `[0, 1]`. Pairs with `normalize_text`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Time-Series Transforms
+
+Turn counters into rates; downsample and resample. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v98_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v98_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`ts_rate` / `ts_irate` / `ts_increase` / `ts_delta` / `ts_downsample` / `ts_resample`** (`AC_ts_rate`, `AC_ts_downsample`): `observability` counters store only the current value (no counter→rate anywhere) and `cost_telemetry` only buckets by day. This adds Prometheus-style reset-aware rate/increase/delta over `(timestamp, value)` series, tumbling-bucket downsampling (avg/sum/min/max/first/last/count), and grid resampling (last/linear/none). No wall clock — deterministic. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Unicode Text Normalisation & Slugify
+
+Canonicalize text before fuzzy/search/OCR matching. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v97_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v97_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`normalize_text` / `deaccent` / `slugify` / `normalize_quotes` / `fold_whitespace`** (`AC_normalize_text`, `AC_slugify`): `fuzzy` and `search_index.tokenize` only lowercase and OCR matching only `.lower()`+substring, so `"Café"` (NFC) vs `"Café"` (NFD) vs `"cafe"` compare unequal. This adds the missing canonicalization layer (NFKC + casefold + whitespace fold, accent stripping, smart-quote mapping, ASCII slugs). Pure-stdlib (`unicodedata`), deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — JSON-Schema Compatibility Checking
+
+Classify schema changes as backward/forward/full. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v96_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v96_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`check_compatibility` / `diff_schemas` / `is_backward_compatible` / `is_forward_compatible` / `is_full_compatible`** (`AC_check_compatibility`): we could validate against and generate JSON Schemas but couldn't answer "will an old consumer still read new data?". This classifies changes (added-required field, removed field, narrowed/widened type, enum add/remove) under Confluent/Avro backward/forward/full rules over the object subset. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Typed Configuration Schema
+
+Validate config into a typed object. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v95_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v95_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`ConfigSchema` / `ConfigField` / `validate_config` / `coerce`** (`AC_validate_config`): `assets._coerce` coerces one value and `json_schema` validates structure, but nothing bound a resolved config dict into a typed object with required-field enforcement and choice constraints. This coerces types (`str`/`int`/`float`/`bool`), applies defaults, enforces required/choices, and returns `{ok, config, errors}` — a stdlib pydantic-settings analog. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — OTLP/JSON Span Export
+
+Export spans the way a collector ingests them. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v94_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v94_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`spans_to_otlp` / `attributes_to_otlp` / `write_otlp`** (`AC_spans_to_otlp`): `agent_trace.to_otel` returned flat dicts that aren't valid OTLP/JSON (no resourceSpans/scopeSpans nesting, times not as uint64 strings). This wraps spans in the proper envelope with hex IDs, uint64-string times, and OTLP `KeyValue` attribute encoding — what an OpenTelemetry collector's file exporter reads. Pairs with `trace_context`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Canonical Log Lines & Structured Logging
+
+One wide event per run, with trace correlation. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v93_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v93_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`CanonicalLogLine` / `JSONLogFormatter` / `bind_trace_context`** (`AC_canonical_log`): `logging_instance` emits a fixed pipe-delimited string with no JSON and no trace/span fields. This adds a Stripe-style canonical log line (field accumulator + `timer` with injectable clock) and a JSON `logging.Formatter` that carries `trace_id`/`span_id` — the log-trace correlation counterpart to `trace_context`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Conditional HTTP Requests & Cache Validators
+
+Skip re-downloading unchanged resources (ETag / 304). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v92_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v92_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`store_validators` / `conditioned_call` / `is_fresh` / `parse_cache_control` / `is_not_modified`** (`AC_parse_cache_control`, `AC_store_validators`): `http_request` never sent `If-None-Match`/`If-Modified-Since` nor read `Cache-Control`, so every poll re-downloaded. This extracts validators, parses `Cache-Control` (max-age/no-store/…), decides freshness by an explicit age, conditions the next request, and detects `304 Not Modified`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Cookie Jar (HTTP Session Carry)
+
+Carry a session across HTTP calls. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v91_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v91_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`CookieJar` / `parse_set_cookie`** (`AC_cookie_header`, `AC_parse_set_cookie`): `http_request` is stateless — no session cookies persisted across calls, so a login-then-call flow couldn't carry a session headlessly. This parses `Set-Cookie` headers into a jar, builds the `Cookie` request header, and saves/loads the jar as JSON (cookies cleared on `Max-Age<=0`/empty). Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — HTTP Content Negotiation & Decompression
+
+Build `Accept` headers and decode gzip/deflate. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v90_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v90_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`build_accept` / `build_accept_encoding` / `parse_quality_values` / `decode_body` / `negotiated_call`** (`AC_decode_body`, `AC_parse_quality_values`): `urllib`/`http_request` never set `Accept-Encoding` nor decoded `Content-Encoding`, so compressed bodies arrived raw. This adds `Accept`/`Accept-Encoding` builders, a q-value parser (sorted by quality), and gzip/deflate (incl. raw deflate) decoding. Brotli excluded (not stdlib). Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — multipart/form-data Build & Parse
+
+Build file-upload bodies. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v89_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v89_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`build_multipart` / `parse_multipart` / `MultipartFile`** (`AC_build_multipart`, `AC_parse_multipart`): `http_request` sent only JSON/raw — there was no file upload, and stdlib `cgi` (which parsed multipart) was removed in 3.13. This assembles a `multipart/form-data` body from text fields and files with an injectable boundary (byte-stable), and parses one back into `{fields, files}`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Secret Redaction for Config & Logs
+
+Mask secrets before logging or exporting. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v88_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v88_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`redact_config` / `redact_secret_text`** (`AC_redact_config`, `AC_redact_secret_text`): `utils/redaction` only blurs screenshots and `secrets_scan` only *detects* — neither returned a masked copy. This reuses the `secrets_scan` detector (key-name patterns, AWS/bearer formats, high-entropy) to return a redacted deep copy of a config structure, and to mask secret-looking tokens in a free-text log line (preserving surrounding words). Vault refs (`${secrets.*}`) are left intact. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — RFC 8288 Link Header & Pagination
+
+Parse `Link` headers and follow `rel="next"`. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v87_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v87_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_link_header` / `next_url` / `links_by_rel` / `paginate`** (`AC_parse_link_header`, `AC_next_url`): paginated REST APIs return `Link: <...>; rel="next"` but nothing parsed it. This parses the header (quoted values with commas, multiple links), indexes by relation, and `paginate` walks `rel="next"` over an injected `fetch` (transport/cassette) up to `max_pages`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — Referential Integrity Checks
+
+Foreign-key, unique, accepted-values and row-count checks across tables. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v86_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v86_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`check_foreign_key` / `check_unique_key` / `check_accepted_values` / `check_row_count`** (`AC_check_foreign_key`, `AC_check_unique_key`, `AC_check_accepted_values`, `AC_check_row_count`): `validate_rows` is intra-row, single-table (its `unique` only dedupes within one batch). This adds dbt-style generic checks — parent/child foreign keys across two tables, single/composite key uniqueness, accepted-values, and row-count bounds — over rows from `load_rows`/`query_sqlite`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-22) — URI-Scheme Value References
+
+Store pointers, not secrets, in config. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v85_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v85_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`resolve_ref` / `resolve_refs_in` / `is_ref` / `RefResolver`** (`AC_resolve_ref`, `AC_resolve_refs`): `interpolate` hardcoded only `${secrets.NAME}` and `AssetStore` refs were vault-name-only — there was no general read-time indirection. This resolves `env://VAR`, `file://path` (with an optional `base_dir` traversal guard), and `secret://name` (injectable resolver or the governance broker), and walks nested structures resolving every reference. Env reader / secret resolver / base dir are injectable. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — W3C Baggage Propagation
+
+Carry cross-cutting key-value context across HTTP. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v84_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v84_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`Baggage` / `parse_baggage` / `format_baggage` / `inject_baggage` / `extract_baggage`** (`AC_baggage_parse`, `AC_baggage_format`): `trace_context` carried trace/span identity but nothing propagated cross-cutting context (`run_id`/`tenant`/`experiment`). This implements the W3C Baggage header — a percent-encoded `key=value` list — with an immutable `Baggage` (set/remove return new instances) and case-insensitive inject/extract over a headers dict. Pairs with `trace_context`. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Dataset Diff (Row-Set Change Report)
+
+Diff two tabular extracts by key. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v83_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v83_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`diff_rows` / `cell_changes` / `summarize_diff`** (`AC_diff_rows`, `AC_cell_changes`): the framework diffed screens/snapshots but had nothing to diff two **tabular** row-sets by key. This keys both sides and reports `{added, removed, changed, unchanged}` (changed carries `{key, old, new}`), expands per-cell `{key, column, old, new}` changes, and counts each bucket. Supports composite keys; last-write-wins on duplicates. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Distribution Drift Detection
+
+Check whether today's data is shaped like the baseline. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v82_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v82_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`psi` / `ks_two_sample` / `categorical_drift` / `detect_drift`** (`AC_detect_drift`, `AC_categorical_drift`): `stats` had A/B experiment tests but no Population Stability Index and no KS two-sample test for reference-vs-current distributions. This adds PSI (quantile-binned log-ratio), the KS statistic with a Kolmogorov p-value, and a categorical chi-square + total-variation summary — pairing with `data_profile`. `detect_drift` gives a one-call `{psi, drifted, ks}` verdict. Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Layered Configuration Resolver
+
+Compose config with `defaults < file < env < CLI` precedence. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v81_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v81_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`LayeredConfig` / `deep_merge` / `SourceTrace`** (`AC_resolve_config`, `AC_explain_config`): `json_patch.merge_patch` merges two docs, `config_sync` is last-write-wins, `AssetStore` is flat-per-env — none compose an ordered precedence stack with deep merge or report which layer won each key. `add_layer(name, mapping, priority)` then `resolve()` deep-merges (nested dicts recursively, scalars/lists replaced); `explain("db.host")` names the winning layer. Layers are caller-supplied (env passed in, never `os.environ` implicitly). Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Server-Sent Events (SSE) Client Parser
+
+Consume `text/event-stream` responses. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v80_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v80_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_event_stream` / `SSEParser` / `SSEEvent`** (`AC_parse_sse`): the MCP HTTP transport emits SSE, but nothing consumed it — a streaming LLM/agent/chatops endpoint left `http_request` with a raw blob. This implements the WHATWG event-stream parsing algorithm (`event`/`data`/`id`/`retry`, comments, the leading-space rule, blank-line dispatch) with an incremental `feed` for chunks and a one-shot `parse_event_stream`. Pure-stdlib, fully deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Dotenv (.env) Parsing
+
+Read 12-factor `.env` files into config. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v79_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v79_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_dotenv` / `load_dotenv` / `dotenv_values` / `dump_dotenv`** (`AC_parse_dotenv`, `AC_load_dotenv`): `load_vars_from_json` ingested flat JSON but nothing read the de-facto `.env` file. This parses `KEY=VALUE` lines (`export` prefixes, single/double quoting, `\n`/`\t` escapes, inline comments) into a plain dict — no `python-dotenv` dependency. The loader merges into a caller-supplied mapping rather than mutating `os.environ`, so it stays safe and deterministic. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — RFC 9457 Problem Details Parsing
+
+Read standardized API errors out of HTTP responses. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v78_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v78_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_problem` / `is_problem` / `raise_for_problem` / `ProblemDetails`** (`AC_parse_problem`): `http_request` returned a non-2xx body unparsed, so flows and `assert_http` had no structured way to read a standardized API error. This parses the RFC 9457 `application/problem+json` document — registered `type`/`title`/`status`/`detail`/`instance` members plus vendor extensions — returning `None` for non-problem responses or raising `HttpProblemError`. Pure-stdlib, fully deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Data Profiling & Schema Inference
+
+Survey a row-set and propose a validation schema. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v77_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v77_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`profile_rows` / `infer_schema`** (`AC_profile_rows`, `AC_infer_schema`): `validate_rows` consumes a hand-written schema and `stats.describe` summarizes one numeric list — nothing surveyed a whole row-set. This profiles each column (null fraction, cardinality, inferred type, top values, numeric min/max/mean) and infers a `validate_rows`-compatible schema (required where non-null, unique where distinct, numeric bounds) — the profiler step that feeds the existing validator. Pure-stdlib, fully deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — W3C Trace Context Propagation
+
+Correlate spans and logs across HTTP boundaries. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v76_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v76_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`SpanContext` / `new_root_context` / `child_context` / `inject_context` / `extract_context`** (`AC_trace_inject`, `AC_trace_extract`): the existing tracer and `agent_trace` spans carried no IDs, so a span on one side of an HTTP call couldn't be correlated with the work it triggered on the other. This implements the W3C Trace Context standard — generate/parse/propagate `traceparent` + `tracestate` headers (version-`00`, rejects malformed/all-zero IDs), with an injectable RNG for deterministic IDs in tests. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — HTTP Record & Replay Cassette
+
+Re-run API flows in CI with no live server. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v75_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v75_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`Cassette` / `CassetteMissError`** (`AC_http_replay`): the HTTP client hardcoded its `urllib` transport, so a flow driving a real API couldn't be re-run offline. The client now exposes a `build_call` / `urllib_transport` seam, and this adds a VCR-style cassette — `replay` returns a recorded response for a matching request (pure, no network — the CI-valuable half), `recording_transport` is a thin pass-through over the live transport. Match on `method`/`url` (optionally `body`); `save`/`load` JSON cassettes. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Bulkhead & Rate-Limit Headers
+
+Cap concurrency, honor server back-off. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v74_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v74_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`Bulkhead` / `next_delay` / `parse_retry_after` / `parse_ratelimit`** (`AC_bulkhead_run`, `AC_retry_after`): `resilience` recovers and `rate_limit` paces, but nothing capped *simultaneous* in-flight calls (a slow dependency could exhaust every worker) and the HTTP client ignored `Retry-After`/`RateLimit-*`. This adds a bulkhead (bounded-concurrency permit that sheds load with `BulkheadFullError` when full) and parsers for the server's advised delay (delta-seconds or HTTP-date). Non-blocking permit counting → deterministic, no threads in tests. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Streaming Latency Percentiles
+
+Mergeable p99 for load/soak runs. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v73_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v73_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`LatencyDigest` / `exact_percentiles`** (`AC_percentiles`): `stats.percentile` needs the full sorted list; this adds a HdrHistogram-style digest with O(1) `record`, bounded memory (significant-figure buckets), and `merge` for cross-shard aggregation — the property you need for a correct aggregate p99 from per-worker results. `exact_percentiles` covers the small-set case (arbitrary quantiles). Pure-stdlib `math`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Service-Level Objectives (SLO)
+
+SLI, error budget and burn-rate alerts. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v72_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v72_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`evaluate_slo` / `burn_rate` / `burn_alerts` / `default_burn_rules`** (`AC_evaluate_slo`, `AC_burn_alerts`): the framework emitted raw signals but had no SLO layer. This computes the SLI over outcome records (`[{timestamp, ok}]`), the error budget against a target, and the **multi-window multi-burn-rate** alerts from the Google SRE workbook (page 14.4×@1h, 6×@6h; ticket 1×@3d — firing only when both windows exceed the threshold). Records are plain data, clock injectable, fully deterministic. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Chaos Experiments
+
+Inject faults, verify the system holds. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v71_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v71_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`ChaosExperiment` / `run_experiment` / `Probe` / `latency_fault` / `exception_fault`** (`AC_run_chaos`): `resilience` *recovers* from failures; this *causes* them and checks a steady-state hypothesis still holds (Chaos Toolkit lifecycle — verify before, inject faults, verify after, roll back LIFO). Probes/faults/rollbacks are callables; the clock/RNG/sleep are injectable so experiments run **deterministically** in tests with no real failures or sleeping. `AC_run_chaos` drives an action-list spec. Pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — JSON Contract & Snapshot Matching
+
+Match, diff and snapshot JSON payloads. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v70_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v70_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`match_json` / `diff_json` / `normalize_json` / `snapshot_json`** (`AC_match_json`, `AC_diff_json`): `json_schema` validates against an authored schema and `jsonpath` extracts, but nothing matched two payloads with relaxed rules or diffed them path-by-path. This adds contract/snapshot matching — `partial` (subset), `match_type` (Pact-style `like`), `ignore` volatile paths — returning `{path, kind}` mismatches (`missing`/`extra`/`changed`), plus golden-master `snapshot_json`. Composes with `json_schema` + `json_patch`; pure-stdlib.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — SLSA Build Provenance
+
+Attest what was built. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v69_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v69_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`build_provenance` / `subject_for` / `verify_provenance` / `write_provenance`** (`AC_build_provenance`, `AC_verify_provenance`): the framework signs action files and inventories deps (SBOM) but couldn't attest *what was produced by which build*. This adds an in-toto v1 Statement with a SLSA v1 provenance predicate over file `sha256` digests, and a verifier that re-hashes the artifacts (tamper → mismatch). Complements `action_signing` + `sbom`; pure-stdlib `hashlib`+`json`, fully offline.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Feature Flags
+
+Toggle behavior with targeting & rollout. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v68_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v68_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`FlagStore` / `evaluate_flag` / `is_enabled` / `assign_variant`** (`AC_evaluate_flag`, `AC_flag_enabled`): `decision_table` is one-shot DMN and `ab_locator` is locator A/B — neither is a product flag store with sticky % rollout. This adds an OpenFeature-shaped engine: targeting rules (`eq`/`in`/`semver_*`…), weighted variants, kill switch, and consistent-hash bucketing (`sha256(key.salt.context_key)`) so a subject is **sticky**. Returns `{value, variant, reason}` (`TARGETING_MATCH`/`SPLIT`/`DISABLED`/`ERROR`). Pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Text Diff, Patch & Three-Way Merge
+
+Apply and merge text diffs. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v67_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v67_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`unified_diff` / `apply_unified` / `three_way_merge`** (`AC_unified_diff`, `AC_apply_unified`, `AC_three_way_merge`): `difflib` *generates* a unified diff but the stdlib can't *apply* one, and there was no three-way merge. This adds the missing applier (walks `@@` hunks, verifies context, raises on mismatch) and a line-based three-way merge (non-overlapping edits combine cleanly; overlapping ones emit `<<<<<<<` conflict markers). Complements `json_patch` (structured JSON); pure-stdlib `difflib`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Calendar Recurrence Rules (RRULE)
+
+Schedule "every 2nd Tuesday". Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v66_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v66_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_rrule` / `occurrences` / `next_occurrence`** (`AC_rrule_occurrences`, `AC_rrule_next`): the scheduler's cron is 5-field interval-only — it can't express "every 2nd Tuesday", "the last weekday of the month", or "every weekday for 10 occurrences". This adds an RFC 5545 (iCalendar) RRULE parser + occurrence expander supporting `FREQ`/`INTERVAL`/`COUNT`/`UNTIL`/`BYDAY` (with ordinals like `2MO`/`-1FR`)/`BYMONTHDAY`/`BYMONTH`/`BYSETPOS`/`WKST`. Pure-stdlib `datetime`+`calendar`, injectable clock for deterministic `next_occurrence`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Statistics & A/B Significance
+
+Decide whether a difference is real. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v65_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v65_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`describe` / `percentile` / `two_proportion_z_test` / `welch_t_test` / `cohens_d` / `chi_square_2x2`** (`AC_describe_stats`, `AC_ab_significance`): `ab_locator` ranks by raw success rate and `run_history` stores durations, but nothing computed percentiles or significance. This adds the analysis layer — summary stats + p50/p90/p95/p99, a two-proportion z-test (with CI), Welch's t-test (exact t-distribution p-value via the incomplete beta — no SciPy), Cohen's d, and a 2×2 chi-square. The normal CDF is exact via `math.erf`; validated against textbook values (incl. the chi²=z² identity). Pure-stdlib `math`+`statistics`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Full-Text Search (BM25)
+
+Rank a document corpus by relevance. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v64_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v64_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`SearchIndex` / `search_documents` / `tokenize`** (`AC_search_documents`, `ac_search_documents`): `fuzzy` is pairwise and `skill_library` matches substrings alphabetically — neither ranks a corpus by relevance. This adds an inverted-index search ranked with Okapi BM25 (`k1=1.5`, `b=0.75`, `IDF = ln(1+(N−df+0.5)/(df+0.5))`) or TF-IDF, so a rare term out-ranks a common one, term frequency saturates, and long docs are normalized down. Incremental `add`/`remove`, optional stop-words, deterministic ranking. Pure-stdlib `math`+`collections`+`re` — no database.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — JSON Pointer, Patch & Merge Patch
+
+Address, diff and patch JSON. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v63_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v63_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`resolve_pointer` / `make_patch` / `apply_patch` / `merge_patch` / `make_merge_patch`** (`AC_resolve_pointer`, `AC_apply_json_patch`, `AC_make_json_patch`, `AC_merge_patch`): `jsonpath` is read-only and `approval` compares whole artifacts — nothing could address one location, compute a structured delta, or apply a partial update. This adds the three IETF primitives — JSON Pointer (RFC 6901), JSON Patch (RFC 6902, all six ops, **atomic** apply), and JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7386, `null` deletes) — for config-drift detection, partial updates, HTTP PATCH bodies, and golden-master deltas. Pure-stdlib `json`+`copy`, validated against the RFC test vectors.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Client-Side Rate Limiting
+
+Stay under API quotas. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v62_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v62_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`TokenBucket` / `SlidingWindowLimiter` / `throttle`** (`AC_rate_limit`, `ac_rate_limit`): `RetryPolicy`/`CircuitBreaker` recover from failures but nothing shaped the *rate* of calls. This adds a token bucket (smooth rate + burst), a sliding-window limiter (Cloudflare's O(1) weighted counter), and a leading-edge throttle decorator. Every limiter takes an injectable `clock` (and `acquire` a `sleep`) so it's fully deterministic in CI with no real delays. `AC_rate_limit` gates an action against a named bucket, returning `{acquired, tokens, wait}`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
+
+Mint and verify bearer tokens for the APIs you automate. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v61_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v61_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`encode_jwt` / `decode_jwt` / `ClaimsPolicy`** (`AC_jwt_encode`, `AC_jwt_decode`): the framework had HMAC *file* signing and an ACME-bound RS256 JWS, but nothing to mint/verify a compact bearer JWT. This adds a pure-stdlib HS256/384/512 codec with full claim validation (`exp`/`nbf`/`aud`/`iss`, injectable clock) that drops straight into `http_request`'s bearer auth. Safe by default: rejects `alg:none`, enforces an algorithm allowlist (anti-confusion), and compares signatures with `hmac.compare_digest`. `AC_jwt_decode` returns `{ok, claims}` so flows can branch without raising.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — License Policy Gate
+
+Flag disallowed dependency licenses. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v60_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v60_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`evaluate_sbom` / `evaluate_license` / `normalize_spdx` / `license_findings_to_sarif`** (`AC_check_licenses`, `ac_check_licenses`): the SBOM recorded each dependency's license name but never *judged* it. This normalizes license strings to SPDX ids and evaluates them against an allowlist/denylist (with a built-in `DEFAULT_COPYLEFT` set), understanding SPDX expressions (`OR` = choice, `AND` = all), then bridges violations into SARIF (`denied`→error, `unknown`→warning). Pure-stdlib, fully offline — the license-compliance lane beside the OSV vulnerability lane.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — OpenVEX Vulnerability Triage
+
+Suppress the vulns that don't affect you. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v59_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v59_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`vex_statement` / `build_vex` / `apply_vex`** (`AC_apply_vex`, `ac_apply_vex`): the OSV scanner surfaces every known CVE forever — there was no way to record "we checked, this one doesn't affect us". This authors [OpenVEX](https://openvex.dev) 0.2.0 statements and applies them to the scanner's findings: `not_affected`/`fixed` **suppress** a finding, `affected`/`under_investigation` **annotate** it. Statements join on the vuln id *or* an alias, optionally product-scoped; `not_affected` requires a justification or impact statement. Pure-stdlib; chains directly after `AC_scan_vulns`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — Dependency Vulnerability Scanning (OSV)
+
+Match the SBOM against known CVEs. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v58_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v58_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`scan_components` / `match_package` / `is_affected` / `findings_to_sarif`** (`AC_scan_vulns`, `ac_scan_vulns`): `build_sbom` only *inventoried* dependencies and `to_sarif` only *exported* findings — nothing ever **produced** a vulnerability finding. This matches the SBOM's `(ecosystem, name, version)` components against an [OSV](https://osv.dev) advisory database (sweeping `introduced`/`fixed`/`last_affected` ranges, PEP-503 name normalization, severity→SARIF level) and bridges results into the existing SARIF exporter for GitHub/Azure DevOps code scanning. The advisory DB is **injected as data** (offline, deterministic); the live `osv.dev` query is an optional `fetcher` seam. Pure-stdlib `re`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-21) — JSON Schema Validation
+
+Validate nested JSON against a real schema. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v57_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v57_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`validate_json` / `is_valid` / `assert_schema`** (`AC_validate_json`, `ac_validate_json`): the framework only *generated* JSON Schema and `data_quality` is a flat per-column checker — neither could validate a nested API request/response body. This adds the consumer: a JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12 subset) validator that reports **every** violation as `{path, keyword, message}` (e.g. `$.age maximum`). Covers `type` (incl. integral-float `integer`), `enum`/`const`, numeric/string bounds, array & object keywords, `allOf`/`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`not`, boolean schemas and local `$ref`. Pure-stdlib `re`; pairs with `json_query` and the `http_request` helper.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — SARIF 2.1.0 Findings Export
+
+Unify scanner findings for GitHub code scanning. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v56_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v56_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`to_sarif` / `write_sarif` / `make_finding` / `from_lint_issues` / `from_audit_findings`** (`AC_export_sarif`, `ac_export_sarif`): the framework's findings producers (action-lint, secrets scan, WCAG audit, guardrail) had no common export. This builds a SARIF 2.1.0 document — with auto rule catalog and stable `partialFingerprints` for cross-run dedupe — that GitHub/Azure DevOps code scanning ingests as line-anchored alerts. Pure-stdlib `json`+`hashlib`; adapters normalize the existing lint/audit shapes.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Text PII Detection & Redaction
+
+Mask PII in text before it leaks. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v55_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v55_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`detect_pii` / `redact_pii_text`** (`AC_detect_pii` / `AC_redact_pii`, `ac_*`): image redaction existed but text (OCR, clipboard, LLM I/O, logs) had no string-level PII handling. This detects emails / phones / SSNs / credit cards / IPv4 / IBANs over plain text and redacts with `label` / `mask` / `partial` / `hash`. Overlapping spans dedupe (a card isn't also a phone); patterns are backtracking-safe. Pure-stdlib `re`+`hashlib`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Self-Healing Locator Write-Back
+
+Persist corrected locators so heals aren't forgotten. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v54_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v54_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`RepairStore` / `repair_from_heal`** (`AC_repair_record` / `AC_repair_resolved` / `AC_repair_pending` / `AC_repair_approve`, `ac_*`): runtime self-healing previously **threw away** the corrected location, so every run re-healed. This records the corrected locator (coords/VLM description/method) from a heal, **auto-applies** it when `confidence >= auto_threshold` (default 0.9) or queues a reviewable suggestion, and `resolved(key)` returns the learned fix for reuse. Closes the heal→durable-fix loop; pure-stdlib, fully testable.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — DMN-Style Decision Tables
+
+Externalize branching into reviewable rule tables. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v53_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v53_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`evaluate_table` / `DecisionTable`** (`AC_decision_table`, `ac_decision_table`): replaces nested `AC_if_var` chains with rows of `conditions -> outputs` and a hit policy (`UNIQUE`/`FIRST`/`PRIORITY`/`COLLECT`). Cell conditions are wildcard / literal / `{op, value}` using the executor's standard comparators (reused, not duplicated). Pure-stdlib, fully testable; the DMN way to keep business rules data-driven.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Saga / Compensating Rollback
+
+Undo completed steps when a later one fails. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v52_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v52_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`Saga` / `run_saga`** (`AC_run_saga`, `ac_run_saga`): records a compensating action per step; on any failure runs the completed steps' compensations in **LIFO** order — the durable-transaction primitive `AC_try` (single-block) couldn't provide. Forward actions/compensations are callables (or JSON action lists), so it's fully unit-tested with no side effects; compensation is best-effort (a failing undo is logged, rollback continues). Returns `{ok, completed, compensated, failed_step, error}`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — JSONPath Querying
+
+Query API/DB JSON with wildcards, recursion, filters. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v51_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v51_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`json_query` / `json_query_one` / `json_extract`** (`AC_json_query` / `AC_json_extract`, `ac_*`): the executor's path walker only split on `.` and indexed — this adds a JSONPath subset (`$`, `.key`, `[n]`/`[-n]`, `*`/`[*]`, `..` recursive descent, `[?(@.k op v)]` filters) over parsed JSON, so array-bearing API/DB responses are easy to extract from. `json_extract` runs a `{key: path}` mapping into a flat dict. Pure-stdlib `re`; the path engine `AC_http_to_var` and DB-row flows were missing.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Multi-Channel Webhook Notifications
+
+Alert Teams/Discord/Slack/webhook. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v50_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v50_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`notify_webhook` / `WebhookChannel`** (`AC_notify_webhook`, `ac_notify_webhook`): `notify` was desktop-toast only and ChatOps shipped Slack only — this sends to **Slack / Discord / Microsoft Teams / raw** webhooks, building the transport-shaped payload (Slack & Teams MessageCard use `text`, Discord uses `content`) and POSTing via the egress-guarded HTTP client. The `poster` transport is injectable (or `set_default_poster`), so sending is unit-tested with no network.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Outbound CloudEvents Emitter
+
+Emit run/automation events as CloudEvents. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v49_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v49_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`to_cloudevent` / `EventEmitter` / `post_cloudevent`** (`AC_emit_event`, `ac_emit_event`): the repo could receive webhooks but not **emit** events — this wraps run-lifecycle/assertion/failure data in a CloudEvents 1.0 (CNCF) envelope and optionally POSTs it over the egress-guarded HTTP client (interop with Knative, Azure Event Grid, iPaaS, generic webhooks). The `sink`/`poster` transport is injectable, so emission is unit-tested with no network.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Environment-Scoped Typed Asset Store
+
+Per-environment typed config + credential refs. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v48_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v48_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`AssetStore` / `active_environment`** (`AC_set_asset` / `AC_get_asset` / `AC_list_assets`, `ac_*`): the orchestrator "Assets/lockers" pillar — centrally-managed config values that differ by environment (dev/staging/prod) and carry a type (`text`/`int`/`bool`/`credential`). `get` coerces to the declared type and falls back to the default env; `credential` assets hold a secret *reference* that `resolve` turns into the real value via an injected resolver (Python-only, so secrets never enter `get`/executor records). Fills the gap the secret vault (secret-only) and config-sync (whole-blob) left.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Task / Process Mining (Automation-Candidate Discovery)
+
+Discover what to automate from recorded action logs. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v47_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v47_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`mine_action_log` / `find_repeated_sequences` / `directly_follows` / `rank_automation_candidates`** (`AC_mine_actions`, `ac_mine_actions`): mines a recorded action log for frequent, repeatable command n-grams, builds a directly-follows graph, and ranks automation candidates by `count × length` — the RPA "task mining" pillar AutoControl recorded data for but never analysed. Pure-stdlib; operates on the existing action-list shape; a candidate that recurs and spans several steps is a strong "extract into a skill" signal.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Stuck-Loop Guard (Agent Loop Progress Detection)
+
+Catch agents stuck in no-progress loops. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v46_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v46_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`LoopGuard` / `digest_result`** (`AC_loop_guard_observe` / `AC_loop_guard_reset`, `ac_*`): the top computer-use failure mode is an agent repeating an action with no effect — and the model can't see its own loop. `LoopGuard` watches the `(tool, args, result)` stream and flags `repeat` (same call N times), `ping_pong` (A-B-A-B), and `no_op` (observation digest unchanged), escalating `ok`→`warn`→`critical` by run length. Complements the step/time budget and offline trajectory eval; pure-stdlib, deterministic.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Coordinate-Space Mapping (Model Grid ⇄ Physical Pixels)
+
+Translate computer-use model clicks to real pixels. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v45_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v45_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`CoordinateSpace` / `xga_space` / `normalized_space` / `downscale_png`** (`AC_to_physical` / `AC_to_model`, `ac_*`): computer-use/VLA models click in a fixed grid (Anthropic downscales to XGA; Gemini returns a 1000×1000 grid), not physical pixels. This maps both ways (round + clamp), `xga_space` aspect-preserves without upscaling, and `downscale_png` resizes a screenshot to the model's input size (Pillow, already core). Pure-arithmetic mapping — unit-tested without a model/GPU.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Voice-Command Router
+
+Trigger flows hands-free from recognized speech. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v44_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v44_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`VoiceRouter`** (`AC_voice_register` / `AC_voice_dispatch` / `AC_voice_list` / `AC_voice_clear`, `ac_*`): map spoken trigger phrases to `AC_*` action lists; feed it recognized text and it runs the closest registered command (phrase matching reuses the fuzzy matcher, so "save the file" fires "save file"). **Speech-to-text is out of scope and injectable** — the router takes text and a `recognizer`/`runner` callable, so routing is fully unit-tested without audio or any speech dependency (a real Vosk/mic recogniser plugs into `listen_once`).
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Locale-Aware Number, Currency & Date Parsing
+
+Parse localized numbers/currency/dates. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v43_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v43_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`parse_decimal` / `parse_number` / `format_decimal` / `format_currency` / `format_date`** (`AC_parse_decimal` / `AC_parse_number` / `AC_format_decimal` / `AC_format_currency` / `AC_format_date`, `ac_*`): OCR/UI text like `"1.234,56"` (de_DE) parses correctly to `1234.56` via **Babel**'s CLDR data, and values format back per-locale. `babel` is an optional `[locale]` extra, imported lazily; functional tests run under `importorskip` (wiring/facade always verified).
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Perceptual-Hash Image Dedupe
+
+Collapse near-identical screenshots. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v42_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v42_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`average_hash` / `dhash` / `hamming_distance` / `images_similar` / `dedupe_images`** (`AC_image_hash` / `AC_dedupe_images`, `ac_*`): perceptual hashing maps visually similar images to close fingerprints, so near-duplicate frames in a recording or step report cluster by Hamming distance and collapse to one representative. Uses **Pillow** (already core — no extra dep); the dedupe/compare logic is pure Python with an injectable `hasher`, so clustering is unit-tested without any image and the real Pillow path under `importorskip`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — S3-Compatible Artifact Store
+
+Push run artifacts to object storage. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v41_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v41_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`S3ArtifactStore`** (`AC_s3_upload` / `AC_s3_download` / `AC_s3_list` / `AC_s3_delete`, `ac_*`): upload/download/list/delete reports, screenshots, and recordings against any S3-compatible bucket (AWS S3, MinIO, R2). `boto3` is an **optional** `[s3]` extra and the client is **injectable**, so the store's logic — and the executor path — are fully unit-tested with a fake client (no boto3/network); the live AWS path is honestly noted as CI-unverifiable. The whole API is relative to the store `prefix`. A module-level default store backs the commands.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-20) — Fuzzy String Matching & Dedupe
+
+Match noisy OCR/UI text robustly. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v40_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v40_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`fuzzy_ratio` / `fuzzy_best_match` / `fuzzy_matches` / `fuzzy_dedupe`** (`AC_fuzzy_ratio` / `AC_fuzzy_best_match` / `AC_fuzzy_dedupe`, `ac_*`): score similarity (0..1), pick the closest candidate from a list, or collapse near-duplicates — so a flow can act on "the button that *looks like* Submit" rather than an exact label. The default backend is stdlib `difflib` (**zero extra deps**); the optional `[fuzzy]` extra adds `rapidfuzz` for speed, with scores normalised either way. `ignore_case` and `score_cutoff` supported.

+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Video Step-Overlay Report
+
+Caption screenshots into a walkthrough video. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v39_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v39_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`write_step_video`** (`AC_write_step_video`, `ac_write_step_video`): turns per-step screenshots into a shareable video where each frame is held for a few seconds with its caption and a pass/fail colour banner burned in. The assembly logic (`build_overlay_plan` / `render_overlay_frame`) is separated from OpenCV via injectable `loader`/`drawer`/`writer_factory` hooks — unit-testable with fakes and no `cv2`/`numpy` dependency; the real path lazily imports `cv2` only when those hooks are absent. The visual companion to the HTML/JSON reports.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Agent Observability (GenAI OpenTelemetry Spans)
+
+OTel GenAI-convention spans for LLM runs. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v38_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v38_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`AgentTrace`** (`AC_trace_record` / `AC_trace_summary` / `AC_trace_export` / `AC_trace_reset`, `ac_*`): records spans whose attributes follow the OpenTelemetry **GenAI semantic conventions** (`gen_ai.operation.name`, `gen_ai.system`, `gen_ai.request.model`, `gen_ai.usage.input_tokens`/`output_tokens`, `gen_ai.tool.name`) and the `"{operation} {model}"` span name. `to_otel()` drops into an OTLP exporter; `summary()` rolls up token cost and latency; an `operation()` context manager times live blocks and marks errors. Pure-stdlib (no `opentelemetry` dep), injectable clock; pairs with trajectory evaluation (record here, score there).
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Compliance Control Report (SOC2 / ISO 27001)
+
+Map governance evidence to named controls. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v37_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v37_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`build_compliance_report`** (`AC_compliance_report`, `ac_compliance_report`): the framework already ships the controls an auditor cares about — egress allowlist, JIT credential leases, maker-checker approval, secrets scanner, audit logging, CycloneDX SBOM. This maps a flat `evidence` mapping to SOC2 (CC6.1/CC6.3/CC6.8/CC7.3/CC8.1) and ISO 27001 (A.5.23/A.8.16/A.8.30) controls, each marked `satisfied`/`gap`/`not_assessed`, and renders JSON or a standalone HTML table. The capstone of the governance set — a reporting aid, not a certification.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Agent Trajectory Evaluation
+
+Score an agent run against a rubric. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v36_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v36_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`evaluate_trajectory`** (`AC_evaluate_trajectory`, `ac_evaluate_trajectory`): scores a recorded trajectory (ordered `{action, args, observation}` steps) against a declarative rubric — `required_actions` (+`ordered`), `forbidden_actions`, `max_steps`, `success_contains`. Returns `{passed, score, steps, checks}` where `score` is the fraction of applicable checks passed and each `check` pinpoints a violated expectation. A deterministic, dependency-free signal for agent regression testing; the rubric is plain data so it lives in JSON action files and travels over MCP.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Approval Testing (Golden-Master Baselines)
+
+Lock outputs against a human-approved baseline. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v35_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v35_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`verify_artifact` / `approve_artifact`** (`AC_verify_artifact` / `AC_approve_artifact` / `AC_pending_artifacts`, `ac_*`): golden-master / snapshot testing for *any* artifact (text, JSON, OCR output, screenshot bytes). `verify_artifact` compares produced content to `<name>.approved.<ext>`; a mismatch or missing baseline writes `<name>.received.<ext>` for review and fails, and `approve_artifact` promotes a reviewed received file to the baseline. Complements pixel diffing with a review-gated baseline you commit alongside the test; names are path-traversal-checked.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Network Egress Allowlist Guard
+
+Pin which hosts automation may reach. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v34_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v34_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`EgressPolicy` / `set_egress_policy`** (`AC_egress_allow` / `AC_egress_check` / `AC_egress_reset`, `ac_*`): an allow list (default-deny) and/or deny list of `fnmatch` host globs (`*.example.com`) consulted by **every** `http_request` (so `AC_http` and all features built on it are covered at once). Blocked hosts raise `EgressBlocked` *before* a socket opens. Starts in allow-all mode — no behavior change until an operator locks egress down. Closes the exfiltration surface for unattended automation.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Just-In-Time Credential Leases
+
+Zero standing privilege for secrets. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v33_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v33_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`CredentialBroker`** (`AC_lease_secret` / `AC_lease_valid` / `AC_revoke_lease` / `AC_lease_active`, `ac_*`): a consumer takes a short-lived *lease* (token bound to a secret name + expiry); the real value is fetched only at `redeem` time, only while valid, through a pluggable resolver (an unlocked `SecretManager`, env, vault). Secret values never enter executor/MCP records — the executor/MCP/Builder surfaces manage the lease lifecycle only; `redeem` is a deliberate Python-API-only escape hatch. Clock and resolver injectable.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Maker-Checker Approval Gate
+
+Segregation of duties for high-risk steps. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v32_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v32_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`ApprovalGate`** (`AC_approval_request` / `AC_approval_approve` / `AC_approval_reject` / `AC_approval_status`, `ac_*`): a *maker* files a high-risk action and gets a token; a *checker* — required to be a **different** principal — approves or rejects it; the action proceeds only once `is_approved` is true. State is an optional shared JSON file so the dispatcher and the human approver can run as separate processes. Pure-stdlib, SOC2-style four-eyes control.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Plugin SDK
+
+Third-party `AC_*` commands via entry points. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v31_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v31_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`discover_plugins` / `load_plugins`** (`AC_list_plugins` / `AC_load_plugins`, `ac_*`): a pip package registers new executor commands declaratively in the `je_auto_control.commands` entry-point group; AutoControl discovers and registers them at runtime (immediately usable from JSON flows, socket server, scheduler, MCP). Broken plugins are skipped; the declarative, namespaced complement to the runtime path loader.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — MCP Structured Output
+
+MCP 2025-06-18 structured tool output. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v30_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v30_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`MCPTool(output_schema=...)`** — a tool may declare an `outputSchema`; its dict result is returned as `structuredContent` in the `tools/call` response so clients/LLMs consume a typed, schema-validated object instead of re-parsing text. `to_descriptor()` advertises it in `tools/list`; non-dict results and schema-less tools are unchanged. `ac_validate_rows` is the first built-in to adopt it.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Tweened Drag
+
+Deterministic eased drags. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v29_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v29_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`tween_points` / `tween_drag` / `easing_names`** (`AC_tween_drag`, `ac_tween_drag`): drag from `start` to `end` along an eased curve (linear / ease_in_out_quad / ease_out_cubic / ease_in_cubic) — deterministic, pure-math path, injectable sink for tests; complements the humanized jitter.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Process-Doc (SOP) Generator
+
+Turn an action list into a step-by-step SOP. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v28_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v28_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`generate_sop` / `write_sop`** (`AC_generate_sop`, `ac_generate_sop`): map a recorded/authored action list to numbered, human-readable steps + an HTML document (UiPath Task-Capture deliverable); content HTML-escaped, unknown commands degrade gracefully.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Heal Analytics & Secret Scan
+
+Two pure-stdlib audit/analysis tools. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v27_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v27_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Self-heal analytics** — `analyze_heal_log` / `heal_stats` (`AC_heal_stats`, `ac_heal_stats`): aggregate the self-heal log into heal-rate, strategy mix, fallback-rate, avg latency and the most-brittle locators — catch decaying selectors before they fail.
+- **Secret scan** — `scan_secrets(data)` (`AC_scan_secrets`, `ac_scan_secrets`): flag hardcoded secrets in action JSON (by key name, value pattern, or high entropy) that should use `${secrets.*}`; vault refs ignored, previews masked.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — CI Annotations & Clipboard History
+
+Two pure-stdlib utilities. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v26_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v26_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **CI annotations** — `emit_annotations(results)` (`AC_ci_annotations`, `ac_ci_annotations`): turn result dicts into GitHub Actions workflow commands (`::error file=...,line=...::msg`) so failures show inline in a PR, no reporter action needed.
+- **Clipboard history** — `ClipboardHistory` / `default_clipboard_history` (`AC_clip_history_capture`/`list`/`search`/`start`/`stop`, `ac_clip_history_*`): a capped, searchable, newest-first ring buffer of copied text with an optional background poller.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Resilience Primitives
+
+Reusable retry + circuit-breaker primitives. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v25_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v25_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **RetryPolicy** — `RetryPolicy(...).run(fn)` / `retry_call(fn)`: retry on configured exceptions with exponential backoff (injectable sleep). (The existing `AC_retry` flow command already retries an action body; this is the reusable callable wrapper.)
+- **CircuitBreaker** — `CircuitBreaker` / `CircuitOpenError` (`AC_circuit_call`, `ac_circuit_call`): open after N consecutive failures, short-circuit until a reset timeout, then half-open — stops a retry storm hammering a downed dependency. Injectable clock; `AC_circuit_call` runs an action list through a named breaker.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Timed Input Macros
+
+Replay input with timing fidelity + a press-hold-release DSL, full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v24_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v24_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Timed timeline replay** — `replay_timeline(events, speed=...)` (`AC_replay_timeline`, `ac_replay_timeline`): replay events honoring each `delta_ms` gap, scaled by `speed` and clampable; ops = move/click/scroll/press/release/key.
+- **Input-sequence DSL** — `run_sequence(steps)` (`AC_input_sequence`, `ac_input_sequence`): declarative press/hold/release chords + `repeat`/`wait`. Both inject sink+sleep for deterministic tests.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Semantic Screen State
+
+The semantic companion to the pixel diff, full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v23_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v23_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Snapshot & diff** — `snapshot` / `diff_snapshots` / `snapshot_screen` / `screen_changed` (`AC_screen_snapshot` / `AC_screen_diff` / `AC_screen_changed`, `ac_*`): normalize the a11y tree to `{role, name, bbox}` and report what **appeared / vanished / moved** with a human-readable summary — the feedback signal an agent needs to verify a step ("Save dialog appeared").
+- **Describe the screen** — `describe_screen` (`AC_describe_screen`, `ac_describe_screen`): a compact "where am I" — role counts + interactive control labels.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Set-of-Marks Overlay
+
+The standard VLM-grounding format, full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v22_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v22_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Number elements** — `mark_elements` / `render_marks` / `resolve_mark` (pure + Pillow): assign `1..N` to interactable elements (with centre/role/text), draw numbered red boxes on a screenshot, and map a chosen number back to its element — so a VLM picks a *number* instead of guessing pixels (directly strengthens the existing VLM locator).
+- **Mark-then-click loop** — `mark_screen(render_path=...)` / `mark_click(n)` (`AC_mark_screen` / `AC_mark_click`, `ac_*`): number the live a11y tree (+ optional overlay screenshot), feed marks+image to a model, then click mark `n`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Checkpoint & Resume
+
+Durable execution for long flows + a `py.typed` marker, full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v21_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v21_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Flow checkpoint & resume** — `run_resumable(actions, run_id=..., store=...)` / `CheckpointStore` (`AC_run_resumable` / `AC_checkpoint_status` / `AC_checkpoint_clear`, `ac_*`): persist step-index + variables after each step; on re-run with the same `run_id`, fast-forward past completed steps and rehydrate variables — a flow that crashes at step 400 resumes at 400, not 0. Pluggable (SQLite default), cleared on completion.
+- **`py.typed` marker** — ships the PEP 561 marker so Mypy/Pyright/Pylance honor AutoControl's inline type hints in downstream code (the repo's typed API was previously invisible to type checkers).
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — i18n / l10n Testing
+
+Three pure-stdlib internationalization/localization testing helpers that compound, full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v20_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v20_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Pseudo-localization** — `pseudo_localize` / `pseudo_localize_catalog` (`AC_pseudo_localize`, `ac_pseudo_localize`): accent + pad UI strings (placeholders preserved, `⟦…⟧` wrapped) to flush out hardcoded text and pre-stress layout before real translation.
+- **Text-overflow detection** — `check_overflow(elements)` (`AC_check_overflow`, `ac_check_overflow`): flag text whose estimated width exceeds its widget bounds (the #1 l10n bug), computed from the a11y bounds AutoControl already reads.
+- **Catalog completeness** — `check_catalog(base, target)` (`AC_check_catalog`, `ac_check_catalog`): diff a translation catalog for missing / orphaned / empty keys and placeholder mismatches — a CI gate against blank UI.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Data Quality
+
+Three pure-stdlib data-quality helpers (the gate between `load_rows`/OCR and downstream entry), full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v19_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v19_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Row schema validation** — `validate_rows(rows, schema)` (`AC_validate_rows`, `ac_validate_rows`): declarative per-field rules (type/required/regex/min/max/min_len/max_len/allowed/unique); returns `{ok, valid, invalid, errors}` so bad scraped/OCR data is caught before it corrupts an ERP/form.
+- **Field extraction** — `extract_fields(text, fields, patterns)` (`AC_extract_fields`, `ac_extract_fields`): named regex presets (email/url/ipv4/phone/date_iso/amount/hashtag) + custom patterns over free text / OCR blobs.
+- **Row masking** — `mask_rows(rows, rules)` (`AC_mask_rows`, `ac_mask_rows`): mask columns before export — `redact` / `hash` (SHA-256) / `partial` (keep last 4); complements the screenshot-only redaction.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — SBOM & Suite Sharding
+
+Two pure-stdlib ops tools (security + scale research angles), full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v18_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v18_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **CycloneDX SBOM** — `build_sbom` / `write_sbom` (`AC_generate_sbom`, `ac_generate_sbom`): emit a CycloneDX 1.6 dependency SBOM (name/version/purl/license) for supply-chain compliance (EU CRA / EO 14028); `root` limits to a package's closure, `extra_components` inventories action files. No third-party dependency.
+- **Duration-aware suite sharding** — `shard_flows` / `merge_results` (`AC_shard_suite` / `AC_merge_results`): bin-pack flows into N shards balanced by historical per-flow duration (so the slowest worker, not test count, defines runtime), then merge per-shard reports into one rollup.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Reactive Observer
+
+A non-blocking screen observer (SikuliX `observe` model), full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v17_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v17_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **`ScreenObserver`** (`AC_observe_add` / `AC_observe_remove` / `AC_observe_list` / `AC_observe_poll` / `AC_observe_start` / `AC_observe_stop`, `ac_observe_*`): register watches that fire on **appear** / **vanish** / **change** of an image/text/pixel and run a callback or action list — react to dialogs/progress/status while the main flow continues.
+- **Testable by design** — detection is an injectable `predicate`; transition logic is unit-tested via `poll_once()` with synthetic values. Built-in `image_predicate` / `text_predicate` / `pixel_predicate` wrap the existing locate/OCR/pixel helpers.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — WCAG 2.2 Audit
+
+The accessibility audit gains a WCAG 2.2 / EN 301 549 success-criterion layer, full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v16_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v16_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **WCAG-tagged conformance audit** — `wcag_audit(level="AA")` (`AC_wcag_audit`, `ac_wcag_audit`): tags every defect with its WCAG success-criterion id/level/impact (4.1.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.10) and returns a conformance report with `by_criterion`/`by_impact` counts, filtered to A/AA/AAA — mappable to EN 301 549 for EAA compliance evidence.
+- **Target Size (SC 2.5.8)** — `audit_target_size(elements, min_px=24)`: new WCAG 2.2 rule flagging interactive targets smaller than 24×24 px, computed from element bounds; `tag_issue` adds SC tagging to any existing audit issue.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Memory & Determinism
+
+Two pure-stdlib tools from the agent/QA research round, full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v15_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v15_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Agent episodic memory** — `AgentMemory` (`AC_memory_remember` / `AC_memory_recall` / `AC_memory_recent` / `AC_memory_forget` / `AC_memory_stats`, `ac_memory_*`): SQLite store of `(goal → trajectory → outcome)` episodes with keyword recall to inject past experience into the planner's context — cross-run learning, no embedding dependency.
+- **Deterministic run** — `DeterministicRun` / `seed_everything` (`AC_seed_everything`, `ac_seed_everything`): pin the RNG seed and freeze `time.time` for a `with` block (recording the choices for replay) to kill time/randomness flakiness; `time.monotonic` left intact so timeouts still work.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Office I/O
+
+Headless read/write for Excel/Word/PowerPoint, full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Optional extra: `pip install je_auto_control[office]`. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v14_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v14_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Excel** — `read_workbook` / `write_workbook` (`AC_read_workbook` / `AC_write_workbook`, `ac_read_workbook` / `ac_write_workbook`): read an `.xlsx` worksheet into row dicts (first row = keys) and write rows back, no GUI.
+- **Word** — `read_document` / `write_document` (`AC_read_document` / `AC_write_document`): read/write `.docx` paragraphs.
+- **PowerPoint** — `read_presentation` / `write_presentation` (`AC_read_presentation` / `AC_write_presentation`): read per-slide text; write slides as `{title, body:[...]}`.
+
+The backing libraries (`openpyxl`/`python-docx`/`python-pptx`) are optional — each call raises a clear error if missing, and `import je_auto_control` pulls none of them.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Agent Toolkit
+
+Three pure-stdlib tools for LLM/agent-driven automation, full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v13_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v13_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Skill / playbook library** — `SkillLibrary` (`AC_skill_save` / `AC_skill_run` / `AC_skill_list` / `AC_skill_remove` / `AC_skill_search`, `ac_skill_*`): store named, reusable action sequences on disk, search them by name/description/tags, and replay across runs — the durable counterpart to in-memory macros.
+- **Prompt-injection guardrail** — `assess_text` / `scan_text` / `redact_text` (`AC_guard_text`, `ac_guard_text`): scan untrusted screen/OCR text for injection patterns (instruction-override, system-prompt exfiltration, jailbreak/chat-template markers …) before feeding it to an LLM; returns `{suspicious, score, findings, redacted}`.
+- **A2A agent card** — `build_agent_card` / `write_agent_card` (`AC_agent_card`, `ac_agent_card`): publish an A2A agent card so other agents can discover and call AutoControl as a GUI-automation peer.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Authoring & Debugging
+
+Two pure-stdlib authoring-time tools, full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v12_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v12_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Element repository** — `ElementRepository` (`AC_element_save` / `AC_element_find` / `AC_element_click` / `AC_element_remove` / `AC_element_list`, `ac_element_*`): save native-UI locators under friendly names (object repository) and reuse them — `repo.click("login.submit")` instead of repeating name/role everywhere; a UI change is fixed in one place.
+- **Step debugger / tracer** — `FlowDebugger` (breakpoints, `step`/`continue_`/`run_to_end`, live `variables()`) and `trace_actions` (`AC_debug_trace`, `ac_debug_trace`): step through an action list one command at a time with variables persisting across steps, or get a per-step `{index, command, result}` trace (with `dry_run` to plan without running).
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Test & Tooling Batch
+
+Three pure-stdlib quality-of-life tools, full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder). Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v11_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v11_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Synthetic test data** — `generate_rows(schema, count, seed=...)` / `write_dataset` (`AC_generate_data`, `ac_generate_data`): deterministic fake rows (name/email/phone/int/choice/date…) to drive data-driven runs without real PII; no Faker.
+- **MCP registry manifest** — `write_server_manifest("server.json", include_tools=True)` (`AC_mcp_manifest`, `ac_mcp_manifest`): publish a registry-valid `server.json` so MCP agents/IDEs can discover this server.
+- **Risk-based test selection** — `rank_flows` / `select_flows` (`AC_rank_tests` / `AC_select_tests`): rank flows by recent failures, flakiness, staleness and never-run from run history; run the riskiest first or only the top-k.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Transactional Queue
+
+Turn AutoControl from "run a script" into "run a robot." A SQLite-backed work queue implements the production-RPA dispatcher/performer pattern: enqueue items, process one at a time with per-item status, dedup and retry, so a run of thousands is **resumable after a crash** and parallelizable. Pure stdlib, full stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v10_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v10_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Dispatcher/performer** — `WorkQueue.add()` enqueues (dedupes by reference); `get_next()` atomically claims the oldest item; `complete()` / `fail()` record the outcome. `AC_queue_add` / `AC_queue_next` / `AC_queue_complete` / `AC_queue_fail` / `AC_queue_stats`.
+- **Failure semantics** — application errors retry up to `max_retries`; **business** errors (`BusinessError` / `kind="business"`) never retry. `stats()` gives per-status counts for dashboards.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Unattended Reliability
+
+Three practitioner-pain fixes for unattended / login automation, all headless and full-stack. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v9_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v9_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **OTP / TOTP for 2FA** — `generate_totp` / `verify_totp` (`AC_otp_to_var`, `ac_generate_otp`): mint the current 6-digit code from a base32 secret to type into a login form (reuses the remote-desktop TOTP engine).
+- **Native file dialogs** — `handle_file_dialog` (`AC_handle_file_dialog`): wait for the OS Open/Save/folder dialog, type the path, confirm — in one call, with an injectable driver.
+- **Locked-session guard** — `ensure_interactive_session` / `is_session_locked` (`AC_assert_session_active`): fail clearly when the workstation is locked / disconnected instead of emitting phantom clicks.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Popup Watchdog
+
+The #1 cause of unattended-automation failure is an unexpected dialog the script never coded for (UAC, "session expiring", Windows Update, a modal). The popup watchdog runs a concurrent guard thread that watches for registered patterns and dismisses them independently of the main flow. Surfaced by the practitioner pain-point research as the top unattended failure cause; full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder), fully headless. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v8_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v8_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Auto-dismiss popups** — `default_popup_watchdog.add_window_rule(title, action="close")` then `.start()` (`AC_watchdog_add` / `AC_watchdog_start` / `AC_watchdog_stop` / `AC_watchdog_list`): closes a matching window or presses a key (`enter`/`esc`) when it appears.
+- **Custom rules** — `PopupWatchdog` / `WatchdogRule` pair any detector (image/a11y/text) with a dismisser; a failing rule is logged and skipped, never killing the guard loop.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19) — Native UI Control
+
+Object-level desktop automation: read and drive native controls through the OS accessibility API (by name / role / app / **AutomationId**) instead of clicking pixels or OCR-ing text — far more reliable for native apps. The accessibility layer previously only listed/found/clicked; it now also acts. Ships through the full stack (facade, `AC_*`, MCP, Script Builder) with a Windows UIAutomation backend; unsupported backends raise a clear error. Full reference: [`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v7_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v7_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Read / set value** — `control_get_value` / `control_set_value` (`AC_control_get_value` / `AC_control_set_value`): read a textbox/combo value (no OCR) and set it in one call (no per-key typing).
+- **Invoke / toggle** — `control_invoke` / `control_toggle` (`AC_control_invoke` / `AC_control_toggle`): press a button or flip a checkbox via its control pattern.
+- **Read a table/grid** — `read_control_table` (`AC_read_table`): scrape a grid/list/table control into rows of cell strings — desktop data extraction without OCR.
+- Targets a control by `name` / `role` / `app_name` / `automation_id` (the stable Windows identifier), so it survives layout/localization changes.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-19)
+
+Two headless cores that shipped without the rest of their stack are now
+first-class. Both gain a facade re-export, an `AC_*` executor command, an
+MCP tool, and a Script Builder entry, with headless tests. Full reference:
+[`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v6_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v6_features_doc.rst).
+
+- **Visual regression (golden images)** — `take_golden` / `compare_to_golden` (`AC_take_golden` / `AC_assert_visual`): capture a baseline screenshot and fail when the screen drifts beyond a pixel tolerance, with a highlighted diff image and mask regions. `AC_assert_visual` auto-creates the baseline on first run. PIL-only.
+- **Finite-state machine** — `run_state_machine` (`AC_run_state_machine`): drive a script as a declarative `{initial, states}` spec whose `on_enter` actions run through the executor and whose transitions fire on `after` / `if_var_eq` / predicate guards, bounded by `max_steps` / `global_timeout_s`.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-18)
+
+Eight headless capabilities that round out scripting, integration, and CI
+use: a real command-line interface, recording-to-code generation, and
+first-class HTTP / SQL / email / PDF / wait steps. Each ships a headless
+Python API, an `AC_*` executor command, an MCP tool, and a visual Script
+Builder entry, and is covered by headless tests (network / SMTP / PDF
+backends are injected, so nothing touches the outside world). Full
+reference page:
+[`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v5_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v5_features_doc.rst).
+
+**Command-line interface**
+- **`je_auto_control` console script** — run and inspect action files from a shell / CI: `run` (with `--var`, `--dry-run`), `validate` (alias `lint`), `list-commands`, `fmt`, `record`, `codegen`, `version`.
+
+**Code generation**
+- **Recording → code** — `generate_code` / `generate_code_file` (`AC_generate_code`, `je_auto_control codegen`) turn a recording or action file into a pytest test, standalone Python, or Robot suite. The default `calls` style emits readable `ac.<fn>(...)` statements, falling back to `ac.execute_action([...])` for flow control.
+
+**Integrations**
+- **HTTP / API** — `http_request` (`AC_http_request`): method, headers, JSON or raw body, basic / bearer auth, explicit timeout; non-2xx responses are returned (not raised) so you can assert on status. `AC_http_to_var` now shares the client and can POST bodies.
+- **SQL** — `query_sqlite` (`AC_sql_to_var` / `AC_assert_db`): read-only, parameter-bound SQLite queries into a variable, or a scalar assertion (e.g. `SELECT COUNT(*) ... == 0`).
+- **Email (SMTP)** — `send_email` (`AC_send_email`): stdlib SMTP with TLS on by default (STARTTLS or implicit SSL over a verified context), attachments, and multiple recipients.
+- **PDF** — `extract_pdf_text` / `pdf_metadata` / `assert_pdf_text` (`AC_pdf_to_var` / `AC_assert_pdf_text`): text extraction and content assertions, backed by the optional `pypdf` extra (`pip install je_auto_control[pdf]`).
+
+**Smart waits**
+- **Wait for a file** — `wait_until_file` (`AC_wait_for_file`) blocks until a file exists and its size stops growing (a download finished writing).
+- **Wait for a TCP port** — `wait_until_port` (`AC_wait_for_port`) blocks until `host:port` accepts connections (pairs with `launch_process`).
+- **Wait for a process** — `wait_until_process` (`AC_wait_for_process`) blocks until a process appears or exits — the companion to `launch_process` / `kill_process` (requires psutil).
+
+**Security** — HTTP / SMTP enforce http/https or TLS with verified certificates and explicit timeouts; SQL is read-only and parameter-bound; file paths are resolved before I/O.
+
+## What's new (2026-06-17)
+
+Thirty-plus automation primitives across input realism, vision, flow
+control, triggers, window management, and file security — plus recoverable
+deletion and an editor undo. Each ships with a headless API, an `AC_*`
+executor command, and a visual Script Builder entry; vision and window
+features keep their geometry / IO operations injectable so the logic is
+fully unit-tested. Full reference page:
+[`docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v4_features_doc.rst`](docs/source/Eng/doc/new_features/v4_features_doc.rst).
+
+**Human-like input**
+- **Human-like mouse motion** — `move_mouse_humanized` walks an eased, bowed cubic-Bezier path with optional overshoot + jitter, deterministic by `seed` (`AC_human_move`).
+- **Human-like typing** — `type_text_humanized` types character by character with a jittered per-key delay and optional "thinking" pauses, seedable (`AC_human_type`).
+
+**Vision**
+- **VLM natural-language assertion** — `assert_by_description` asks a vision-language model whether the screen matches a description; the `verify()` companion to `locate_by_description` (`AC_assert_vlm`).
+- **Scroll-to-find** — `scroll_until_visible` scrolls a direction until a template image or OCR text appears, or the budget runs out (`AC_scroll_to_find`).
+- **Region colour stats** — `region_color_stats` reports a region's average + dominant colour and that colour's pixel fraction (`AC_region_color_stats`).
+- **QR reading** — `read_qr_codes` decodes QR codes in a screen region via OpenCV's `QRCodeDetector` (no new dependency) (`AC_read_qr`).
+
+**Flow control & variables**
+- **Reusable macros** — `AC_define_macro` / `AC_call_macro`: define a named, parameterised action sub-routine once and call it with `${arg}` bindings.
+- **In-process parallel** — `AC_parallel` runs branch action lists concurrently, each on an isolated executor so branches never race on shared variables.
+- **Performance-budget assertion** — `assert_duration` / `AC_assert_duration` fails a block that takes longer than a millisecond budget.
+- **Read into a variable** — `AC_ocr_to_var`, `AC_shell_to_var`, `AC_read_file_to_var`, `AC_http_to_var` (body or dotted JSON path), `AC_now_to_var` (strftime), `AC_random_to_var` (seeded int / float / choice).
+- **Transform a variable** — `AC_transform_var`: upper / lower / strip / title / replace / regex-extract / slice, in place or into a new variable.
+- **Assert a variable** — `assert_variable` / `AC_assert_var`: eq / ne / lt / gt / contains / regex through the assertion DSL.
+
+**Triggers & smart waits**
+- **Composite triggers** — `AllOfTrigger` / `AnyOfTrigger` / `SequenceTrigger` combine any existing trigger by boolean AND / OR / ordered sequence.
+- **Cron trigger** — `CronTrigger` fires on a five-field cron expression, composing with the boolean triggers (e.g. "at 09:00 *and* only if the image is on screen").
+- **More smart waits** — `wait_until_clipboard_changes` (`AC_wait_clipboard_change`) and `wait_until_window_closed` (`AC_wait_window_closed`).
+
+**Window management**
+- **Per-window capture** — `capture_window` screenshots exactly a window's bounds by title (`AC_capture_window`).
+- **Layout save / restore** — `save_window_layout` / `restore_window_layout` snapshot every window's position to JSON and move them all back later (`AC_save_window_layout` / `AC_restore_window_layout`).
+- **Snap / tile** — `snap_window` moves a window to a screen half, quarter, or maximize (`AC_snap_window`).
+
+**File security & safety**
+- **Action-file signing** — `sign_action_file` / `verify_action_file` (HMAC-SHA256 sidecar); `execute_files` can require signatures via `JE_AUTOCONTROL_REQUIRE_SIGNED_ACTIONS` (`AC_sign_action_file` / `AC_verify_action_file`).
+- **Action-file encryption** — `encrypt_action_file` / `decrypt_action_file` (Fernet, AES-128-CBC + HMAC) (`AC_encrypt_action_file` / `AC_decrypt_action_file`).
+- **Recoverable deletion** — `move_to_trash` sends a file to the OS recycle bin (Win32 `SHFileOperation` undo flag / macOS Trash / Linux XDG trash, preferring `send2trash`) (`AC_move_to_trash`).
+
+**Reporting & notifications**
+- **Screenshot annotation** — `annotate_screenshot` draws labelled boxes / translucent highlights / arrows / text onto a capture (`AC_annotate_screenshot`).
+- **Desktop notifications** — `notify` shows a cross-platform toast (notify-send / osascript / PowerShell), injection-safe (`AC_notify`).
+
+**GUI**
+- **Recording Editor undo** — every edit is snapshotted; **Ctrl+Z** (and an Undo button) restore the prior state.
+- **Triggers tab** — "Combine selected" wraps chosen triggers into a composite; new **Cron** trigger type.
+- **Assertions tab** — new **VLM** ("screen matches description") assertion kind.
+- Every new `AC_*` command appears in the visual **Script Builder**.
+
+**Fixes** — repaired the USB-passthrough approval-prompt crash on PySide6 6.11.1 (`Q_ARG(object)` → a Qt signal), eight stale / broken GUI + USB tests, two lost exception chains, and brought thirteen functions back under the cyclomatic-complexity gate.

+渲染依数量变化的在地化消息。完整参考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v113_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v113_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **`format_message` / `plural_category` / `ordinal_category`**(`AC_format_message`):`i18n_test.check_catalog` 只比较占位符集合、`interpolate` 只做扁平 `${var}`——两者都无法渲染 `"{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}"`。本功能实作多数应用会用到的 ICU MessageFormat 子集:`select`、`plural`、`selectordinal` 搭配 CLDR 类别、优先于类别的精确 `=N` 选择器、`#` 数量、`offset:`、嵌套与单引号转义。复数规则可注入。纯标准库、确定。

+
+- **`format_list`**(`AC_format_list`):直接 `", ".join` 只会得到「A, B, C」,没有「and/or」也没有在地化。本功能实作 CLDR 列表样式组合,支援连接(and)/选择(or)/单位(unit)样式,并依区域提供连接词与序列逗号规则(`en`/`es`/`fr`/`de`/`pt`)——`format_list(["a","b","c"])` → 「a, b, and c」,`locale="es"` → 「a, b y c」。纯标准库、确定。

+- **`sort_strings` / `collation_compare` / `collation_key`**(`AC_collation_sort`、`AC_collation_compare`):Python 默认的 `sorted` 是码位顺序,因此 `"Z" < "a"`,而 `"ä"` 离 `"a"` 很远。本 Unicode-Collation-lite 键先依基底字母、再依变音符号(次层)、再依大小写(三层)排序,并可用 `tailoring` 字母表让瑞典文将 `å ä ö` 排在 `z` 之后。纯标准库(`unicodedata`)、跨平台确定——不像 `locale.strxfrm`。

+
+- **`DedupWindow`**(`AC_dedup_check`):`work_queue` 只对进行中引用去重,因此已完成的引用会重新入列、重送的 webhook 会重复处理。本滑动窗口收件箱对消息 id 做 `check_and_mark` —— 首次返回 `True`、`ttl_s` 窗口内重复返回 `False` —— 把至少一次投递转换成窗口内恰好一次。可注入时钟、大小有界。纯标准库、确定。

+
+- **`detect_anomalies` / `mad_anomalies` / `zscore_anomalies` / `ewma_control`**(`AC_detect_anomalies`):`data_drift` 是两批次分布偏移,`slo.burn_alerts` 只对预算燃烧设门槛 —— 都无法指出单一序列中*哪个*值异常。本功能以稳健 MAD(modified z-score)、纯 z-score 与 EWMA 控制图(可选 in-control 基准)标记离群值 —— `{index, value, score, is_anomaly}` 记录。纯标准库、确定。

+
+平滑雜訊值序列。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v102_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v102_features_doc.rst)。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-22) — GNU gettext 目錄 I/O(.po / .mo)
+
+讀取/編譯事實標準翻譯格式。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v114_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v114_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **`parse_po` / `read_mo` / `GettextCatalog` / `parse_po_file` / `read_mo_file`**(`AC_gettext_translate`、`AC_gettext_ngettext`):本專案能偽在地化並渲染 ICU 訊息,卻無法讀取 GNU gettext `.po`/`.mo`。本功能解析 `.po`(上下文、複數、以 `gettext.c2py` 處理 `Plural-Forms` 標頭)、編譯可被 Python 內建 `gettext.GNUTranslations` 載入的標準 `.mo`,並提供 `gettext`/`ngettext`/`pgettext`。純標準函式庫、具決定性。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-22) — ICU-lite MessageFormat(複數 / 選擇)
+
+渲染依數量變化的在地化訊息。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v113_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v113_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **`format_message` / `plural_category` / `ordinal_category`**(`AC_format_message`):`i18n_test.check_catalog` 只比較佔位符集合、`interpolate` 只做扁平 `${var}`——兩者都無法渲染 `"{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}"`。本功能實作多數應用會用到的 ICU MessageFormat 子集:`select`、`plural`、`selectordinal` 搭配 CLDR 類別、優先於類別的精確 `=N` 選擇器、`#` 數量、`offset:`、巢狀與單引號跳脫。複數規則可注入。純標準函式庫、具決定性。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-22) — 地區感知清單格式化
+
+依某語言的期望串接項目(「A、B and C」)。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v112_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v112_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **`format_list`**(`AC_format_list`):直接 `", ".join` 只會得到「A, B, C」,沒有「and/or」也沒有在地化。本功能實作 CLDR 清單樣式組合,支援連接(and)/選擇(or)/單位(unit)樣式,並依地區提供連接詞與序列逗號規則(`en`/`es`/`fr`/`de`/`pt`)——`format_list(["a","b","c"])` → 「a, b, and c」,`locale="es"` → 「a, b y c」。純標準函式庫、具決定性。

+
+- **`VersionedStore` / `VersionConflict` / `if_match_header` / `check_if_match`**(`AC_cas_put`、`AC_cas_get`):`http_conditional` 以 ETag 做讀取快取,但從不用於寫入並行。本地 compare-and-swap 儲存僅在 `expected_version` 相符時 `put`(過時寫入拋出 `VersionConflict`)、遞增單調版本,並橋接到 HTTP `If-Match` —— ETag 故事的寫入面。純標準函式庫、具決定性。

+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-22) — 時間視窗去重
+
+在 TTL 視窗內丟棄重複/重送的訊息。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v104_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v104_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **`DedupWindow`**(`AC_dedup_check`):`work_queue` 只對進行中參照去重,因此已完成的參照會重新入列、重送的 webhook 會重複處理。本滑動視窗收件匣對訊息 id 做 `check_and_mark` —— 首次回傳 `True`、`ttl_s` 視窗內重複回傳 `False` —— 把至少一次投遞轉換成視窗內恰好一次。可注入時鐘、大小有界。純標準函式庫、具決定性。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-22) — 冪等鍵儲存
+
+副作用只執行一次,重試時重播其回應。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v103_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v103_features_doc.rst)。
+

+三項純標準庫的生產力工具,走完整五層(facade、`AC_*`、MCP、Script Builder)。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v11_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v11_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **合成測試資料** — `generate_rows(schema, count, seed=...)` / `write_dataset`(`AC_generate_data`、`ac_generate_data`):產生可重現的假資料列(name/email/phone/int/choice/date…),驅動資料驅動執行而不需真實 PII;不需 Faker。
+- **MCP registry 清單** — `write_server_manifest("server.json", include_tools=True)`(`AC_mcp_manifest`、`ac_mcp_manifest`):產生符合 registry 規範的 `server.json`,讓 MCP agent/IDE 能發現此伺服器。
+- **風險導向測試選擇** — `rank_flows` / `select_flows`(`AC_rank_tests` / `AC_select_tests`):依最近失敗、不穩定、陳舊與從未跑過,從 run history 排序流程;先跑最高風險或只跑前 k 個。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-19) — 交易式工作佇列
+
+把 AutoControl 從「跑腳本」升級成「跑機器人」。以 SQLite 為底的工作佇列實作生產級 RPA dispatcher/performer:入列項目、一次處理一項、具每項狀態/去重/重試,使上千項執行能**當機後續跑**且可平行化。純標準庫、走完整五層。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v10_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v10_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **Dispatcher/performer** — `WorkQueue.add()` 入列(依 reference 去重);`get_next()` 原子認領最舊項;`complete()` / `fail()` 記錄結果。`AC_queue_add` / `AC_queue_next` / `AC_queue_complete` / `AC_queue_fail` / `AC_queue_stats`。
+- **失敗語意** — application 錯誤重試至 `max_retries`;**business** 錯誤(`BusinessError` / `kind="business"`)永不重試。`stats()` 給各狀態計數供儀表板。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-19) — 無人值守可靠性
+
+三個無人值守/登入自動化的社群痛點修復,皆 headless 且走完整五層。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v9_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v9_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **2FA 的 OTP / TOTP** — `generate_totp` / `verify_totp`(`AC_otp_to_var`、`ac_generate_otp`):從 base32 secret 產生當下 6 碼,填進登入表單(重用遠端桌面 TOTP 引擎)。
+- **原生檔案對話框** — `handle_file_dialog`(`AC_handle_file_dialog`):等 OS 開啟/儲存/資料夾對話框、輸入路徑、確認,一次完成,driver 可注入。
+- **鎖定工作階段守衛** — `ensure_interactive_session` / `is_session_locked`(`AC_assert_session_active`):工作站鎖定/斷線時清楚失敗,而非送出幽靈點擊。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-19) — 彈窗看門狗
+
+無人值守自動化失敗的第一大主因,是腳本沒寫到的未預期對話框(UAC、「工作階段過期」、Windows Update、modal)。彈窗看門狗以並行守衛執行緒監看註冊 pattern,獨立於主流程把它們關掉。由社群痛點研究指出為無人值守頭號失敗主因;走完整五層(facade、`AC_*`、MCP、Script Builder),完全 headless。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v8_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v8_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **自動關閉彈窗** — `default_popup_watchdog.add_window_rule(title, action="close")` 後 `.start()`(`AC_watchdog_add` / `AC_watchdog_start` / `AC_watchdog_stop` / `AC_watchdog_list`):視窗出現時關閉它或按鍵(`enter`/`esc`)。
+- **自訂規則** — `PopupWatchdog` / `WatchdogRule` 把任意偵測器(圖/a11y/文字)配對關閉器;壞規則只記錄並略過,絕不讓守衛迴圈停擺。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-19) — 原生 UI 控制
+
+物件級桌面自動化:透過 OS 無障礙 API(以 name / role / app / **AutomationId** 定位)讀取與操作原生控制項,而非點像素或 OCR——對原生 app 可靠得多。無障礙層先前只能 list/find/click,現在還能操作。走完整五層(facade、`AC_*`、MCP、Script Builder),提供 Windows UIAutomation 後端;不支援的後端會拋清楚錯誤。完整參考:[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v7_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v7_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **讀取 / 設定值** — `control_get_value` / `control_set_value`(`AC_control_get_value` / `AC_control_set_value`):讀 textbox/combo 值(不用 OCR),一次設定值(不必逐鍵輸入)。
+- **呼叫 / 切換** — `control_invoke` / `control_toggle`(`AC_control_invoke` / `AC_control_toggle`):透過控制模式按按鈕或切換核取方塊。
+- **讀取表格/清單** — `read_control_table`(`AC_read_table`):把 grid/list/table 控制項抓成逐列儲存格字串——不用 OCR 的桌面資料擷取。
+- 以 `name` / `role` / `app_name` / `automation_id`(Windows 穩定識別碼)定位,版面/在地化改變也不壞。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-19)
+
+兩個早已存在、卻沒接上其餘各層的 headless 核心,現在成為一級功能。兩者都新增 facade re-export、`AC_*` 執行器指令、MCP 工具與 Script Builder 項目,並有 headless 測試。完整參考:
+[`docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v6_features_doc.rst`](../docs/source/Zh/doc/new_features/v6_features_doc.rst)。
+
+- **視覺回歸(黃金影像)** — `take_golden` / `compare_to_golden`(`AC_take_golden` / `AC_assert_visual`):擷取基準截圖,畫面偏離超過像素容差時判失敗,並輸出標示差異圖與遮罩區域。`AC_assert_visual` 首跑會自動建立基準。純 PIL。
+- **有限狀態機** — `run_state_machine`(`AC_run_state_machine`):把腳本當成宣告式 `{initial, states}` spec 驅動,`on_enter` 動作經執行器執行,transition 依 `after` / `if_var_eq` / predicate 觸發,並以 `max_steps` / `global_timeout_s` 限制。
+
+## 本次更新 (2026-06-18)
+

+Near-Duplicate Text Detection (SimHash / MinHash)
+=================================================
+
+``fuzzy.fuzzy_dedupe`` is O(n²) pairwise ``SequenceMatcher`` with no stable
+fingerprint, and ``image_dedup`` only hashes pixels. This adds text
+fingerprints — SimHash (Hamming-distance near-dup) and MinHash (estimated
+Jaccard) — that scale and give a reusable signature, the text analog of the
+perceptual image hash.
+
+Pure standard library (``hashlib`` / ``re``); imports no ``PySide6``. A fixed
+hash (``blake2b``, not the salted built-in ``hash()``) keeps fingerprints
+deterministic across runs and CI.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        simhash, near_duplicates, minhash_signature, minhash_similarity,

+
+    h1 = simhash("the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
+    h2 = simhash("the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs")
+    # small Hamming distance ⇒ near-duplicate
+
+    clusters = near_duplicates(docs, max_distance=12)   # groups of indices
+
+    sig_a = minhash_signature(text_a)
+    minhash_similarity(sig_a, minhash_signature(text_b))  # ~ Jaccard
+
+``simhash`` returns a ``bits``-wide fingerprint from word shingles;
+``hamming_distance`` (shared with ``image_dedup``) measures bit difference.
+``near_duplicates`` clusters texts whose SimHashes are within ``max_distance``
+bits, returning a partition of indices (singletons included).
+``minhash_signature`` / ``minhash_similarity`` give a MinHash signature and a
+Jaccard estimate for set-overlap style dedup. Run ``normalize_text`` first for
+accent/form-insensitive fingerprints.
+

+Single-Series Anomaly Detection
+===============================
+
+``data_drift`` answers "did the *distribution* shift between two batches" — it
+cannot point at *which* value in one live series is anomalous — and
+``slo.burn_alerts`` only thresholds error-budget burn, not arbitrary metric
+values (latency spikes, cost spikes, CPU). This flags outliers in a single
+series via z-score, robust MAD (modified z-score), and an EWMA control chart.
+
+Pure standard library (``math`` / ``statistics``); imports no ``PySide6``. Every
+function is pure (values in, flags out), so it is fully deterministic in CI.

+
+    ewma_control(values, alpha=0.5, target_mean=10, target_sigma=1)  # shift indices
+
+``detect_anomalies`` scores each value (``mad`` default, or ``zscore``) and flags
+those past the threshold (3.5 for MAD, 3.0 for z-score). ``mad_anomalies`` /
+``zscore_anomalies`` return just the flagged indices, and ``mad_scores`` /
+``zscore_scores`` the raw scores. MAD (Iglewicz-Hoaglin modified z-score) is
+robust to outliers inflating the spread, so it stays sensitive where a plain
+z-score would not. ``ewma_control`` is an EWMA control chart for sustained
+level shifts — pass ``target_mean`` / ``target_sigma`` for an in-control
+baseline (else the series' own stats).

+Idempotency-Key Store

+

+Locale-Aware String Collation
+=============================
+
+``text_normalize`` canonicalises text and ``locale_parse`` formats numbers, but
+nothing sorts strings the way a reader of a given language expects. Python's
+default ``sorted`` is codepoint order, so ``"Z" < "a"`` and ``"ä"`` lands far
+from ``"a"``. A real collation orders by *base letter* first, then *accent*,
+then *case*, and lets a locale tailor the alphabet (Swedish sorts ``å ä ö`` after
+``z``).
+
+This builds a Unicode-Collation-lite sort key with three levels — primary (base
+letter), secondary (diacritics), tertiary (case) — plus an optional alphabet
+``tailoring``. Pure standard library (``unicodedata``); imports no ``PySide6``.
+Every function is pure, so it is fully deterministic across platforms (unlike
+``locale.strxfrm``, which depends on the host's installed locales).

+    sort_strings(rows, key=lambda r: r["name"])  # sort dicts by a field
+
+``strength`` (``primary`` / ``secondary`` / ``tertiary``) caps the levels
+compared, so ``strength="primary"`` is accent- and case-insensitive.
+``tailoring`` is an ordered alphabet whose characters sort in the given order and
+before any unlisted character; a precomposed letter such as ``"å"`` keeps its
+alphabet rank instead of decomposing to ``a`` + diaeresis. ``collation_key``
+returns the raw comparable tuple for use as a ``sorted`` key.

+Confusable / Homoglyph Detection
+================================
+
+``secrets_scan`` finds secret-shaped tokens and ``guardrail`` screens text for
+prompt injection, but nothing catches *visual* spoofing: a Cyrillic ``"а"``
+(U+0430) is pixel-for-pixel a Latin ``"a"`` (U+0061), so ``"pаypal"`` (with a
+Cyrillic ``а``) reads as ``"paypal"`` to a human yet compares unequal — the basis
+of IDN-homograph phishing and lookalike UI labels.
+
+Following the idea of Unicode TR39, this folds confusable characters to a
+prototype *skeleton* (two strings are confusable when their skeletons match) and
+flags strings that mix scripts. Pure standard library (``unicodedata``); imports
+no ``PySide6``. Every function is pure, so it is fully deterministic in CI.

+dispatcher/performer pattern: a *dispatcher* enqueues work items, and a
+*performer* processes them one at a time with per-item status, dedup and
+retry — so a run of thousands of items is **resumable after a crash** and
+parallelizable across workers.
+
+Pure standard library, fully headless, wired through the full stack
+(facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands, MCP tools, Script Builder). Surfaced
+by the competitor research as the missing piece vs UiPath Orchestrator
+queues / REFramework.

+Dispatcher / performer
+======================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import WorkQueue
+
+    q = WorkQueue("run.db", name="invoices")
+
+    # Dispatcher: enqueue work (dedupes on a live reference).
+    for inv in invoices:
+        q.add({"path": inv}, reference=inv)
+
+    # Performer: drain the queue, resumable across restarts.
+    item = q.get_next()
+    while item is not None:
+        try:
+            process(item.data)
+            q.complete(item.id, output={"ok": True})
+        except BusinessError as exc:           # bad data — don't retry
+            q.fail(item.id, str(exc), kind="business")
+        except Exception as exc:               # transient — retry
+            q.fail(item.id, str(exc), kind="application")
+        item = q.get_next()
+
+``get_next`` atomically claims the oldest ``new`` item (marking it
+``in_progress``) so multiple performers don't double-process.
+
+
+Failure semantics
+=================
+
+Two failure kinds, mirroring REFramework:
+
+* **application** (transient — a timeout, a stale element): the item is
+  retried up to ``max_retries`` (default 3), then marked ``failed``.
+* **business** (the data itself is invalid): never retried — marked
+  ``failed`` immediately. Raise :class:`BusinessError` or pass
+  ``kind="business"``.
+
+``stats()`` returns per-status counts (``new`` / ``in_progress`` /
+``success`` / ``failed``) for dashboards and run reports.
+
+
+Executor commands
+=================
+
+* ``AC_queue_add`` — enqueue ``data`` (dedup by ``reference``).
+* ``AC_queue_next`` — claim the next item (or null when drained).
+* ``AC_queue_complete`` — mark an item successful.
+* ``AC_queue_fail`` — fail with ``kind`` (``application`` / ``business``).
+* ``AC_queue_stats`` — per-status counts.
+
+The same ``db`` file + ``name`` identify a queue, so a dispatcher script
+and a performer script (or many parallel performers) share it.

+Readability Scoring
+===================
+
+The text utilities canonicalise (``text_normalize``), match (``text_similarity``,
+``fuzzy``) and rank (``search_index``) text, but nothing scores *how hard it is
+to read*. There was no way to assert that an on-screen message, a generated label
+or a doc string stays within a target reading grade. This adds the classic
+English readability formulae over a deterministic tokeniser and syllable
+heuristic.
+
+Pure standard library (``re`` / ``math``); imports no ``PySide6``. Every function
+is pure (text in, number/report out), so it is fully deterministic in CI.

+``flesch_reading_ease`` is higher-is-easier (~0-100 for normal prose); the others

+Bidirectional-Text QA (Trojan-Source Scan)
+==========================================
+
+``confusables`` catches lookalike *characters*, but invisible Unicode
+*directional formatting* is a separate hazard. The embeddings/overrides
+(LRE/RLE/LRO/RLO/PDF), isolates (LRI/RLI/FSI/PDI) and marks (LRM/RLM/ALM) can
+silently reorder how text renders. That is both an RTL localisation-QA gap and
+the basis of the "Trojan Source" attack (CVE-2021-42574), where override controls
+make source read differently than it runs.
+
+This reports the bidi controls in a string, checks that embeddings/isolates are
+balanced, infers the base direction, and flags Trojan-source-style formatting.
+Pure standard library (``unicodedata``); imports no ``PySide6``. Every function is
+pure, so it is fully deterministic in CI.

+
+``bidi_controls`` lists every control as ``{index, char, name}``. ``is_bidi_balanced``
+checks that PDF closes an embedding/override and PDI closes an isolate, properly
+nested. ``base_direction`` returns ``LTR`` / ``RTL`` / ``NEUTRAL`` from the first

+Locale-Aware List Formatting
+============================
+
+``locale_parse`` formats numbers and dates, but joining a list of items the way a
+language expects — the conjunction word, whether there is a serial/Oxford comma,
+the two-item special case — is its own small problem. A naive ``", ".join`` gives
+``"A, B, C"`` with no "and"/"or" and no localisation.
+
+This implements the CLDR list-pattern composition (start/middle/end plus a
+two-item pattern) for a handful of locales and the conjunction / disjunction /
+unit styles. Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``. Every function is
+pure, so it is fully deterministic in CI.

+
+``style`` is ``"and"`` (conjunction), ``"or"`` (disjunction) or ``"unit"``
+(comma-separated, no conjunction). ``locale`` selects the conjunction word and
+the serial-comma rule (``en`` / ``es`` / ``fr`` / ``de`` / ``pt``; English uses
+the Oxford comma, the others do not; an unknown locale falls back to English).
+One and two element lists, and the empty list, are handled as special cases.

+GNU gettext Catalog I/O (.po / .mo)
+===================================
+
+The repo has ``i18n_test`` (pseudo-localisation, catalog placeholder checks) and
+``message_format`` (ICU rendering) but no reader for the *de-facto* translation
+format — GNU gettext ``.po`` / ``.mo``. This parses ``.po`` text (contexts,
+plurals, multi-line strings, escapes, the ``Plural-Forms`` header), compiles the
+binary ``.mo`` (the same little-endian format Python's own ``gettext`` reads) and
+exposes ``gettext`` / ``ngettext`` / ``pgettext`` lookups.
+
+Pure standard library (``re`` / ``struct`` / ``gettext.c2py`` for the plural
+expression); imports no ``PySide6``. Parsing and compilation are pure data
+in / data out, so they are fully deterministic in CI.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import parse_po, read_mo, GettextCatalog
+
+    catalog = parse_po(po_text)
+    catalog.gettext("Hello")                 # 'Hola'
+    catalog.ngettext("file", "files", 3)     # 'archivos'

+
+    # build one by hand
+    cat = GettextCatalog()
+    cat.add("apple", ["pomme", "pommes"], plural_id="apples")
+
+``gettext`` returns the translation (or the source ``msgid`` when untranslated);
+``ngettext`` evaluates the catalog's ``Plural-Forms`` expression (via
+``gettext.c2py``) to pick the right form for ``n``; ``pgettext`` adds a
+disambiguation context. ``to_mo_bytes`` / ``compile_mo`` emit a standards-
+compliant ``.mo`` that Python's own ``gettext.GNUTranslations`` can load, and
+``read_mo`` / ``read_mo_file`` parse one back (little- or big-endian).

+Executor commands

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Test & Tooling Batch
+==================================================
+
+Three quality-of-life tools, all pure standard library and wired through

+Builder): seeded synthetic test data, an MCP registry ``server.json``
+generator, and risk-based test selection.

+
+
+Synthetic test data
+===================
+
+Generate deterministic fake rows from a tiny field schema — to drive
+data-driven runs without shipping real PII. No Faker dependency; the same
+``seed`` always yields the same rows::
+
+    from je_auto_control import generate_rows, write_dataset
+
+    rows = generate_rows({
+        "name": "name",
+        "email": {"type": "email", "domain": "acme.test"},
+        "age": {"type": "int", "min": 18, "max": 65},
+        "status": {"type": "choice", "choices": ["new", "vip"]},
+    }, count=100, seed=7)
+
+    write_dataset(rows, "people.csv")   # or .json
+
+Supported field types: ``first_name``, ``last_name``, ``name``,
+``username``, ``email``, ``phone``, ``city``, ``company``, ``word``,
+``sentence``, ``uuid``, ``bool``, ``int`` (min/max), ``float``
+(min/max/ndigits), ``choice`` (choices), ``date`` (start/end).
+
+The ``AC_generate_data`` command writes a file (then feed it to
+``AC_load_data``) or returns the rows inline.
+
+
+MCP registry manifest
+====================
+
+Publish a ``server.json`` describing this AutoControl MCP server so
+MCP-aware agents and IDEs can discover and install it. The manifest is
+built from live package metadata, so it never drifts::
+
+    from je_auto_control import write_server_manifest
+
+    write_server_manifest("server.json", include_tools=True)
+
+``include_tools`` embeds the live tool list under ``_meta`` (without
+touching the registry-valid core fields). Also exposed as
+``AC_mcp_manifest`` and the ``ac_mcp_manifest`` MCP tool.
+
+
+Risk-based test selection
+========================
+
+Instead of always running the whole suite, rank flows by how *risky* they
+are — recently failing, flaky, stale, or never-run — using the run-history
+store, then run the riskiest first (or only the top-k)::
+
+    from je_auto_control import select_flows, rank_flows
+
+    ranked = rank_flows(["login", "checkout", "report"])
+    risky = select_flows(["login", "checkout", "report"], k=2)
+
+The score is ``0.5*failure_rate + 0.2*last_failed + 0.2*flakiness +
+0.1*staleness``; a never-run flow scores ``0.8`` (untested is risky).
+Exposed as ``AC_rank_tests`` / ``AC_select_tests`` and the
+``ac_rank_tests`` / ``ac_select_tests`` MCP tools.

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Authoring & Debugging
+====================================================
+
+Two authoring-time tools, pure standard library and wired through the
+full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands, MCP tools, Script
+Builder): a native-UI **element repository** (object repository) and a
+**step debugger / tracer** for action lists.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Element repository
+=================
+
+Save native-UI locators under friendly names once, reuse them everywhere
+— the classic RPA *object repository*. A flow references
+``"login.submit"`` instead of repeating ``name="Submit", role="button"``
+at every call site, and a UI change is fixed in one place::
+
+    from je_auto_control import ElementRepository
+
+    repo = ElementRepository("app.objects.json")
+    repo.save("login.submit", name="Submit", role="button")
+    repo.save("login.user", role="edit", app_name="MyApp")
+
+    repo.click("login.submit")          # resolve + click the live element
+    info = repo.find_info("login.user")  # {found, name, role, center}
+
+A locator is a small set of accessibility filters (``name`` / ``role`` /
+``app_name``); resolving finds the live element through the accessibility
+backend. Storage is a JSON file and works on any platform; resolution
+needs a platform accessibility backend.
+
+Executor / MCP commands: ``AC_element_save`` / ``AC_element_find`` /
+``AC_element_click`` / ``AC_element_remove`` / ``AC_element_list`` (and
+the matching ``ac_element_*`` MCP tools).
+
+
+Step debugger and tracer
+=======================
+
+Run an action list one command at a time with breakpoints, single-step,
+and live variable inspection. Stepping reuses one executor instance, so
+script variables (``${name}`` interpolation, ``AC_set_var`` …) persist
+across steps exactly as in a normal run::
+
+    from je_auto_control import FlowDebugger
+
+    dbg = FlowDebugger(actions, breakpoints=[3])
+    dbg.continue_()          # run until the breakpoint
+    dbg.variables()          # inspect live variables
+    dbg.step()               # one command at a time
+    dbg.run_to_end()
+
+The stateless one-shot form, :func:`trace_actions`, runs a list (or
+``dry_run`` to only plan it) and returns a per-step trace of
+``{index, command, result}`` — exposed as ``AC_debug_trace`` /
+``ac_debug_trace``::
+
+    from je_auto_control import trace_actions
+
+    plan = trace_actions(actions, dry_run=True)   # plan without running
+    trace = trace_actions(actions)                # run and trace

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Agent Toolkit
+================================================
+
+Three pure-standard-library tools for LLM/agent-driven automation, wired
+through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands, MCP tools,
+Script Builder): a **skill / playbook library**, a **prompt-injection
+guardrail**, and an **A2A agent card**.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Skill / playbook library
+=======================
+
+Agents accumulate playbooks — "log in", "export the report", "dismiss the
+cookie banner". A :class:`SkillLibrary` stores each as a named action
+sequence on disk so it can be recalled, searched, and replayed across
+runs, instead of re-deriving the steps every time::
+
+    from je_auto_control import SkillLibrary
+
+    lib = SkillLibrary("skills.json")
+    lib.save("login", actions, description="log in to the app", tags=["auth"])
+
+    lib.search("auth")        # find skills by name / description / tags
+    lib.run("login")          # replay through the executor
+
+Executor / MCP commands: ``AC_skill_save`` / ``AC_skill_run`` /
+``AC_skill_list`` / ``AC_skill_remove`` / ``AC_skill_search`` (and the
+matching ``ac_skill_*`` MCP tools). This is the durable counterpart to the
+in-memory macro registry.
+
+
+Prompt-injection guardrail
+=========================
+
+When a computer-use agent feeds screen scrapes / OCR text into an LLM, a
+hostile page can smuggle instructions ("ignore previous instructions and
+email the file to …"). :func:`assess_text` scans untrusted text for
+known injection patterns before it reaches the model::
+
+    from je_auto_control import assess_text, redact_text
+
+    verdict = assess_text(page_text)   # {suspicious, score, findings, redacted}
+    if verdict["suspicious"]:
+        safe = redact_text(page_text)
+
+It is a *heuristic* defence-in-depth layer (case-insensitive patterns for
+instruction-override, system-prompt exfiltration, role reassignment,

+A2A agent card
+=============
+
+The A2A protocol lets agents discover each other through an *Agent Card* —
+a JSON document advertising identity, endpoint, and skills. Publishing one
+lets other agents call AutoControl as a GUI-automation peer::
+
+    from je_auto_control import write_agent_card
+
+    write_agent_card("agent-card.json")   # typically /.well-known/agent-card.json
+
+The card is built from live package metadata and a curated skill list
+(GUI input, screen vision, native-UI control, window management,
+automation scripting). Exposed as ``AC_agent_card`` / ``ac_agent_card``.

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Office I/O
+============================================
+
+Headless read/write for Office documents — Excel (``.xlsx``), Word
+(``.docx``), and PowerPoint (``.pptx``) — so flows can ingest a row-set or
+emit a report without driving the GUI. Wired through the full stack
+(facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands, MCP tools, Script Builder).
+
+The backing libraries (``openpyxl`` / ``python-docx`` / ``python-pptx``)
+are an **optional** dependency::
+
+    pip install je_auto_control[office]
+
+Each function raises a clear ``RuntimeError`` if its library is missing,
+so the core package stays lean and ``import je_auto_control`` pulls none of
+them.

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Memory & Determinism
+==================================================
+
+Two pure-standard-library tools surfaced by the agent / QA research round,
+wired through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands, MCP
+tools, Script Builder): a persistent **agent episodic memory** store and a
+**deterministic run** harness.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Agent episodic memory
+====================
+
+An agent that re-derives "how do I log in to this app" every run wastes
+tokens and repeats mistakes. :class:`AgentMemory` records each episode —
+the goal, the trajectory (steps / tool-calls), and the outcome — to a
+SQLite file, and recalls the most relevant past episodes by keyword so they
+can be injected into the planner's context::
+
+    from je_auto_control import AgentMemory
+
+    mem = AgentMemory("agent.memory.db")
+    mem.remember("log in to the billing portal",
+                 steps=recorded_actions, outcome="success", tags=["auth"])
+
+    for episode in mem.recall("portal login", limit=3):
+        ...   # feed episode.goal / episode.steps back to the planner
+
+Recall scores each episode by term frequency over its goal + tags +
+outcome (a dependency-free BM25 stand-in); a vector tier can be added later
+without changing the API. Commands: ``AC_memory_remember`` /
+``AC_memory_recall`` / ``AC_memory_recent`` / ``AC_memory_forget`` /
+``AC_memory_stats`` (and the matching ``ac_memory_*`` MCP tools).
+
+
+Deterministic run
+================
+
+Time and randomness are two of the top causes of flaky automation.
+:class:`DeterministicRun` pins both for a ``with`` block and records the
+choices so a run can be reproduced exactly::
+
+    from je_auto_control import DeterministicRun
+
+    with DeterministicRun(seed=42, freeze_time=1_750_000_000.0) as run:
+        ...                      # random.* reproducible; time.time() frozen
+    manifest = run.manifest()    # {"seed": 42, "freeze_time": 1750000000.0}
+
+Scope (pure standard library — no ``freezegun`` dependency): it seeds the
+global :mod:`random` generator (and numpy if present) and restores its
+state on exit, and patches ``time.time`` / ``time.time_ns`` to a fixed
+instant. ``time.monotonic`` is deliberately left alone so duration
+measurements and timeouts keep working.
+
+``seed_everything(seed)`` is the standalone seeding helper, also exposed as
+``AC_seed_everything`` / ``ac_seed_everything`` for run-wide reproducibility
+from a flow.

+New Features (2026-06-19) — WCAG 2.2 Audit Engine
+==================================================
+
+The accessibility audit gains a **WCAG 2.2 / EN 301 549 success-criterion
+layer**: each defect is tagged with the WCAG criterion it violates (id +
+name + conformance level + impact), and a new WCAG 2.2 rule — **Target
+Size (Minimum), SC 2.5.8** — is computed from element bounds. The result is
+a conformance-style report you can map to EN 301 549 for accessibility
+compliance evidence (the European Accessibility Act is enforceable since
+June 2025). Pure standard library; wired through the full stack.

+Conformance audit

+    report["findings"]        # each tagged {sc, criterion, level, impact, ...}
+
+Findings are filtered to the requested conformance ``level`` (``A`` /
+``AA`` / ``AAA``). Mapped success criteria:
+
+* **1.1.1 / 4.1.2** — interactive element with no accessible name.
+* **1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)** — foreground/background below the ratio.
+* **1.4.10 Reflow** — clipped / truncated text.
+* **2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)** — *new in 2.2*: pointer targets smaller
+  than 24x24 px.
+
+
+Target Size rule
+===============
+
+``audit_target_size(elements, min_px=24)`` flags interactive elements whose
+bounds are smaller than ``min_px`` on either side (elements with unknown
+size are skipped). ``tag_issue(issue)`` annotates any base ``AuditIssue``
+with its success criterion, so existing audits gain SC tagging too.
+
+Exposed as ``AC_wcag_audit`` / ``ac_wcag_audit`` (and ``wcag_audit`` /
+``audit_target_size`` on the package facade).

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Reactive Observer
+==================================================
+
+A non-blocking **screen observer**: register watches on a region/predicate
+and get a callback (or run an action list) when the watched thing
+**appears**, **vanishes**, or **changes**. This is the complement to the
+blocking ``wait_for_*`` helpers — a flow can react to dialogs, progress, or
+status changes *while doing other work* (the SikuliX ``observe`` model).
+
+Pure standard library; wired through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*``
+executor commands, MCP tools, Script Builder).

+Python API
+=========
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import ScreenObserver, image_predicate, EVENT_APPEAR
+
+    obs = ScreenObserver(poll_interval_s=0.5)
+    obs.add("error-dialog",
+            image_predicate("error.png", threshold=0.9),
+            on_event=lambda event, value: dismiss(),

+    obs.start()                 # background polling thread
+    ...
+    obs.stop()
+
+Detection is decoupled from the screen: a watch's ``predicate`` just
+returns the current value (truthy = present), so transition logic is
+unit-tested with synthetic values via ``poll_once()``. Built-in predicate
+builders — :func:`image_predicate`, :func:`text_predicate`,
+:func:`pixel_predicate` — wrap the existing locate / OCR / pixel helpers.
+
+Transitions: ``appear`` (absent -> present), ``vanish`` (present ->
+absent), ``change`` (present, value differs). Subscribe to a subset via
+``events=``.
+
+
+Executor / MCP commands
+======================
+
+* ``AC_observe_add`` — watch ``kind`` (``image`` / ``text`` / ``pixel``)
+  for ``event`` and run ``actions`` when it fires (the watchdog pattern,
+  generalised to screen content).
+* ``AC_observe_remove`` / ``AC_observe_list`` — manage watches.
+* ``AC_observe_poll`` — evaluate every watch once and return fired events
+  (deterministic, thread-free — ideal in scripts/tests).
+* ``AC_observe_start`` / ``AC_observe_stop`` — background poll thread.
+
+The matching ``ac_observe_*`` MCP tools expose the same surface.

+New Features (2026-06-19) — SBOM & Suite Sharding
+==================================================
+
+Two pure-standard-library ops tools from the security and scale research
+angles, wired through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands,
+MCP tools, Script Builder): a **CycloneDX SBOM generator** and a
+**duration-aware suite sharder** (with shard-result merge).
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+CycloneDX SBOM
+=============
+
+Supply-chain regulation (EU Cyber Resilience Act, US EO 14028) increasingly
+requires a machine-readable Software Bill of Materials. ``build_sbom`` walks
+the installed Python distributions and emits a **CycloneDX 1.6** JSON
+document — no third-party dependency::
+
+    from je_auto_control import build_sbom, write_sbom
+
+    sbom = build_sbom("je_auto_control")        # dependency closure of the pkg
+    sbom = build_sbom(None)                      # every installed distribution
+    write_sbom("sbom.cdx.json", "je_auto_control",

+                                  "version": "1"}])
+
+Each component carries ``name`` / ``version`` / ``purl`` (``pkg:pypi/...``)
+and, when available, its license. ``extra_components`` lets you inventory
+action files alongside code. Exposed as ``AC_generate_sbom`` /
+``ac_generate_sbom``.
+
+
+Duration-aware suite sharding
+============================
+
+Splitting a suite across N workers by *count* wastes time when tests differ
+in duration — the slowest worker defines wall-clock. ``shard_flows`` balances
+shards by **historical per-flow duration** from the run-history store using
+greedy bin-packing::
+
+    from je_auto_control import shard_flows, merge_results
+
+    shards = shard_flows(all_flows, shards=4)    # ~equal time per shard
+    # ... each worker runs its shard, produces a report ...
+    report = merge_results([shard_report_1, shard_report_2, ...])
+
+Flows with no history fall back to the mean of known flows (so new tests
+spread evenly). ``merge_results`` recombines per-shard report dicts — summing
+``total`` / ``passed`` / ``failed`` / ``skipped`` / ``errors`` and
+concatenating ``results``. Exposed as ``AC_shard_suite`` / ``AC_merge_results``
+(and ``ac_shard_suite`` / ``ac_merge_results``).

+Placeholders (``{name}`` / ``{{x}}`` / ``%s`` / ``%d``) are preserved
+verbatim; ``expansion`` controls the padding fraction; the ``⟦…⟧`` brackets
+make truncation visible. Exposed as ``AC_pseudo_localize`` /

+Text-overflow detection

+Flow checkpoint & resume
+=======================
+
+A multi-hour unattended flow that dies at step 400 should not restart from
+zero. :func:`run_resumable` persists ``{run_id, step_index, variables}``
+after each executed step to a pluggable store; on a later run with the same
+``run_id`` it fast-forwards past completed steps and rehydrates the script
+variables::
+
+    from je_auto_control import run_resumable, CheckpointStore
+
+    store = CheckpointStore("runs.db")
+    result = run_resumable(actions, run_id="nightly-invoices", store=store)
+    result["resumed_from"]   # 0 on a fresh run, N when resuming after a crash
+
+On normal completion the checkpoint is cleared. The store is injectable, so
+resume is unit-tested deterministically without a real crash:
+``CheckpointStore.save`` / ``load`` / ``clear``.
+
+Executor / MCP commands:
+
+* ``AC_run_resumable`` — run ``actions`` with checkpoint/resume keyed by
+  ``run_id`` (persisted to ``db``).
+* ``AC_checkpoint_status`` — the saved checkpoint for a run (or null).
+* ``AC_checkpoint_clear`` — delete a run's checkpoint.

+(and the matching ``ac_run_resumable`` / ``ac_checkpoint_status`` /

+``py.typed`` marker
+==================
+
+The package now ships a PEP 561 ``py.typed`` marker, so Mypy / Pyright /
+Pylance honor AutoControl's inline type annotations in downstream code —
+completing the value of the typed public API. No code change for callers;
+just better editor autocompletion and type checking out of the box.

+
+Modern GUI agents ground far more reliably when shown a screenshot with
+**numbered boxes** over the interactable elements plus an ``id -> bbox``
+legend ("Set-of-Marks" prompting): the model picks a *number* instead of
+guessing pixel coordinates. This turns AutoControl's existing element
+sources into that two-stage "mark then pick a number" loop and resolves the

+    annotated_png = render_marks(screenshot_png_bytes, marks)
+    chosen = resolve_mark(marks, 3)   # the element the model picked
+
+``mark_elements`` assigns ``1..N`` to every element with a valid bounds and

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Semantic Screen State
+==================================================
+
+The *semantic* companion to the existing pixel (visual-regression) diff:
+snapshot the accessibility tree, diff two snapshots into what **appeared /
+vanished / moved**, and get a compact structured **description** of the
+screen. This is the feedback signal an agent needs to verify a step's
+effect and orient itself. Pure standard library; full stack.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Snapshot & diff
+==============
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import snapshot, diff_snapshots, snapshot_screen, screen_changed
+
+    before = snapshot_screen()      # baseline from the live a11y tree
+    ...                              # perform a step
+    delta = screen_changed()         # diff vs the baseline
+    delta["summary"]                 # ["appeared: window Save", "moved: button OK"]
+
+``snapshot`` normalizes elements to ``[{role, name, bbox}]`` (identity =
+``(role, name)``); ``diff_snapshots(before, after)`` returns ``added`` /
+``removed`` / ``moved`` lists plus a human-readable ``summary`` and
+``changed_count``. ``snapshot_screen`` / ``screen_changed`` capture and diff
+the *live* tree (caching the baseline). Exposed as ``AC_screen_snapshot`` /
+``AC_screen_diff`` / ``AC_screen_changed``.
+

+Describe the screen
+==================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import describe_screen
+
+    describe_screen()    # {app, element_count, by_role: {...}, controls: [...]}
+
+A cheap "where am I" for an agent: counts per role and the labels of the
+interactive controls. Exposed as ``AC_describe_screen`` /
+``ac_describe_screen`` (and ``ac_screen_*`` for the diff family).

+CircuitBreaker

+hammering a downed dependency.
+

+Maker-Checker Approval Gate
+===========================
+
+Some automation steps are too consequential to fire on one party's say-so —
+deleting production data, wiring money, promoting a release. ``ApprovalGate``
+adds a **segregation of duties** control: a *maker* files a request and gets a
+token; a *checker*, who must be a **different** principal, approves or rejects
+it; the action proceeds only once the token is approved.
+
+State is an optional JSON file, so the maker (e.g. a CI dispatcher) and the
+checker (e.g. a human approver) can run as separate processes. The module is
+pure standard library and imports no ``PySide6``; tokens use :mod:`secrets`.
+
+Headless API

+
+.. code-block:: python

+    # Self-approval is refused — the checker must differ from the maker.

+    gate.approve(token, "bob")      # -> True
+
+    if gate.is_approved(token):
+        run_high_risk_action()
+
+``reject(token, approver)`` blocks an action; a request that has already been
+decided cannot be re-decided. ``status(token)`` returns
+``pending`` / ``approved`` / ``rejected`` (or ``None`` for an unknown token),
+``get(token)`` returns the full record, and ``pending()`` lists every request
+still awaiting a decision.

+Just-In-Time Credential Leases
+==============================
+
+Long-lived secrets handed to automation are a standing liability. ``CredentialBroker``
+applies **zero standing privilege**: a consumer takes a short-lived *lease* — a
+token bound to a secret name with an expiry — and the real value is fetched only
+at :meth:`redeem` time, only while the lease is valid, through a pluggable
+*resolver* (an unlocked ``SecretManager``'s ``get``, an environment lookup, a
+vault client). Expired or revoked leases yield nothing.
+
+Secret values never enter executor/MCP records: the executor and MCP surfaces
+manage the lease *lifecycle* only. :meth:`redeem`, which returns the real value,
+is a deliberate **Python-API-only** escape hatch for code that must handle the
+secret. The module is pure standard library and imports no ``PySide6``; the
+clock and resolver are injectable, so expiry is deterministically testable.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import CredentialBroker
+
+    broker = CredentialBroker(resolver=secret_manager.get)   # resolver(name)->value
+    token = broker.lease("db_password", ttl=120)             # token, not the value

+        connect(password)
+
+    broker.revoke(token)                     # or let it expire after ttl seconds
+
+``active()`` lists non-expired leases as ``{token, name, ttl_remaining}`` with no
+values. A module-level :data:`default_broker` backs the executor/MCP commands;
+configure its resolver once with ``set_secret_resolver(fn)``.

+Network Egress Allowlist Guard
+==============================
+
+Unattended automation that can reach arbitrary hosts is an exfiltration risk.
+``EgressPolicy`` lets an operator pin which hosts the headless HTTP client may
+talk to. It is consulted by every
+:func:`~je_auto_control.utils.http_client.http_client.http_request` call (and
+therefore by ``AC_http`` and every feature built on it), so locking egress down
+covers the whole framework at once.
+
+The policy supports an **allow** list (default-deny — only matching hosts pass)
+and/or a **deny** list (block these even when otherwise allowed). Patterns are
+case-insensitive :mod:`fnmatch` globs over the URL hostname, e.g.
+``*.example.com`` or ``localhost``. The module-level policy starts in
+*allow-all* mode, so there is **no behavior change** until an operator locks it
+down. Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``.

+Modes: ``allow=None`` is allow-all; ``allow=[]`` denies everything;
+``deny=[...]`` alone blocks just those hosts. ``allow`` / ``deny`` each accept a
+list or a single comma-separated string. ``get_egress_policy().is_allowed(url)``
+checks a URL without raising; ``EgressPolicy(allow=..., deny=...)`` builds an

+Approval Testing (Golden-Master Baselines)
+==========================================
+
+Approval testing (a.k.a. golden-master / snapshot testing) reframes "is this
+output still correct?" as "does it still match the version a human approved?".
+:func:`verify_artifact` compares produced content to a stored
+``<name>.approved.<ext>`` baseline:
+
+* **match** → the check passes;
+* **mismatch or missing baseline** → the produced bytes are written to
+  ``<name>.received.<ext>`` and the check fails, so a reviewer can diff the two
+  and, if the change is intended, promote it with :func:`approve_artifact`.
+
+It works for *any* artifact — rendered text, JSON, OCR output, screenshot bytes
+— so it complements pixel diffing with a review-gated baseline you commit
+alongside the test. Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``. Names are
+validated against path traversal.

+Agent Trajectory Evaluation
+===========================
+
+As automations hand control to LLM agents, "did it still work?" becomes "did
+the agent take an acceptable path?". :func:`evaluate_trajectory` scores a
+recorded run against a declarative **rubric**, giving a deterministic,
+dependency-free signal for agent regression testing.
+
+A *trajectory* is the ordered list of steps a run took — each a dict with at
+least an ``"action"`` name and optionally ``"args"`` / ``"observation"``. The
+*rubric* is plain data (so it lives happily in a JSON action file or arrives
+over MCP):
+
+================================ ===================================================
+Rubric key                       Meaning
+================================ ===================================================
+``required_actions``             Actions that must all appear.
+``ordered``                      With the above, also require that relative order.
+``forbidden_actions``            Actions that must never appear.
+``max_steps``                    Upper bound on trajectory length.
+``success_contains``             Substring that must appear in some observation.
+================================ ===================================================

+
+``score`` is the fraction of applicable checks that passed; ``passed`` is true

+Agent Observability (GenAI OpenTelemetry Spans)
+===============================================
+
+When automation drives an LLM agent, you want the same observability an
+OpenTelemetry backend gives a service: per-operation spans carrying token usage,
+model, and status. ``AgentTrace`` records spans whose attributes follow the
+OpenTelemetry **GenAI semantic conventions** — ``gen_ai.operation.name``,
+``gen_ai.system``, ``gen_ai.request.model``, ``gen_ai.usage.input_tokens`` /
+``gen_ai.usage.output_tokens``, ``gen_ai.tool.name`` — and the convention span
+name ``"{operation} {model}"``. :meth:`AgentTrace.to_otel` output drops straight
+into an OTLP exporter, while :meth:`AgentTrace.summary` rolls up cost and latency
+for a run.
+
+It pairs with :doc:`trajectory evaluation <v36_features_doc>` — record the run
+here, score it there. Pure standard library (no ``opentelemetry`` dependency);
+the clock is injectable so durations are deterministically testable. Imports no
+``PySide6``.

+Exact string comparison is brittle when text comes from OCR or shifting UI copy.

+S3-Compatible Artifact Store
+============================
+
+Reports, screenshots, and screen recordings produced by a run are usually worth

+
+``boto3`` is an **optional** dependency (``pip install je_auto_control[s3]``):
+the S3 client is *injectable*, so the store's logic is fully unit-testable with a
+fake client and ``boto3`` is imported only when no client is supplied. The whole
+API is relative to the store's configured ``prefix`` — ``upload`` returns a
+store-relative key that ``download`` / ``delete`` / ``url`` accept unchanged, and
+``list`` strips the prefix back off. Imports no ``PySide6``.

+Perceptual-Hash Image Dedupe
+============================
+
+A screen recording or a step report often contains many nearly identical frames.
+Perceptual hashes (average-hash and difference-hash) map visually similar images
+to numerically close fingerprints, so frames can be clustered by Hamming distance
+and collapsed — keeping one representative per distinct view.
+
+The hashing functions use **Pillow** (already a core dependency — no extra
+package required); the dedupe/compare logic is pure Python and the ``hasher`` is
+injectable, so clustering is unit-testable without any image. Imports no
+``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        average_hash, dhash, hamming_distance, images_similar, dedupe_images)
+
+    h1 = average_hash("frame1.png")          # hex fingerprint
+    h2 = average_hash("frame2.png")
+    hamming_distance(h1, h2)                  # bits that differ
+    images_similar(h1, h2, max_distance=5)   # within tolerance?
+
+    dedupe_images(["a.png", "b.png", "c.png"], max_distance=5)
+    # -> keeps one image per near-duplicate cluster (first wins)
+
+``average_hash`` compares each pixel to the mean brightness; ``dhash`` compares
+each pixel to its right neighbour (more robust to gamma shifts). ``dedupe_images``
+accepts a ``hasher`` hook (defaulting to ``average_hash``) so the clustering can
+be tested with precomputed hashes.

+Locale-Aware Number, Currency & Date Parsing
+============================================
+
+Text scraped from a localized UI or OCR rarely matches Python's ``float()``:
+``"1.234,56"`` is twelve-hundred in ``de_DE`` but malformed to ``float``. These
+helpers parse such strings — and format values back — using **Babel**'s CLDR
+data, so flows can read and assert on numbers, currency, and dates across
+locales.
+
+``babel`` is an **optional** dependency (``pip install je_auto_control[locale]``)
+imported lazily, so the package stays importable without it; the functions raise
+a clear error only when called without Babel. Imports no ``PySide6``.

+round-trip within a locale.

+Voice-Command Router
+====================
+
+``VoiceRouter`` maps spoken trigger *phrases* to ``AC_*`` action lists: feed it
+the text of a recognized utterance and it runs the closest registered command —
+hands-free triggering of automation flows. Phrase matching reuses the project's
+fuzzy matcher, so "save the file" still fires a ``"save file"`` command despite
+recogniser noise.
+
+Speech-to-text is intentionally **out of scope and injectable**: the router takes
+already-recognised *text*. A real microphone/Vosk recogniser is supplied as a
+``recognizer`` callable to :meth:`VoiceRouter.listen_once`, which keeps the
+routing logic fully unit-testable without audio or any speech dependency. Imports
+no ``PySide6``.

+Coordinate-Space Mapping (Model Grid ⇄ Physical Pixels)

+display size you declared. ``CoordinateSpace`` captures the physical resolution
+and the model's grid and converts both ways, so an agent loop can feed the model

+Stuck-Loop Guard (Agent Loop Progress Detection)
+================================================
+
+The dominant computer-use failure mode is an agent burning its budget repeating
+an action that has no effect — and the model usually can't see its own loop, so
+it must be caught **mechanically** from outside, by watching the stream of
+``(tool, args, result)`` triples. ``LoopGuard`` flags three patterns:
+
+- ``repeat`` — the same ``(tool, args)`` fired many times in a row;
+- ``ping_pong`` — two actions alternating A-B-A-B with no progress;
+- ``no_op`` — the observation (a screenshot/state digest) never changes.
+
+It complements a step/time budget (which can't tell a productive loop from a
+stuck one) and the offline trajectory evaluator. Pure standard library
+(``collections`` + ``hashlib``), deterministic; imports no ``PySide6``.

+New Features (2026-06-17) — Automation Toolkit
+===============================================
+
+Thirty-plus automation primitives spanning input realism, vision, flow
+control, triggers, window management, and file security — plus
+recoverable (recycle-bin) deletion and a Recording-Editor undo. Every
+feature ships with a headless Python API, an ``AC_*`` executor command,
+and a visual Script Builder entry. Vision and window features keep their
+geometry / IO operations injectable, so the logic is fully unit-tested
+without a real screen or window.
+

+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Human-like input
+================
+
+Move the cursor and type the way a person would — useful for demos,
+realistic automation, and apps that watch for robotic timing. The path
+and delay generators are pure and deterministic given a ``seed``::
+
+    from je_auto_control import move_mouse_humanized, type_text_humanized
+
+    # Curved, eased Bezier path with overshoot + jitter.
+    move_mouse_humanized(800, 400, duration_s=0.5,
+                         motion=None, seed=None)
+
+    # Character-by-character typing with a jittered per-key delay.

+
+Executor commands: ``AC_human_move``, ``AC_human_type``.
+
+
+Vision
+======
+
+* **VLM natural-language assertion** — ``assert_by_description("a green
+  success toast")`` asks a vision-language model whether the screen
+  matches a description (the ``verify()`` companion to
+  ``locate_by_description``). ``AC_assert_vlm``.
+* **Scroll-to-find** — ``scroll_until_visible(target, kind="image",
+  direction="down", max_scrolls=10)`` scrolls until a template image or
+  OCR text appears, returning ``{found, coords, scrolls}``.
+  ``AC_scroll_to_find``.
+* **Region colour stats** — ``region_color_stats(source, region)`` returns
+  a region's ``average_rgb``, ``dominant_rgb``, and that colour's pixel
+  fraction (quantise colour space → busiest bucket → average its real
+  pixels). ``AC_region_color_stats``.
+* **QR reading** — ``read_qr_codes(source, region)`` decodes QR codes via
+  OpenCV's ``QRCodeDetector`` (no new dependency). ``AC_read_qr``.
+
+
+Flow control & variables
+========================
+
+* **Reusable macros** — ``AC_define_macro`` registers a named,
+  parameterised action sub-routine; ``AC_call_macro`` invokes it with
+  ``${arg}`` bindings — the callable function the loop / if primitives
+  couldn't express.
+* **In-process parallel** — ``AC_parallel`` runs branch action lists
+  concurrently, each on a fresh isolated executor so branches never race
+  on shared variables (the in-process complement to the cross-host DAG).
+* **Performance-budget assertion** — ``assert_duration(action, max_ms)``
+  / ``AC_assert_duration`` fails a block that takes longer than the
+  budget — a latency-regression guard bridging the profiler and the
+  assertion DSL.
+* **Read into a variable** — bind external data into the flow scope for
+  later ``${var}`` use: ``AC_ocr_to_var`` (region text), ``AC_shell_to_var``
+  (command stdout), ``AC_read_file_to_var`` (file text), ``AC_http_to_var``
+  (GET body or a dotted JSON path), ``AC_now_to_var`` (strftime), and
+  ``AC_random_to_var`` (seeded int / float / choice).
+* **Transform a variable** — ``AC_transform_var`` applies upper / lower /
+  strip / title / replace / regex-extract / slice, in place or into a new
+  variable — pairs with the read-into-a-variable commands to clean raw
+  text before use.
+* **Assert a variable** — ``assert_variable(value, op, expected)`` /
+  ``AC_assert_var`` fails when a variable doesn't satisfy
+  eq / ne / lt / gt / contains / regex (the assertion-DSL companion to the
+  branching ``if_var``).
+
+
+Triggers & smart waits
+======================
+
+* **Composite triggers** — ``AllOfTrigger`` / ``AnyOfTrigger`` /
+  ``SequenceTrigger`` combine any existing trigger by boolean AND, OR, or
+  ordered sequence; the children reuse each trigger's ``is_fired()`` so
+  any type nests freely.
+* **Cron trigger** — ``CronTrigger("0 9 * * *")`` fires on a five-field
+  cron expression, at most once per matching minute, and composes with
+  the boolean triggers (e.g. *at 09:00 and only if the image is visible*).
+* **More smart waits** — ``wait_until_clipboard_changes`` (changed / equals
+  / contains, ``AC_wait_clipboard_change``) and ``wait_until_window_closed``
+  (``AC_wait_window_closed``) round out the screen / pixel / region waits.
+
+
+Window management
+=================
+
+* **Per-window capture** — ``capture_window(title, output_path)``
+  resolves a window's geometry by title (Win32 ``GetWindowRect``) and
+  screenshots exactly its bounds. ``AC_capture_window``.
+* **Layout save / restore** — ``save_window_layout(path)`` snapshots every
+  window's position to JSON; ``restore_window_layout(path)`` moves them all
+  back (handy for test setup / teardown). ``AC_save_window_layout`` /
+  ``AC_restore_window_layout``.
+* **Snap / tile** — ``snap_window(title, "left")`` moves a window to a
+  screen half (left / right / top / bottom), a quarter (the four corners),
+  or ``"max"``. ``AC_snap_window``.
+
+
+File security & safety
+======================
+
+* **Action-file signing** — ``sign_action_file`` writes an HMAC-SHA256
+  ``.sig`` sidecar; ``verify_action_file`` checks it in constant time.
+  ``execute_files`` enforces signatures when
+  ``JE_AUTOCONTROL_REQUIRE_SIGNED_ACTIONS`` is set (opt-in).
+  ``AC_sign_action_file`` / ``AC_verify_action_file``.
+* **Action-file encryption** — ``encrypt_action_file`` /
+  ``decrypt_action_file`` keep a script's contents secret at rest with
+  Fernet (AES-128-CBC + HMAC), keyed by a passphrase or a per-user 0600
+  key. ``AC_encrypt_action_file`` / ``AC_decrypt_action_file``.
+* **Recoverable deletion** — ``move_to_trash(path)`` sends a file to the OS
+  recycle bin (Win32 ``SHFileOperation`` undo flag / macOS Trash / Linux
+  XDG trash, preferring ``send2trash``) so a "deleted" file can be
+  restored. ``AC_move_to_trash``.
+
+
+Reporting & notifications
+=========================
+
+* **Screenshot annotation** — ``annotate_screenshot(source, annotations,
+  output_path)`` draws labelled boxes, translucent highlights, arrows, and
+  text onto a capture (the marking complement to redaction's blurring).
+  ``AC_annotate_screenshot``.
+* **Desktop notifications** — ``notify(title, message)`` shows a
+  cross-platform toast (``notify-send`` / ``osascript`` / PowerShell);
+  injection-safe (Linux argv, macOS / Windows a static script reading the
+  strings from environment variables). ``AC_notify``.
+
+
+GUI
+===
+
+* **Recording Editor undo** — every edit (remove step, trim, rescale,
+  adjust delays, filter) is snapshotted onto an undo stack; **Ctrl+Z** and
+  an Undo button restore the prior state.
+* **Triggers tab** — *Combine selected* wraps chosen triggers into an
+  AllOf / AnyOf / Sequence composite; a new **Cron** trigger type.
+* **Assertions tab** — a new **VLM** ("screen matches description")
+  assertion kind.
+* Every new ``AC_*`` command is buildable in the visual **Script Builder**.

+Multi-Channel Webhook Notifications
+===================================
+
+The built-in ``notify`` is desktop-toast only, and ChatOps shipped Slack as the
+only transport — but unattended runs want to alert Microsoft Teams, Discord, or a
+generic incoming webhook too. Each is a simple JSON POST with a transport-shaped
+payload (Slack and a Teams MessageCard use ``text``, Discord uses ``content``);
+``notify_webhook`` builds the right body and POSTs it through the egress-guarded
+HTTP client.
+
+The transport is injectable (a ``poster`` callable or a module-level default),
+so sending is unit-testable with no network. Pure standard library; imports no
+``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import notify_webhook, WebhookChannel
+
+    notify_webhook("https://hooks.slack.com/...", "Run finished", transport="slack")
+    notify_webhook("https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...", "Build broke",
+                   transport="discord", title="CI")
+    notify_webhook("https://prod.webhook.office.com/...", "Deploy done",
+                   transport="teams", title="Release")
+
+    chan = WebhookChannel("https://hooks.example.com/x", transport="raw")
+    result = chan.send("hello")          # -> WebhookResult(ok, status, transport)
+
+``transport`` is ``slack`` / ``discord`` / ``teams`` / ``raw``; the result's
+``ok`` reflects a 2xx status. Pass a ``poster(url, payload) -> status`` to
+``WebhookChannel`` / ``notify_webhook`` (or install one with
+``set_default_poster``) to route through a custom transport or a test fake.
+
+Executor command
+----------------
+
+``AC_notify_webhook`` takes ``url``, ``text`` (+ optional ``transport`` /
+``title``) and returns ``{ok, status, transport}``. The same operation is exposed
+as the MCP tool ``ac_notify_webhook`` and as a Script Builder command under
+**Tools**.

+JSONPath Querying
+=================
+
+The executor's built-in path walker only splits on ``.`` and indexes — it can't
+do wildcards, recursive descent, or filters, so API/DB responses with arrays are
+awkward to extract from. ``json_query`` adds a focused JSONPath subset over

+``*`` ``[*]``    wildcard (all members / elements)
+``..``           recursive descent
+``[?(@.k op v)]`` filter array elements (``op`` ∈ ``== != < <= > >=``)

+
+``json_query`` returns **all** matches (a list); ``json_query_one`` returns the

+Saga / Compensating Rollback
+============================
+
+Some automations span several irreversible-looking steps — create a record, send
+an email, move a file. If a later step fails, the already-completed steps should
+be **undone**, but the executor's ``AC_try`` only does try/catch/finally for one
+block; nothing tracked "what to undo" across N completed steps. A ``Saga``
+records a compensating action per step and, on any failure, runs the
+compensations for the completed steps in **LIFO** order.
+
+Forward actions and compensations are plain callables (or, via the executor, JSON
+action lists), so the orchestration is fully unit-testable with no real side
+effects. Compensation is best-effort: a failing compensation is logged and the
+rollback continues. Imports no ``PySide6``.

+``run()`` returns a ``SagaResult`` (``ok`` / ``completed`` / ``compensated`` /

+compensation are simply skipped during rollback.
+

+DMN-Style Decision Tables

+Each cell condition is a wildcard (``None`` / ``"-"`` / ``"*"``), a literal
+(equality), or ``{"op": "ge", "value": 18}`` using the project's standard

+Self-Healing Locator Write-Back
+===============================

+The self-healing locator finds an element at a new place at runtime and logs the

+This adds the missing consumer: validate an in-memory value against a JSON

+
+``validate_json`` returns a ``SchemaValidationResult`` (``ok`` plus an

+Dependency Vulnerability Scanning (OSV)
+=======================================
+
+``build_sbom`` *inventories* dependencies and ``to_sarif`` *exports* findings,
+but nothing in between ever **produced** a vulnerability finding — there was no
+advisory matching at all. This closes that loop: given the SBOM's
+``(ecosystem, name, version)`` components and an `OSV <https://osv.dev>`_
+advisory database, ``scan_components`` reports which packages are affected, and
+``findings_to_sarif`` bridges the results straight into the existing SARIF
+exporter for GitHub / Azure DevOps code scanning.
+
+The advisory database is **injected as plain data** (a list of OSV records), so
+matching is fully offline and deterministic; the live ``osv.dev`` query is a
+separate, optional ``fetcher`` seam. Pure standard library (``re``); imports no
+``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        build_sbom, scan_components, findings_to_sarif, write_sarif)
+
+    advisories = [{
+        "id": "GHSA-foo", "summary": "RCE in foo",

+                tool_name="AutoControl-VulnScan")
+
+``is_affected(version, osv_range)`` evaluates one OSV range by sweeping its
+``introduced`` / ``fixed`` / ``last_affected`` events; ``match_package`` checks
+a single package against the database (explicit ``versions`` **or** ranges);
+``scan_components`` runs the whole SBOM. Package names are compared with PEP-503
+normalization, and the OSV severity word (``CRITICAL`` / ``HIGH`` /
+``MODERATE`` / ``LOW``) maps to a SARIF ``error`` / ``warning`` / ``note``
+level (defaulting to ``warning``).
+
+Version ordering is a pragmatic numeric comparison: release components compare
+as integers and a pre-release suffix (``1.2.0-rc1``) sorts before the final
+release. Git ranges and full CVSS-vector scoring are out of scope.
+
+Live advisories (optional)
+--------------------------
+
+Pass a ``fetcher`` callable to pull advisories at scan time (e.g. from the
+``osv.dev`` API). Tests inject a fake fetcher, so the matching logic is verified
+without any network:
+
+.. code-block:: python

+``AC_scan_vulns`` takes ``components`` (a component list, a full SBOM dict, or a
+JSON string) and ``advisories`` (a list or JSON string), with an optional
+``sarif_path`` to write a SARIF report; it returns ``{findings, count}`` (plus
+``sarif_path`` when written). The same operation is exposed as the MCP tool
+``ac_scan_vulns`` and as a Script Builder command under **Security**.

+OpenVEX Vulnerability Triage
+============================
+
+``scan_components`` (the OSV matcher) produces vulnerability findings, but every
+known CVE then shows up on every run forever — there was no way to record "we
+looked, this one does not affect us" and drop it. VEX (Vulnerability
+Exploitability eXchange) is the standard for exactly that triage signal. This
+authors `OpenVEX <https://openvex.dev>`_ 0.2.0 statements and applies them to
+the scanner's findings.
+
+``not_affected`` / ``fixed`` statements **suppress** a finding; ``affected`` /
+``under_investigation`` **annotate** it with the assessed status. Statements
+join to findings on the vulnerability id *or* any of its aliases, optionally
+scoped to a product. Pure standard library (``hashlib`` + ``json`` +
+``datetime``); imports no ``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        scan_components, vex_statement, build_vex, apply_vex)

+
+    triaged = apply_vex(findings, vex)
+    # CVE-2024-1 (not_affected) dropped; GHSA-bar kept with vex_status set
+
+``vex_statement`` validates the inputs: ``status`` must be one of
+``VEX_STATUSES`` (``not_affected`` / ``affected`` / ``fixed`` /
+``under_investigation``); a ``not_affected`` statement must carry a
+``justification`` (one of ``VEX_JUSTIFICATIONS``) or an ``impact_statement``.
+``build_vex`` wraps statements in an OpenVEX document (pass an explicit
+``timestamp`` for a reproducible ``@id``). ``apply_vex`` returns the surviving
+findings, each non-suppressed match annotated with ``vex_status``.
+
+Executor command

+
+``AC_apply_vex`` takes ``findings`` and a ``vex`` document (each a list/object

+================================================
+New Features (2026-06-18) — CLI & Integrations
+================================================
+
+Eight headless capabilities that round out scripting, integration, and
+continuous-integration use: a real command-line interface,
+recording-to-code generation, and first-class HTTP / SQL / email / PDF /
+wait steps. Every feature ships a headless Python API, an ``AC_*``
+executor command, an MCP tool, and a visual Script Builder entry, and is
+covered by headless tests — the network, SMTP, and PDF backends are
+injected, so nothing touches the outside world.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Command-line interface
+======================
+
+The package now installs a ``je_auto_control`` console script for running
+and inspecting action files from a shell or CI pipeline::
+
+    je_auto_control run script.json --var user=alice --dry-run
+    je_auto_control validate script.json      # alias: lint
+    je_auto_control list-commands --filter mouse --json
+    je_auto_control fmt script.json --check
+    je_auto_control record out.json --duration 5
+    je_auto_control codegen script.json --target pytest -o test_flow.py
+    je_auto_control version
+
+``run`` executes (``--dry-run`` validates and lists steps without acting),
+``validate`` / ``lint`` checks structure and rejects unknown commands,
+``fmt`` canonicalises the JSON, ``record`` captures input, ``codegen``
+emits source (below), and ``list-commands`` prints the live executor
+catalogue.
+
+
+Code generation
+===============
+
+Turn a recording or an action file into committable, runnable source::
+
+    from je_auto_control import generate_code, generate_code_file
+
+    code = generate_code(actions, target="pytest", style="calls")
+    generate_code_file("flow.json", "test_flow.py", target="pytest")
+
+``target`` is ``pytest`` / ``python`` / ``robot``. The default ``calls``
+style maps each ``AC_*`` command to its facade call
+(``ac.click_mouse(...)``) and falls back to ``ac.execute_action([...])``
+for flow control and private adapters; the ``actions`` style embeds the
+list and replays it through the executor.
+
+Executor command: ``AC_generate_code``. CLI: ``je_auto_control codegen``.
+
+
+HTTP / API
+==========
+
+A dependency-free HTTP(S) client for hybrid UI + API flows::
+
+    from je_auto_control import http_request
+
+    resp = http_request(
+        "https://api.example/items", method="POST",
+        json_body={"name": "Sam"},
+        headers={"X-Trace": "1"},
+        auth={"type": "bearer", "token": "..."},
+        timeout=30.0)
+    assert resp["status"] == 201
+
+Returns ``{status, ok, headers, text, json, url}``; non-2xx responses are
+returned rather than raised, so you can assert on the status code. Only
+``http`` / ``https`` schemes are allowed. ``AC_http_to_var`` now shares
+the same client, so it can POST bodies and send headers / auth.
+
+Executor command: ``AC_http_request``.
+
+
+SQL
+===
+
+Read-only, parameter-bound SQLite queries::
+
+    from je_auto_control import query_sqlite
+
+    rows = query_sqlite("app.db", "SELECT id, name FROM users")
+    count = query_sqlite("app.db",
+                         "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE active = ?",
+                         params=[1], fetch="scalar")
+
+Queries are restricted to a single read-only ``SELECT`` / ``WITH``
+statement, run over a read-only connection, with values always bound as
+parameters (never string-interpolated).
+
+Executor commands: ``AC_sql_to_var`` (rows / one row / scalar into a
+variable) and ``AC_assert_db`` (a scalar query asserted with
+eq / ne / lt / gt / contains / ...).
+
+
+Email (SMTP)
+============
+
+Send mail — for example a flow's report — over the standard library::
+
+    from je_auto_control import send_email
+
+    send_email(
+        {"sender": "bot@x.com", "to": ["qa@x.com"],
+         "subject": "Run passed", "body": "All green",
+         "attachments": ["report.html"]},
+        {"host": "smtp.x.com", "port": 587,
+         "username": "bot@x.com", "password": "..."})
+
+TLS is enabled by default (STARTTLS, or implicit SSL when ``use_ssl`` is
+set) over a verified default context; supports multiple recipients, CC,
+HTML bodies, and file attachments.
+
+Executor command: ``AC_send_email``.
+
+
+PDF
+===
+
+Extract text from and assert on PDF documents (optional ``pypdf``
+backend — ``pip install je_auto_control[pdf]``)::
+
+    from je_auto_control import extract_pdf_text, assert_pdf_text
+
+    text = extract_pdf_text("invoice.pdf", pages=1)
+    assert_pdf_text("invoice.pdf", "Total: $50.00")
+
+Executor commands: ``AC_pdf_to_var`` (text into a variable) and
+``AC_assert_pdf_text`` (text present / absent, optionally on a page).
+
+
+Smart waits
+===========
+
+Two waits that replace unreliable ``sleep`` calls::
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        wait_until_file, wait_until_port, wait_until_process)
+
+    wait_until_file("~/Downloads/report.pdf", stable_for_s=1.0)
+    wait_until_port("127.0.0.1", 8080, timeout_s=30.0)
+    wait_until_process("myserver", present=True, timeout_s=30.0)
+
+``wait_until_file`` returns once a file exists, is at least ``min_size``
+bytes, and its size has held steady for ``stable_for_s`` (a download has
+finished). ``wait_until_port`` returns once a TCP connection to
+``host:port`` succeeds — the companion to launching a server. ``wait_until_process``
+returns once a process whose name contains the target appears (or, with
+``present=False``, exits) — the companion to ``launch_process`` /
+``kill_process`` (requires psutil). All return a ``WaitOutcome`` and honour
+a hard ``timeout_s`` cap.
+
+Executor commands: ``AC_wait_for_file``, ``AC_wait_for_port``,
+``AC_wait_for_process``.
+
+
+Security
+========
+
+HTTP and SMTP enforce ``http`` / ``https`` or TLS with verified
+certificates and explicit timeouts; SQL is read-only and parameter-bound;
+all user-supplied file paths are resolved with ``realpath`` before I/O.

+License Policy Gate
+===================
+
+``build_sbom`` records each component's license *name*, but nothing ever judged
+it — a copyleft or otherwise-disallowed license could ship unnoticed. This adds
+the policy gate: normalize the SBOM's license strings to SPDX ids, evaluate them
+against an allowlist / denylist (with a built-in strong-copyleft set), and emit
+violations that bridge into the existing SARIF exporter — the license-compliance
+lane beside the OSV vulnerability lane.
+
+Pure standard library (``re``); fully offline; imports no ``PySide6``.

+``normalize_spdx`` maps loose names (``"MIT License"`` → ``MIT``, ``"Apache

+``denied`` / ``unknown``: ``deny`` takes precedence; an empty ``allow`` means
+"not constrained"; a missing license is ``unknown``. SPDX **expressions** are
+understood — ``"MIT OR GPL-3.0-only"`` is a *choice* (allowed if any operand is
+allowed), while ``"MIT AND GPL-3.0-only"`` requires every operand. Each
+violation is ``{name, version, license, status}``; ``denied`` maps to a SARIF
+``error`` and ``unknown`` to a ``warning``.

+JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
+=====================
+
+RPA flows constantly need to mint or verify bearer tokens for the APIs they
+drive, but the framework only had HMAC *file* signing (``action_signing``) and
+an ACME-bound RS256 JWS (``acme_v2``) — neither produces or validates a compact
+bearer JWT. This adds a focused, pure-stdlib JWT codec for the HMAC family with
+full claim validation, designed to feed straight into ``http_request``'s bearer
+auth.
+
+Pure standard library (``hmac`` + ``hashlib`` + ``base64`` + ``json``); the
+clock is injectable so ``exp`` / ``nbf`` checks are deterministic. Imports no
+``PySide6``.
+
+Security
+--------
+
+The decoder is safe by default:
+
+* it **rejects ``alg: "none"``** and any algorithm the caller did not
+  explicitly allow-list, defeating the classic algorithm-confusion / downgrade
+  attack;
+* it compares signatures with ``hmac.compare_digest`` (constant time);
+* RSA/EC algorithms (RS256/ES256) are intentionally **out of scope** — they

+Client-Side Rate Limiting
+=========================
+
+The framework had ``RetryPolicy`` / ``CircuitBreaker`` (which *recover* from
+failures) and a FIFO ``work_queue``, but nothing to shape the *rate* of calls —
+so a flow hammering an external API had no way to stay under a quota. This adds
+the two standard limiters plus a leading-edge throttle, all with an injectable
+clock so they are deterministic in tests (no real sleeping).
+
+* :class:`TokenBucket` — a smooth rate with burst capacity (lazy refill).
+* :class:`SlidingWindowLimiter` — a fixed call budget per rolling window
+  (Cloudflare's O(1) weighted-counter approximation).
+* :func:`throttle` — a decorator that fires a function at most once per interval.
+
+Pure standard library (``threading`` for the lock, ``time`` only as the default
+clock); imports no ``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API

+JSON Pointer, Patch & Merge Patch
+=================================
+
+``jsonpath`` queries are read-only and ``approval`` compares whole artifacts by
+equality, but nothing could address a single location, compute a structured
+*delta*, or apply a partial update to a JSON document. This adds the three IETF
+primitives that fill that gap:
+
+* **RFC 6901 JSON Pointer** — address one location (``/a/b/0``).
+* **RFC 6902 JSON Patch** — an ordered op list
+  (add/remove/replace/move/copy/test); plus ``make_patch`` to diff two docs.
+* **RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch** — a recursive merge where ``null`` deletes.
+
+Useful for config-drift detection, partial updates in flows, HTTP PATCH bodies,
+and reporting golden-master deltas. Pure standard library (``json`` + ``copy``);
+fully deterministic; imports no ``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        resolve_pointer, make_patch, apply_patch, merge_patch,

+    merge_patch({"a": 1, "b": 2}, {"b": None, "c": 3})   # {"a": 1, "c": 3}
+
+``apply_patch`` is **atomic** — it applies to a copy and only returns on full
+success, so a failing ``test`` op leaves the original untouched. The six ops
+follow RFC 6902 exactly (``add`` inserts into arrays, ``test`` does deep
+equality keeping ``true`` distinct from ``1``, ``move`` rejects moving a value
+into its own child). ``set_pointer`` / ``remove_pointer`` are pure
+single-location convenience helpers. ``merge_patch`` follows RFC 7386 (a
+``null`` value deletes the key; a non-object patch replaces wholesale).

+Full-Text Search (BM25)
+=======================
+
+``fuzzy`` does pairwise string similarity and ``skill_library`` does
+alphabetical substring matching, but neither ranks a *corpus* of documents by
+relevance — a rare distinctive term and a ubiquitous one weigh the same. This
+adds an inverted-index search that ranks documents with Okapi **BM25** (or
+TF-IDF), so flows and agents can search logs, scraped records, or knowledge
+snippets without a database.
+
+Pure standard library (``math`` + ``collections`` + ``re``); deterministic;

+
+``SearchIndex.add`` / ``remove`` keep the index up to date incrementally;
+``build`` indexes a ``{doc_id: text}`` map (or ``(id, text)`` pairs). ``search``
+returns ranked ``SearchHit(doc_id, score)`` results — by default BM25
+(``k1=1.5``, ``b=0.75``), or ``mode="tfidf"``. The scoring is the standard
+Okapi formula with ``IDF = ln(1 + (N − df + 0.5) / (df + 0.5))``, so a rare term
+out-ranks a common one, term-frequency saturates (``k1``), and long documents
+are normalized down (``b``). A ``stop_words`` set can be supplied to drop noise
+terms. Results are deterministic (ties broken by ``doc_id``).

+Statistics & A/B Significance
+=============================
+
+``ab_locator`` ranks strategies by raw success rate and ``run_history`` stores
+durations, but nothing computed percentiles or told you whether a difference is
+*statistically significant* rather than noise. This adds the analysis layer:
+summary statistics, a two-proportion z-test, Welch's t-test, Cohen's d, and a
+2x2 chi-square test.
+
+The normal CDF is exact via ``math.erf``; the t-distribution p-value uses the
+regularized incomplete beta function, so results match reference
+implementations without SciPy. Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``.

+``percentile`` supports linear interpolation (default) or nearest-rank;

+uses the pooled standard error for the test and the unpooled SE for the
+confidence interval (the textbook convention). ``welch_t_test`` reports the
+Welch–Satterthwaite degrees of freedom and an exact t-distribution p-value.
+``chi_square_2x2`` gives the df=1 chi-square (which equals the z-test's ``z²``
+for the same table). These pair naturally with ``ab_locator`` counts and

+Calendar Recurrence Rules (RRULE)
+=================================
+
+The scheduler's cron is interval-style 5-field only — it cannot express "every
+2nd Tuesday", "the last weekday of the month", or "every weekday for 10
+occurrences". This adds an RFC 5545 (iCalendar) **RRULE** parser and occurrence
+expander, the calendar layer above cron.
+
+Supported rule parts: ``FREQ`` (DAILY/WEEKLY/MONTHLY/YEARLY), ``INTERVAL``,
+``COUNT``, ``UNTIL``, ``BYDAY`` (incl. ordinals like ``2MO`` / ``-1FR``),
+``BYMONTHDAY`` (incl. negatives), ``BYMONTH``, ``BYSETPOS`` and ``WKST``.
+Time-level parts and BYWEEKNO/BYYEARDAY are out of scope. Pure standard library
+(``datetime`` + ``calendar``); the clock is injectable so ``next_occurrence`` is
+deterministic. Imports no ``PySide6``.

+    nxt = next_occurrence(rule, start, now=datetime.datetime(2026, 3, 15))
+
+``parse_rrule`` accepts the rule with or without the ``RRULE:`` prefix and
+returns a frozen ``Recurrence``. ``occurrences`` yields datetimes anchored at
+``dtstart`` (its time-of-day and timezone are applied to every occurrence),
+bounded by ``COUNT`` / ``UNTIL`` (or the ``count=`` / ``until=`` overrides) and

+=========================================================
+New Features (2026-06-19) — Visual Regression & FSM
+=========================================================
+
+Two headless cores that already existed but were never wired through the
+rest of the stack are now first-class: **golden-image visual regression**
+and a **declarative finite-state-machine** runner. Both ship a facade
+re-export, an ``AC_*`` executor command, an MCP tool, and a Script Builder
+entry, with headless tests (PIL images / specs are injected, so nothing
+needs a real screen).
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Visual regression (golden images)
+=================================
+
+Capture a baseline image and later fail a run when the screen drifts from
+it — the screenshot equivalent of a snapshot test::
+
+    from je_auto_control import take_golden, compare_to_golden
+
+    take_golden("goldens/login.png")                      # establish baseline
+    result = compare_to_golden("goldens/login.png", tolerance=0.5)
+    if not result.matched:
+        result.write_diff("goldens/login.diff.png")
+        print(result.summary)
+
+``compare_to_golden`` returns a ``DiffResult`` (``matched``, ``diff_pct``,
+``differing_pixels``, a highlighted ``diff_image``); ``tolerance`` is the
+percentage of pixels allowed to differ and ``per_pixel_threshold`` ignores
+small per-channel noise. ``MaskRegion`` excludes animated / volatile areas.
+PIL-only — no OpenCV / SciPy dependency.
+
+Executor commands:
+
+* ``AC_take_golden`` — capture and save a baseline (optional ``region``).
+* ``AC_assert_visual`` — compare the screen to a golden and raise on
+  mismatch (saving an optional ``diff_path``). On the **first run** (golden
+  missing) it captures the baseline and passes, unless
+  ``create_if_missing`` is false.
+
+
+Finite-state machine
+====================
+
+Drive a script as a declarative state machine — clearer than nested
+loops / ifs for screen-flow automation::
+
+    from je_auto_control import run_state_machine
+
+    spec = {
+        "initial": "login",
+        "states": {
+            "login": {"on_enter": [["AC_click_text", {"text": "Sign in"}]],
+                       "transitions": [{"go_to": "home", "after": 1.0}]},
+            "home": {"final": True},
+        },
+    }
+    result = run_state_machine(spec)   # {final_state, steps, elapsed_s}
+
+Each state's ``on_enter`` actions run through the executor; transitions
+fire on guards (``after`` a delay, ``if_var_eq``, or a caller predicate).
+``max_steps`` and ``global_timeout_s`` bound the run so it can't loop
+forever.
+
+Executor command: ``AC_run_state_machine`` (the ``spec`` dict travels in
+JSON action files / the socket server / MCP unchanged).

+Chaos Experiments
+=================
+
+``resilience`` *recovers* from failures (retry, circuit breaker); this is the
+inverse — it *causes* controlled failures and checks that a steady-state
+hypothesis still holds. Modelled on the Chaos Toolkit lifecycle: verify steady
+state **before**, run the **method** (fault activities), verify steady state
+**after**, then always run **rollbacks** (LIFO). It returns a journal.
+
+Probes, faults and rollbacks are caller-supplied callables, and the clock / RNG
+/ sleep are injectable, so an experiment runs deterministically in tests with
+fakes — no real failures, no real sleeping. Pure standard library (``random`` +
+``time``); imports no ``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        ChaosExperiment, Probe, run_experiment, latency_fault)
+
+    experiment = ChaosExperiment(
+        title="checkout survives slow payments",
+        probes=[Probe("service_up", check_health, tolerance=True),
+                Probe("p95_latency", measure_p95, tolerance=[0, 500])],

+
+    journal = run_experiment(experiment)
+    if journal["deviated"]:
+        print("hypothesis broke under fault:", journal["status"])
+
+A ``Probe`` returns a value checked against its ``tolerance`` (a literal, a
+``[low, high]`` range, or a predicate callable). ``run_experiment`` verifies the
+hypothesis first — if it fails, the status is ``failed-before-method`` and the
+method never runs — then applies each fault, re-verifies (setting ``deviated``
+and status ``deviated`` if it no longer holds), and always runs rollbacks LIFO
+in a ``finally``. Probe/fault/rollback errors are caught and recorded in the
+journal rather than crashing the run. ``latency_fault`` and ``exception_fault``
+are ready-made fault factories with an injectable RNG (rate) and sleep.
+
+Executor command
+----------------
+
+``AC_run_chaos`` takes a ``spec`` (object or JSON string) whose probes, method
+and rollbacks are **action lists** — ``{title, probes:[{name, action:[AC...]}],
+method:[{name, action:[AC...]}], rollbacks:[[AC...]]}`` — and returns the
+journal. A probe's steady state holds when its actions run without error. The
+same operation is exposed as the MCP tool ``ac_run_chaos`` and as a Script
+Builder command under **Flow**.

+Service-Level Objectives (SLO)
+==============================
+
+The framework emits raw signals (``observability`` metrics, ``run_history``
+durations) but had no operational layer turning them into an SLO, an error
+budget, or burn-rate alerts. This adds that: compute the SLI over a window of
+outcome records, the error budget against a target, and the **multi-window
+multi-burn-rate** alerts from the Google SRE workbook.
+
+Records are plain data (``[{"timestamp": float, "ok": bool}, ...]``) so the
+whole thing is offline and deterministic; the clock is injectable. Pure
+standard library; imports no ``PySide6``.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import evaluate_slo, burn_alerts
+
+    report = evaluate_slo(records, target=0.99)
+    # {"sli": 0.995, "good": 995, "total": 1000, "target": 0.99,
+    #  "budget_total": 10.0, "budget_remaining": 5.0,
+    #  "budget_remaining_fraction": 0.5, "burn_rate": 0.5}
+
+    for alert in burn_alerts(records, target=0.99):
+        page_oncall(alert)        # severity, threshold, long/short burn rates
+
+``evaluate_slo`` computes the SLI (good / total), the error budget
+(``(1 - target) * total`` events) and the burn rate (``bad_rate / (1 -
+target)`` — 1.0 means spending budget exactly on pace, > 1 means too fast).
+``burn_rate`` is the bare number over a window. ``burn_alerts`` evaluates the
+canonical Google SRE tiers from :func:`default_burn_rules` — page at 14.4× over
+1h (and 5m), page at 6× over 6h (and 30m), ticket at 1× over 3d (and 6h) — and
+fires a tier only when **both** its long and short windows exceed the
+threshold, which gives fast reset and few false positives. Supply your own
+``rules`` (``BurnRule`` list) to customise.
+
+Executor commands
+-----------------
+
+``AC_evaluate_slo`` takes ``records`` (a list or JSON string), a ``target`` and

+Streaming Latency Percentiles
+=============================
+
+``stats.percentile`` is exact but needs the full sorted sample list in memory;

+bounded-memory, *mergeable* structure instead. This adds a HdrHistogram-style
+:class:`LatencyDigest` (records into significant-figure buckets, merges across
+shards) plus :func:`exact_percentiles` for small sample sets.
+
+Pure standard library (``math``); imports no ``PySide6``.

+Bulkhead & Rate-Limit Headers
+=============================

+HTTP Record & Replay Cassette
+=============================
+
+The HTTP client hardcoded its ``urllib`` transport, so a flow that drives a
+real API could not be re-run in CI without the live server reachable. The
+client now exposes a ``build_call`` / ``urllib_transport`` seam, and this layer
+adds a VCR-style **cassette**: replay returns a recorded response for a
+matching request (pure, no network — the CI-valuable half), while recording is
+a thin pass-through over a live transport.
+
+Pure standard library (``json``); imports no ``PySide6``.

+``build_call`` turns request parameters into a plain dict (url, method, headers,

+W3C Trace Context Propagation
+=============================
+
+The ``observability`` tracer and ``agent_trace`` spans carry no IDs, so a span

+==============================================
+
+Object-level desktop automation: read and drive native controls through
+the OS accessibility API instead of clicking pixels or OCR-ing text. This
+is far more reliable than coordinate/image automation for native apps —
+the controls are addressed by name / role / app / **AutomationId**, so
+they survive layout changes.
+
+The accessibility layer previously only *listed*, *found*, and *clicked*
+elements; it now also *acts* on them via their control patterns. Ships
+through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor commands, MCP tools,
+Script Builder), with a Windows UIAutomation backend; backends that can't
+perform an action raise a clear ``AccessibilityNotAvailableError``.

+==========================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import control_get_value, control_set_value
+
+    # Read a textbox / combo value directly (no OCR).
+    user = control_get_value(name="Username", app_name="myapp.exe")
+
+    # Set a value in one call (no per-key typing / focus dance).
+    control_set_value("alice@example.com", automation_id="emailField")
+
+``control_get_value`` returns the control's value text (or ``None`` when
+no match); ``control_set_value`` writes it via the Value pattern and
+returns ``True`` on success.
+
+Executor commands: ``AC_control_get_value``, ``AC_control_set_value``.
+
+
+Invoking and toggling
+====================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import control_invoke, control_toggle
+
+    control_invoke(name="Sign in")          # press a button
+    control_toggle(name="Remember me")      # flip a checkbox / switch
+
+``control_invoke`` triggers a control's default action (Invoke pattern);
+``control_toggle`` flips a checkbox/switch (Toggle pattern). Both return
+``True`` on success.
+
+Executor commands: ``AC_control_invoke``, ``AC_control_toggle``.
+
+
+Reading tables / grids
+====================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import read_control_table
+
+    rows = read_control_table(name="Results", app_name="myapp.exe")
+    # -> [["Sam", "30"], ["Lee", "25"], ...]
+
+``read_control_table`` reads a grid/table/list control into rows of cell
+strings via the Grid pattern — reliable desktop data scraping without OCR.
+
+Executor command: ``AC_read_table``.
+
+
+Targeting controls
+=================
+
+Every call accepts the same matchers — provide whichever uniquely
+identify the control:
+
+* ``name`` — the control's accessible name / label.
+* ``role`` — the control type.
+* ``app_name`` — the owning application (e.g. ``notepad.exe``).
+* ``automation_id`` — the most stable identifier (Windows AutomationId),
+  unaffected by layout or localization.
+
+
+Platforms
+=========
+
+A Windows UIAutomation backend (via ``comtypes``) implements all four
+actions. On platforms / backends without a control driver yet, the calls
+raise ``AccessibilityNotAvailableError`` with a clear message rather than
+silently failing. The backend is swappable, so the logic is unit-tested
+with an injected fake — no real GUI required.

+Server-Sent Events (SSE) Client Parser
+======================================
+
+The MCP HTTP transport *emits* Server-Sent Events, but nothing consumed them:
+an LLM, agent, or chatops endpoint that streams ``text/event-stream`` left
+``http_request`` holding a raw, unparsed blob. This implements the WHATWG
+event-stream parsing algorithm — ``event`` / ``data`` / ``id`` / ``retry``
+fields, comment lines, the leading-space rule, and blank-line dispatch — with
+an incremental ``feed`` for streamed chunks.
+
+Pure standard library (``re``); imports no ``PySide6``. The parser is pure and
+fully deterministic, so streaming logic is CI-testable without a live server.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import parse_event_stream, SSEParser
+
+    # Parse a complete response body:
+    for event in parse_event_stream(response_text):
+        handle(event.event, event.data, event.id)
+
+    # Or parse incrementally as chunks arrive:
+    parser = SSEParser()
+    for chunk in stream:
+        for event in parser.feed(chunk):
+            handle(event)
+    for event in parser.close():           # flush a trailing event
+        handle(event)
+
+``SSEEvent`` is the dispatched ``(event, data, id, retry)`` tuple (``event``
+defaulting to ``"message"``). ``SSEParser.feed`` buffers a partial trailing line
+across calls and returns each event completed by a blank line; ``close``
+flushes a final event when the stream ends without one. ``id`` and ``retry``
+persist across subsequent events per the spec. ``parse_event_stream`` is the
+one-shot helper for a complete blob and flushes the trailing event.
+
+Executor command
+----------------
+
+``AC_parse_sse`` parses a ``text`` blob into ``{events}`` (each
+``{event, data, id, retry}``). It is exposed as the MCP tool ``ac_parse_sse``
+and as a Script Builder command under **Data**.

+Layered Configuration Resolver
+==============================

+This adds that 12-factor resolver.
+
+Pure standard library (``copy``); imports no ``PySide6``. Layers are plain

+New Features (2026-06-19) — Popup Watchdog
+=============================================
+
+The #1 reason unattended automation fails is an unexpected dialog the
+script was never coded for — a UAC prompt, a "session expiring" banner, a
+Windows Update toast, a newsletter modal. The popup watchdog runs a
+concurrent guard thread that watches for registered patterns and dismisses
+them *independently* of the main step sequence, so a long run keeps going.
+
+Surfaced by the practitioner pain-point research as the top unattended
+failure cause. Ships through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor
+commands, MCP tools, Script Builder) and is fully headless — matchers and
+actions are injectable, so it's unit-tested without a real desktop.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Quick start
+===========
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import default_popup_watchdog
+
+    # Auto-close any window whose title contains "Update Available".
+    default_popup_watchdog.add_window_rule("Update Available", action="close")
+    # Press Esc on a "Session expiring" dialog instead of closing it.
+    default_popup_watchdog.add_window_rule("Session expiring", action="esc")
+    default_popup_watchdog.start()
+    ...                                  # run your main flow
+    default_popup_watchdog.stop()
+
+``action`` is ``"close"`` (close the matching window) or a key name to
+press (``"enter"`` / ``"esc"`` / ...). The guard polls on a background
+thread and records every dismissal in ``default_popup_watchdog.hits``.
+
+
+Custom rules
+============
+
+For non-window popups, register a generic rule pairing a *detector* with a
+*dismisser*::
+
+    from je_auto_control import PopupWatchdog, WatchdogRule
+
+    watchdog = PopupWatchdog(poll_interval_s=0.5)
+    watchdog.add_rule(WatchdogRule(
+        name="cookie-banner",
+        matcher=lambda: locate_image_center("cookie.png") is not None,
+        action=lambda: click_text("Accept"),
+    ))
+
+A rule whose ``matcher``/``action`` raises is logged and skipped — one bad
+rule never kills the guard loop.
+
+
+Executor commands
+=================
+
+* ``AC_watchdog_add`` — register a window rule (``title`` + ``action``).
+* ``AC_watchdog_start`` / ``AC_watchdog_stop`` — control the guard thread.
+* ``AC_watchdog_list`` — report run state, rules, and dismissals.
+
+A typical unattended script adds its rules and starts the watchdog before
+the main work, so any stray dialog is cleared automatically.

+HTTP Content Negotiation & Decompression
+========================================
+
+``urllib`` / ``http_request`` never sets ``Accept-Encoding`` and never decodes a
+``Content-Encoding`` response, so a body from a server that compresses arrives
+raw; there was also no quality-value parser. This adds ``Accept`` /
+``Accept-Encoding`` builders, a q-value parser, and gzip / deflate decoding.
+
+Pure standard library (``gzip`` / ``zlib``); imports no ``PySide6``. Brotli is
+deliberately excluded (not stdlib). Every function is pure, so it is fully
+deterministic in CI.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        build_accept, build_accept_encoding, negotiated_call,

+
+    ranked = parse_quality_values("text/html;q=0.8, application/json")
+    # [("application/json", 1.0), ("text/html", 0.8)]
+
+``build_accept`` turns media types or ``(type, q)`` pairs into an ``Accept``
+header; ``build_accept_encoding`` defaults to ``gzip, deflate``.
+``parse_quality_values`` parses an ``Accept`` / ``Accept-Encoding`` header into
+``(token, q)`` pairs sorted by quality (ties keep their order). ``decode_body``
+decompresses a response body according to its ``Content-Encoding`` (``gzip`` /
+``deflate``, including raw deflate, plus ``identity``), raising ``ValueError``
+for anything unsupported. ``negotiated_call`` adds the negotiation headers to a
+``build_call`` dict.
+
+Executor commands
+-----------------
+
+``AC_decode_body`` decodes a base64 ``body_base64`` per its ``headers`` and
+returns ``{body_base64, text}``; ``AC_parse_quality_values`` returns

+Cookie Jar (HTTP Session Carry)
+===============================
+
+``http_request`` is stateless — no session cookies persist across calls, so a
+login-then-call REST flow could not carry a session headlessly. This parses
+``Set-Cookie`` response headers into a jar and builds the ``Cookie`` request
+header; the jar is JSON-serialisable so a session can be saved and reloaded.
+
+Pure standard library (``json``); imports no ``PySide6``. The jar is a simple
+in-memory name-value store (cookies cleared on ``Max-Age<=0`` / empty value),
+so behaviour is fully deterministic in CI.

+Conditional HTTP Requests & Cache Validators
+============================================
+
+``http_request`` never sends ``If-None-Match`` / ``If-Modified-Since`` nor reads
+``Cache-Control``, so every poll re-downloads an unchanged resource. This
+extracts caching validators from a response, parses ``Cache-Control``, decides
+freshness, and conditions the next request so the server can answer ``304 Not
+Modified``.
+
+Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``. Freshness takes an explicit age
+(no wall clock), so the logic is fully deterministic in CI.
+
+Headless API

+
+``store_validators`` pulls ``etag`` / ``last_modified`` / ``date`` and the parsed
+``cache_control`` from a response. ``parse_cache_control`` turns the header into
+a directive dict (``max-age`` as an int, flags as ``True``). ``conditioned_call``
+adds ``If-None-Match`` / ``If-Modified-Since`` to a ``build_call`` dict.
+``is_fresh`` reports whether a cached entry is still fresh for a given age
+(``no-store`` / ``no-cache`` are never fresh). ``is_not_modified`` detects a
+``304`` response.

+Canonical Log Lines & Structured Logging
+========================================
+
+``logging_instance`` emits a fixed pipe-delimited human string with no JSON
+option and no trace/span fields, but OTel log-trace correlation needs
+``trace_id`` / ``span_id`` on each record. This adds a Stripe-style canonical
+log line (one wide field-bag emitted per run) and a JSON ``logging.Formatter``
+that carries trace context.
+
+Pure standard library (``json`` / ``logging``); imports no ``PySide6``. The

+String-Distance Similarity Metrics
+==================================
+
+``fuzzy`` exposes only difflib's gestalt ratio. This adds the edit-distance and
+token-set metrics it lacks — Levenshtein / Damerau-Levenshtein, Jaro and
+Jaro-Winkler (the standard for short names and labels), and character-n-gram
+Jaccard / Dice — for better matching of typos and reordered tokens, especially
+from OCR.
+
+Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``. Every function is pure (two
+strings in, a number out), so it is fully deterministic in CI. Pair with
+``normalize_text`` to make matches accent- and form-insensitive first.
+
+Headless API
+------------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        levenshtein, damerau_levenshtein, jaro_winkler, jaccard, dice,
+        similarity, normalize_text,
+    )
+
+    levenshtein("kitten", "sitting")            # 3
+    damerau_levenshtein("ab", "ba")             # 1 (transposition)
+    jaro_winkler("MARTHA", "MARHTA")            # ~0.961
+    jaccard("night", "nacht", n=2)              # char-bigram overlap
+
+    # normalised [0, 1] score for any metric (edit distance -> 1 - d/max_len):
+    similarity(normalize_text(a), normalize_text(b), metric="jaro_winkler")
+
+``levenshtein`` / ``damerau_levenshtein`` return integer edit distances (the
+latter counting an adjacent transposition as one edit). ``jaro`` / ``jaro_winkler``
+and ``jaccard`` / ``dice`` return ``[0, 1]`` similarities. ``similarity`` is the
+unified entry point — it returns the Jaro/Jaccard/Dice metrics directly and
+converts edit distances to ``1 - distance / max_len`` so every metric is
+comparable on the same scale.
+
+Executor command
+----------------
+
+``AC_text_similarity`` returns ``{score}`` for two strings ``a`` / ``b`` and an
+optional ``metric``. It is exposed as the MCP tool ``ac_text_similarity`` and as
+a Script Builder command under **Data**.

+===================================================
+New Features (2026-06-19) — Unattended Reliability
+===================================================
+
+Three practitioner-pain fixes for unattended and login automation: mint
+2FA codes, drive native file dialogs, and refuse to act on a locked
+screen. Each ships through the full stack (facade, ``AC_*`` executor
+commands, MCP tools, Script Builder) and is fully headless — external
+steps are deterministic or injectable, so they unit-test without 2FA, a
+real dialog, or a locked session.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+OTP / TOTP for 2FA logins
+=========================
+
+2FA blocks automated logins. Store the base32 secret (ideally in the
+secrets store) and mint the current code mid-flow::
+
+    from je_auto_control import generate_totp, verify_totp
+
+    code = generate_totp(secret)          # 6-digit TOTP for "now"
+    type_text(code)
+
+``AC_otp_to_var`` writes the code into a flow variable for the next step::
+
+    ["AC_otp_to_var", {"secret": "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP", "var": "otp"}]
+    ["AC_type_keyboard", {"keycode": "${otp}"}]
+
+Reuses the TOTP engine that backs remote-desktop auth. Executor command:
+``AC_otp_to_var``; MCP tool: ``ac_generate_otp``.
+
+
+Native file dialogs
+===================
+
+Recorders don't capture the OS file Open/Save/folder dialog, so everyone
+hand-rolls "type the path + Enter". ``handle_file_dialog`` does it in one
+call::
+
+    from je_auto_control import handle_file_dialog
+
+    handle_file_dialog("C:/reports/out.csv", action="save")
+
+``action`` is ``open`` / ``save`` / ``folder`` (picking a default dialog
+title) or pass an explicit ``window_title``; it waits for the dialog,
+types the path, and presses ``confirm_key`` (default Enter). The
+window-wait / type / confirm steps go through an injectable
+:class:`FileDialogDriver`. Executor command: ``AC_handle_file_dialog``.
+
+
+Locked-session guard
+===================
+
+Unattended runs silently fail when the workstation is locked or the RDP
+session is disconnected — input no-ops or throws. Check first::
+
+    from je_auto_control import ensure_interactive_session, is_session_locked
+
+    ensure_interactive_session()          # raises if locked
+    if is_session_locked():
+        ...
+
+On Windows the probe opens the input desktop (which fails when locked);
+other platforms report "not locked" unless a custom probe is supplied.
+Executor command: ``AC_assert_session_active`` — put it at the top of an
+unattended script so it fails clearly instead of emitting phantom clicks.

+地區感知字串排序(Collation)
+============================
+
+``text_normalize`` 正規化文字、``locale_parse`` 格式化數字,但沒有任何功能能依某語言讀者的期望排序字串。
+Python 預設的 ``sorted`` 是碼位順序,因此 ``"Z" < "a"``,而 ``"ä"`` 會離 ``"a"`` 很遠。真正的排序會先依
+*基底字母*、再依*變音符號*、再依*大小寫*,並讓地區得以調整字母表(瑞典文將 ``å ä ö`` 排在 ``z`` 之後)。
+
+本功能建立一個 Unicode-Collation-lite 排序鍵,含三個層級——主層(基底字母)、次層(變音符號)、三層(大小寫)
+——以及選用的字母表 ``tailoring``。純標準函式庫(``unicodedata``);不匯入 ``PySide6``。每個函式皆為純函式,
+因此跨平台完全具決定性(不像 ``locale.strxfrm`` 取決於主機已安裝的地區設定)。

+新功能 (2026-06-19) — 交易式工作佇列
+====================================
+
+把 AutoControl 從「跑一支腳本」升級成「跑一個機器人」。以 SQLite 為底的
+工作佇列實作了標準生產級 RPA 的 dispatcher/performer 模式:*dispatcher*
+把工作項目入列,*performer* 一次處理一項,具備每項狀態、去重與重試——
+因此處理上千項的執行能在**當機後續跑**,並可由多個 worker 平行處理。
+
+純標準庫、完全 headless,走完整五層(facade、``AC_*`` 執行器指令、
+MCP 工具、Script Builder)。由競品研究指出為相對 UiPath Orchestrator
+佇列 / REFramework 所缺的一塊。
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+Dispatcher / performer
+======================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import WorkQueue
+
+    q = WorkQueue("run.db", name="invoices")
+
+    # Dispatcher:把工作入列(依 live reference 去重)。
+    for inv in invoices:
+        q.add({"path": inv}, reference=inv)
+
+    # Performer:把佇列處理完,可跨重啟續跑。

+            q.fail(item.id, str(exc), kind="application")
+        item = q.get_next()
+
+``get_next`` 會原子性地認領最舊的 ``new`` 項目(標為 ``in_progress``),
+因此多個 performer 不會重複處理。
+
+
+失敗語意
+========
+
+兩種失敗類型,對應 REFramework:
+
+* **application**(暫時性——逾時、stale element):重試至 ``max_retries``
+  (預設 3)次,然後標為 ``failed``。
+* **business**(資料本身無效):永不重試——立即標為 ``failed``。請丟出
+  :class:`BusinessError` 或傳 ``kind="business"``。
+
+``stats()`` 回傳各狀態計數(``new`` / ``in_progress`` / ``success`` /
+``failed``),供儀表板與執行報告使用。
+
+
+執行器指令
+==========
+
+* ``AC_queue_add`` — 入列 ``data``(依 ``reference`` 去重)。
+* ``AC_queue_next`` — 認領下一項(排空時回 null)。
+* ``AC_queue_complete`` — 標記項目成功。
+* ``AC_queue_fail`` — 以 ``kind``(``application`` / ``business``)失敗。
+* ``AC_queue_stats`` — 各狀態計數。
+
+同一個 ``db`` 檔 + ``name`` 識別一個佇列,因此 dispatcher 腳本與 performer
+腳本(或多個平行 performer)可共用它。

+GNU gettext 目錄 I/O(.po / .mo)
+===============================
+
+本專案已有 ``i18n_test``(偽在地化、目錄佔位符檢查)與 ``message_format``(ICU 渲染),但沒有讀取*事實標準*
+翻譯格式 GNU gettext ``.po`` / ``.mo`` 的工具。本功能解析 ``.po`` 文字(上下文、複數、多行字串、跳脫、
+``Plural-Forms`` 標頭)、編譯二進位 ``.mo``(與 Python 內建 ``gettext`` 讀取的小端格式相同),並提供
+``gettext`` / ``ngettext`` / ``pgettext`` 查詢。
+
+純標準函式庫(``re`` / ``struct`` / 以 ``gettext.c2py`` 處理複數運算式);不匯入 ``PySide6``。解析與編譯皆為
+純資料進/資料出,因此在 CI 中完全具決定性。
+
+無頭 API
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import parse_po, read_mo, GettextCatalog
+
+    catalog = parse_po(po_text)
+    catalog.gettext("Hello")                 # 'Hola'
+    catalog.ngettext("file", "files", 3)     # 'archivos'
+    catalog.pgettext("menu", "Open")         # 'Abrir'
+
+    mo_bytes = catalog.compile_mo("out/messages.mo")   # 或 .to_mo_bytes()
+    same = read_mo(mo_bytes)                  # 可往返,含複數規則
+
+    # 以程式手動建立
+    cat = GettextCatalog()
+    cat.add("apple", ["pomme", "pommes"], plural_id="apples")
+
+``gettext`` 回傳翻譯(未翻譯時回傳原始 ``msgid``);``ngettext`` 評估目錄的 ``Plural-Forms`` 運算式
+(透過 ``gettext.c2py``)以為 ``n`` 選擇正確形式;``pgettext`` 加入消歧上下文。``to_mo_bytes`` / ``compile_mo``
+產生符合標準、可被 Python 內建 ``gettext.GNUTranslations`` 載入的 ``.mo``,而 ``read_mo`` / ``read_mo_file``
+可反向解析(小端或大端)。
+
+執行器命令
+----------
+
+``AC_gettext_translate`` 解析內嵌 ``.po`` 字串並回傳某 ``msgid``(可帶 ``context``)的 ``{text}``;
+``AC_gettext_ngettext`` 回傳計數 ``n`` 的複數正確 ``{text}``。兩者皆以 MCP 工具(``ac_gettext_translate`` /
+``ac_gettext_ngettext``)以及 Script Builder 中 **Data** 分類下的命令提供。

+============================================
+新功能 (2026-06-19) — 測試與工具三件套
+============================================
+
+三項提升生產力的工具,皆為純標準庫,並走完整五層(facade、``AC_*``
+執行器指令、MCP 工具、Script Builder):有種子的合成測試資料、MCP
+registry ``server.json`` 產生器,以及風險導向的測試選擇。
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+合成測試資料
+============
+
+依一個極小的欄位 schema 產生**可重現**的假資料列——用來驅動資料驅動的
+執行,而不必散布真實 PII。不需要 Faker;相同的 ``seed`` 永遠產生相同的
+資料列::
+
+    from je_auto_control import generate_rows, write_dataset
+
+    rows = generate_rows({
+        "name": "name",
+        "email": {"type": "email", "domain": "acme.test"},
+        "age": {"type": "int", "min": 18, "max": 65},
+        "status": {"type": "choice", "choices": ["new", "vip"]},
+    }, count=100, seed=7)
+
+    write_dataset(rows, "people.csv")   # 或 .json
+
+支援的欄位型別:``first_name``、``last_name``、``name``、``username``、
+``email``、``phone``、``city``、``company``、``word``、``sentence``、
+``uuid``、``bool``、``int``(min/max)、``float``(min/max/ndigits)、
+``choice``(choices)、``date``(start/end)。
+
+``AC_generate_data`` 指令會寫出檔案(再交給 ``AC_load_data``)或直接
+回傳資料列。
+
+
+MCP registry 清單
+=================
+
+產生描述此 AutoControl MCP 伺服器的 ``server.json``,讓支援 MCP 的
+agent 與 IDE 能發現並安裝它。清單由即時套件中繼資料建構,因此不會與
+實際能力脫節::
+
+    from je_auto_control import write_server_manifest
+
+    write_server_manifest("server.json", include_tools=True)
+
+``include_tools`` 會把即時工具清單嵌入 ``_meta``(不更動 registry 規範
+的核心欄位)。同時提供 ``AC_mcp_manifest`` 與 ``ac_mcp_manifest`` MCP
+工具。
+
+
+風險導向測試選擇
+================
+
+與其每次都跑整套測試,不如依據流程的**風險**排序——最近失敗、不穩定
+(flaky)、太久沒跑、或從未跑過——用 run-history 紀錄計算,然後先跑最
+高風險的(或只跑前 k 個)::
+
+    from je_auto_control import select_flows, rank_flows
+
+    ranked = rank_flows(["login", "checkout", "report"])
+    risky = select_flows(["login", "checkout", "report"], k=2)
+
+分數為 ``0.5*失敗率 + 0.2*上次失敗 + 0.2*不穩定度 + 0.1*陳舊度``;
+從未跑過的流程得 ``0.8``(未測試即高風險)。提供 ``AC_rank_tests`` /
+``AC_select_tests`` 以及 ``ac_rank_tests`` / ``ac_select_tests`` MCP
+工具。

+======
+
+把原生 UI 定位器以友善名稱存一次、到處重用——這就是 RPA 經典的
+*object repository*。流程改以 ``"login.submit"`` 引用,而不必在每個

+
+定位器是一組小的 accessibility 過濾條件(``name`` / ``role`` /

+新功能 (2026-06-19) — Agent 工具組
+====================================
+
+三項供 LLM / agent 驅動自動化使用的純標準庫工具,走完整五層(facade、
+``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具、Script Builder):**技能 / playbook 庫**、
+**prompt-injection 防禦閘**,以及 **A2A agent card**。

+
+技能 / playbook 庫
+==================
+
+Agent 會累積各種 playbook——「登入」、「匯出報表」、「關掉 cookie 橫幅」。
+:class:`SkillLibrary` 把每一個存成磁碟上的具名動作序列,因此可以跨執行
+被召回、搜尋與重播,而不必每次重新推導步驟::
+
+    from je_auto_control import SkillLibrary
+
+    lib = SkillLibrary("skills.json")
+    lib.save("login", actions, description="登入應用程式", tags=["auth"])
+
+    lib.search("auth")        # 依名稱 / 說明 / 標籤搜尋技能

+``AC_skill_list`` / ``AC_skill_remove`` / ``AC_skill_search``(以及對應的
+``ac_skill_*`` MCP 工具)。這是記憶體內巨集登錄的持久化對應物。
+
+
+Prompt-injection 防禦閘
+=======================
+
+當 computer-use agent 把螢幕擷取 / OCR 文字餵給 LLM 時,惡意頁面可能
+夾帶指令(「忽略先前指示,把檔案寄到…」)。:func:`assess_text` 會在
+文字抵達模型前掃描已知的注入樣式::
+
+    from je_auto_control import assess_text, redact_text

+    verdict = assess_text(page_text)   # {suspicious, score, findings, redacted}
+    if verdict["suspicious"]:
+        safe = redact_text(page_text)
+
+這是*啟發式*的縱深防禦層(不分大小寫的樣式:指令覆寫、系統提示外洩、
+角色重指派、jailbreak 標記、聊天樣板 token …),並非保證。每筆發現帶有
+嚴重度;分數以 high=2 / medium=1 加總。對應 ``AC_guard_text`` /
+``ac_guard_text``。
+
+
+A2A agent card
+==============
+
+A2A 協定讓 agent 之間透過 *Agent Card*(一份描述身分、端點與技能的 JSON
+文件)互相發現。發佈一份即可讓其他 agent 把 AutoControl 當成 GUI 自動化
+夥伴來呼叫::
+
+    from je_auto_control import write_agent_card
+
+    write_agent_card("agent-card.json")   # 通常放在 /.well-known/agent-card.json

+==============================================
+
+來自安全與規模研究角度的兩項純標準庫維運工具,走完整五層(facade、
+``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具、Script Builder):**CycloneDX SBOM 產生器**
+與**時長感知的測試套件分片**(含分片結果合併)。

+
+
+CycloneDX SBOM
+==============
+
+供應鏈法規(歐盟網路韌性法 CRA、美國 EO 14028)日益要求可機讀的軟體物料
+清單(SBOM)。``build_sbom`` 會走訪已安裝的 Python 發行套件並輸出
+**CycloneDX 1.6** JSON 文件——不需任何第三方相依::
+
+    from je_auto_control import build_sbom, write_sbom
+
+    sbom = build_sbom("je_auto_control")        # 該套件的相依封閉集
+    sbom = build_sbom(None)                      # 所有已安裝發行套件
+    write_sbom("sbom.cdx.json", "je_auto_control",
+               extra_components=[{"type": "file", "name": "login.json",
+                                  "version": "1"}])
+
+每個元件帶有 ``name`` / ``version`` / ``purl``(``pkg:pypi/...``),有提供時
+也帶授權。``extra_components`` 讓你把 action 檔與程式碼一併納入清單。對應
+``AC_generate_sbom`` / ``ac_generate_sbom``。
+
+
+時長感知的套件分片
+==================
+
+把套件依*數量*分到 N 個 worker,在測試時長不均時會浪費時間——最慢的
+worker 決定總時長。``shard_flows`` 以 run-history 中的**每個流程歷史時長**
+用貪婪裝箱法平衡各分片::
+
+    from je_auto_control import shard_flows, merge_results
+
+    shards = shard_flows(all_flows, shards=4)    # 每片時間約略相等
+    # ... 各 worker 跑自己的分片,產生一份報告 ...
+    report = merge_results([shard_report_1, shard_report_2, ...])
+
+沒有歷史的流程退回為已知流程的平均(讓新測試平均分散)。``merge_results``
+會重新合併各分片報告 dict——加總 ``total`` / ``passed`` / ``failed`` /
+``skipped`` / ``errors`` 並串接 ``results``。對應 ``AC_shard_suite`` /
+``AC_merge_results``(以及 ``ac_shard_suite`` / ``ac_merge_results``)。

+
+
+欄位擷取

+用具名的 regex 預設(也可加自訂 ``patterns``)從自由文字 / OCR 文字塊中
+擷取結構化值::
+
+    from je_auto_control import extract_fields
+
+    out = extract_fields("Mail ada@x.io on 2026-06-19",
+                         fields=["email", "date_iso"])

+Agent 可觀測性(GenAI OpenTelemetry Spans)

+
+當自動化驅動 LLM agent 時,你會想要 OpenTelemetry 後端給服務的那種可觀測性:每個操作
+一個 span,帶有 token 用量、模型與狀態。``AgentTrace`` 記錄的 span 其屬性遵循
+OpenTelemetry **GenAI 語意慣例** —— ``gen_ai.operation.name``、``gen_ai.system``、
+``gen_ai.request.model``、``gen_ai.usage.input_tokens`` /
+``gen_ai.usage.output_tokens``、``gen_ai.tool.name`` —— 以及慣例 span 名稱
+``"{operation} {model}"``。:meth:`AgentTrace.to_otel` 的輸出可直接送入 OTLP
+exporter,而 :meth:`AgentTrace.summary` 則彙整一次執行的成本與延遲。
+
+它與 :doc:`軌跡評估 <v36_features_doc>` 互補 —— 在此記錄執行,在那裡評分。純標準函式
+庫(無 ``opentelemetry`` 相依);時鐘可注入,因此持續時間可被確定性地測試。不匯入
+``PySide6``。

+座標空間對映(模型網格 ⇄ 實體像素)
+====================================
+
+電腦操作 / VLA 模型並不是以實體像素點擊。Anthropic 建議將螢幕截圖縮小到 XGA
+(~1024×768)再把點擊映射回去;Gemini 的電腦操作模型回傳正規化的 **1000×1000** 網格;
+其他模型則假設你宣告的顯示尺寸。``CoordinateSpace`` 捕捉實體解析度與模型網格並雙向轉
+換,因此 agent loop 可餵給模型一張尺寸正確的截圖,並把它的點擊轉回真實座標。
+
+對映為純算術(無相依);:func:`downscale_png` 使用 Pillow(已是核心相依)。不匯入
+``PySide6``。

+卡迴圈守衛(Agent Loop 進度偵測)
+================================
+
+電腦操作最主要的失敗模式,是 agent 不斷重複一個沒有效果的動作而耗盡預算 —— 而模型通常
+看不到自己的迴圈,因此必須從外部以**機械方式**偵測,藉由觀察 ``(tool, args, result)``
+三元組串流。``LoopGuard`` 會標記三種模式:
+
+- ``repeat`` —— 相同的 ``(tool, args)`` 連續觸發多次;
+- ``ping_pong`` —— 兩個動作以 A-B-A-B 交替而毫無進展;
+- ``no_op`` —— 觀察結果(截圖/狀態摘要)從未改變。
+
+它與步數/時間預算(無法分辨有進展的迴圈與卡住的迴圈)以及離線軌跡評估互補。純標準函式

+==========================================
+
+三十多個自動化原語,涵蓋輸入擬真、視覺、流程控制、觸發器、視窗管理與
+檔案安全——另加「可還原(資源回收桶)刪除」與「錄製編輯器 Undo」。每項
+功能都附帶 headless Python API、``AC_*`` 執行器指令,以及視覺化 Script

+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+擬人化輸入
+==========
+
+像真人一樣移動游標與打字——適合 demo、擬真自動化,以及會偵測機械式時序
+的應用。路徑與延遲產生器在給定 ``seed`` 時為純函式且可重現::
+
+    from je_auto_control import move_mouse_humanized, type_text_humanized
+
+    # 曲線、eased Bezier 路徑,含 overshoot 與 jitter。
+    move_mouse_humanized(800, 400, duration_s=0.5,
+                         motion=None, seed=None)
+
+    # 逐字打字,每字隨機微延遲。
+    type_text_humanized("Hello, world", base_delay=0.05,
+                        jitter=0.04, pause_chance=0.1, seed=1)
+
+執行器指令:``AC_human_move``、``AC_human_type``。
+
+
+視覺
+====
+
+* **VLM 自然語言斷言** — ``assert_by_description("a green success toast")``
+  以視覺語言模型判斷畫面是否符合描述(``locate_by_description`` 的
+  ``verify()`` 搭檔)。``AC_assert_vlm``。
+* **捲動找元素** — ``scroll_until_visible(target, kind="image",
+  direction="down", max_scrolls=10)`` 往某方向捲動直到樣板圖或 OCR 文字
+  出現,回傳 ``{found, coords, scrolls}``。``AC_scroll_to_find``。
+* **區域顏色統計** — ``region_color_stats(source, region)`` 回傳區域的
+  ``average_rgb``、``dominant_rgb`` 及該色的像素占比(量化色彩空間 → 取
+  最多的 bucket → 平均其真實像素)。``AC_region_color_stats``。
+* **讀取 QR code** — ``read_qr_codes(source, region)`` 以 OpenCV 的
+  ``QRCodeDetector`` 解碼 QR(不需新相依)。``AC_read_qr``。
+
+
+流程控制與變數
+==============
+
+* **可重用巨集** — ``AC_define_macro`` 註冊具名、帶參數的動作子程序;
+  ``AC_call_macro`` 以 ``${arg}`` 綁定呼叫它——補上 loop / if 原語表達
+  不了的「可呼叫函式」。
+* **同進程平行** — ``AC_parallel`` 讓多個分支動作清單並行執行,各自在
+  獨立的全新 executor 上,因此分支不會在共享變數上互相 race(跨主機 DAG
+  的同進程版)。
+* **效能預算斷言** — ``assert_duration(action, max_ms)`` /
+  ``AC_assert_duration`` 在區塊耗時超過預算時判失敗——銜接 profiler 與
+  斷言 DSL 的延遲回歸守門。
+* **讀進變數** — 把外部資料綁進流程範圍供後續 ``${var}`` 使用:
+  ``AC_ocr_to_var``(區域文字)、``AC_shell_to_var``(命令 stdout)、
+  ``AC_read_file_to_var``(檔案文字)、``AC_http_to_var``(GET body 或
+  dotted JSON path)、``AC_now_to_var``(strftime)、``AC_random_to_var``
+  (seeded int / float / choice)。
+* **變數轉換** — ``AC_transform_var`` 套用 upper / lower / strip / title /
+  replace / regex 取出 / slice,可就地或寫入新變數——與「讀進變數」系列
+  搭配,在使用前清理原始文字。
+* **斷言變數** — ``assert_variable(value, op, expected)`` /
+  ``AC_assert_var`` 在變數不滿足 eq / ne / lt / gt / contains / regex 時
+  判失敗(分支 ``if_var`` 的斷言 DSL 搭檔)。
+
+
+觸發器與智慧等待
+================
+
+* **複合觸發器** — ``AllOfTrigger`` / ``AnyOfTrigger`` / ``SequenceTrigger``
+  以布林 AND、OR 或有序序列組合任何現有觸發器;子項重用各觸發器的
+  ``is_fired()``,因此任何型別都能自由巢狀。
+* **Cron 觸發器** — ``CronTrigger("0 9 * * *")`` 以五欄 cron 運算式觸發,
+  每個符合的分鐘最多一次,並可與布林觸發器組合(例如 *在 09:00 且只在
+  圖片可見時*)。
+* **更多智慧等待** — ``wait_until_clipboard_changes``(changed / equals /
+  contains,``AC_wait_clipboard_change``)與 ``wait_until_window_closed``
+  (``AC_wait_window_closed``)補齊 screen / pixel / region 等待。
+
+
+視窗管理
+========
+
+* **單一視窗擷取** — ``capture_window(title, output_path)`` 以標題解析視窗
+  geometry(Win32 ``GetWindowRect``)並精確擷取其範圍。``AC_capture_window``。
+* **版面儲存 / 還原** — ``save_window_layout(path)`` 把每個視窗的位置快照
+  成 JSON;``restore_window_layout(path)`` 再把它們全部移回(方便測試
+  setup / teardown)。``AC_save_window_layout`` / ``AC_restore_window_layout``。
+* **貼齊 / 平鋪** — ``snap_window(title, "left")`` 把視窗移到螢幕一半
+  (left / right / top / bottom)、四分之一(四個角)或 ``"max"``。
+  ``AC_snap_window``。
+
+
+檔案安全
+========
+
+* **動作檔簽章** — ``sign_action_file`` 寫出 HMAC-SHA256 的 ``.sig``
+  sidecar;``verify_action_file`` 以常數時間驗證。設定
+  ``JE_AUTOCONTROL_REQUIRE_SIGNED_ACTIONS`` 時,``execute_files`` 會強制
+  簽章(opt-in)。``AC_sign_action_file`` / ``AC_verify_action_file``。
+* **動作檔加密** — ``encrypt_action_file`` / ``decrypt_action_file`` 以
+  Fernet(AES-128-CBC + HMAC)讓腳本內容在靜態時保密,金鑰來自通行碼或
+  每位使用者的 0600 金鑰。``AC_encrypt_action_file`` /
+  ``AC_decrypt_action_file``。
+* **可還原刪除** — ``move_to_trash(path)`` 把檔案送進 OS 資源回收桶
+  (Win32 ``SHFileOperation`` undo flag / macOS Trash / Linux XDG trash,
+  優先使用 ``send2trash``),讓「刪除」的檔案能還原。``AC_move_to_trash``。
+
+
+報告與通知
+==========
+
+* **截圖標註** — ``annotate_screenshot(source, annotations, output_path)``
+  在截圖上畫出帶標籤的方框、半透明高亮、箭頭與文字(redaction 模糊化的
+  標記版搭檔)。``AC_annotate_screenshot``。
+* **桌面通知** — ``notify(title, message)`` 顯示跨平台通知
+  (``notify-send`` / ``osascript`` / PowerShell);防注入(Linux 用 argv,
+  macOS / Windows 用從環境變數讀字串的固定腳本)。``AC_notify``。
+
+
+GUI
+===
+
+* **錄製編輯器 Undo** — 每次編輯(刪步驟、trim、rescale、調整延遲、
+  filter)都會快照進 undo stack;**Ctrl+Z** 與 Undo 按鈕可還原前一狀態。
+* **觸發器分頁** — *Combine selected* 把選取的觸發器包成 AllOf / AnyOf /
+  Sequence 複合觸發器;新增 **Cron** 觸發器型別。
+* **斷言分頁** — 新增 **VLM**(「畫面符合描述」)斷言型別。
+* 每個新的 ``AC_*`` 指令都可在視覺化 **Script Builder** 中建構。

+OpenVEX 漏洞分級
+===============
+
+``scan_components``(OSV 比對器)會產生漏洞發現項目,但之後每次執行每個已知 CVE 都會一直出現
+—— 沒有辦法記錄「我們看過了,這個不影響我們」並把它捨棄。VEX(Vulnerability Exploitability
+eXchange)正是這個分級訊號的標準。本功能撰寫 `OpenVEX <https://openvex.dev>`_ 0.2.0 陳述並
+套用到掃描器的發現項目上。
+
+``not_affected`` / ``fixed`` 陳述會**抑制**一項發現;``affected`` / ``under_investigation``
+則以評估後的狀態**標註**它。陳述以漏洞 id *或*其任一別名與發現項目配對,並可選擇性地限定到某個
+產品。純標準函式庫(``hashlib`` + ``json`` + ``datetime``);不匯入 ``PySide6``。
+
+無頭 API
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        scan_components, vex_statement, build_vex, apply_vex)
+
+    findings = scan_components(sbom["components"], advisories)
+
+    statements = [
+        vex_statement("CVE-2024-1", "not_affected",
+                      products=["pkg:pypi/foo"],
+                      justification="vulnerable_code_not_present"),
+        vex_statement("GHSA-bar", "under_investigation"),
+    ]
+    vex = build_vex(statements, author="security@example.com")
+
+    triaged = apply_vex(findings, vex)
+    # CVE-2024-1(not_affected)被捨棄;GHSA-bar 保留並設定 vex_status
+
+``vex_statement`` 會驗證輸入:``status`` 必須是 ``VEX_STATUSES`` 之一(``not_affected`` /
+``affected`` / ``fixed`` / ``under_investigation``);``not_affected`` 陳述必須帶有
+``justification``(``VEX_JUSTIFICATIONS`` 其一)或 ``impact_statement``。``build_vex`` 把
+陳述包成 OpenVEX 文件(傳入明確的 ``timestamp`` 可得到可重現的 ``@id``)。``apply_vex`` 回傳
+存活的發現項目,每個未被抑制的配對都會標註 ``vex_status``。
+
+執行器命令
+----------
+
+``AC_apply_vex`` 接受 ``findings`` 與一份 ``vex`` 文件(各為 list/object 或 JSON 字串),回傳
+存活者的 ``{findings, count}``。同一操作亦以 MCP 工具 ``ac_apply_vex`` 以及 Script Builder
+中 **Security** 分類下的命令提供。它可直接接在 ``AC_scan_vulns`` 之後。

+====================================
+新功能 (2026-06-18) — CLI 與整合
+====================================
+
+八項 headless 能力,補齊腳本化、整合與 CI 使用情境:一個真正的命令列
+介面、把錄製轉成程式碼,以及一級的 HTTP / SQL / Email / PDF / 等待步驟。
+每項功能都提供 headless Python API、``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具,以及
+視覺化 Script Builder 項目,並有 headless 測試覆蓋——網路、SMTP、PDF
+後端皆以注入方式測試,完全不會碰到外部系統。
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+命令列介面
+==========
+
+套件現在會安裝 ``je_auto_control`` console script,可在 shell 或 CI 中
+執行與檢查動作檔::
+
+    je_auto_control run script.json --var user=alice --dry-run
+    je_auto_control validate script.json      # 別名:lint
+    je_auto_control list-commands --filter mouse --json
+    je_auto_control fmt script.json --check
+    je_auto_control record out.json --duration 5
+    je_auto_control codegen script.json --target pytest -o test_flow.py
+    je_auto_control version
+
+``run`` 直接執行(``--dry-run`` 只驗證並列出步驟而不實際操作),
+``validate`` / ``lint`` 檢查結構並拒絕未知指令,``fmt`` 標準化 JSON,
+``record`` 錄製輸入,``codegen`` 產生程式碼(見下),``list-commands``
+列出執行器即時的指令目錄。
+
+
+程式碼產生
+==========
+
+把錄製或動作檔轉成可提交、可執行的程式碼::
+
+    from je_auto_control import generate_code, generate_code_file
+
+    code = generate_code(actions, target="pytest", style="calls")
+    generate_code_file("flow.json", "test_flow.py", target="pytest")
+
+``target`` 可為 ``pytest`` / ``python`` / ``robot``。預設的 ``calls``
+風格會把每個 ``AC_*`` 指令對應到 facade 呼叫(``ac.click_mouse(...)``),
+流程控制與私有 adapter 則退回 ``ac.execute_action([...])``;``actions``
+風格則直接嵌入動作清單並透過執行器重播。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_generate_code``。CLI:``je_auto_control codegen``。
+
+
+HTTP / API
+==========
+
+不需額外相依的 HTTP(S) 客戶端,適合 UI + API 混合流程::
+
+    from je_auto_control import http_request
+
+    resp = http_request(
+        "https://api.example/items", method="POST",
+        json_body={"name": "Sam"},
+        headers={"X-Trace": "1"},
+        auth={"type": "bearer", "token": "..."},
+        timeout=30.0)
+    assert resp["status"] == 201
+
+回傳 ``{status, ok, headers, text, json, url}``;非 2xx 回應會被回傳而非
+丟出例外,因此可直接對狀態碼斷言。僅允許 ``http`` / ``https``。
+``AC_http_to_var`` 現在共用同一個客戶端,因此也能送 body、headers 與認證。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_http_request``。
+
+
+SQL
+===
+
+唯讀、參數化的 SQLite 查詢::
+
+    from je_auto_control import query_sqlite
+
+    rows = query_sqlite("app.db", "SELECT id, name FROM users")
+    count = query_sqlite("app.db",
+                         "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE active = ?",
+                         params=[1], fetch="scalar")
+
+查詢僅限單句唯讀的 ``SELECT`` / ``WITH``,以唯讀連線執行,且值一律以
+參數綁定(絕不字串拼接)。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_sql_to_var``(列 / 單列 / 純量存入變數)與
+``AC_assert_db``(對純量查詢以 eq / ne / lt / gt / contains / ... 斷言)。
+
+
+Email(SMTP)
+============
+
+透過標準庫寄信——例如流程的報告::
+
+    from je_auto_control import send_email
+
+    send_email(
+        {"sender": "bot@x.com", "to": ["qa@x.com"],
+         "subject": "Run passed", "body": "All green",
+         "attachments": ["report.html"]},
+        {"host": "smtp.x.com", "port": 587,
+         "username": "bot@x.com", "password": "..."})
+
+預設啟用 TLS(STARTTLS,或設定 ``use_ssl`` 時用隱式 SSL),使用已驗證
+憑證的預設 context;支援多收件人、CC、HTML 內文與檔案附件。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_send_email``。
+
+
+PDF
+===
+
+從 PDF 文件抽取文字並斷言其內容(可選的 ``pypdf`` 後端——
+``pip install je_auto_control[pdf]``)::
+
+    from je_auto_control import extract_pdf_text, assert_pdf_text
+
+    text = extract_pdf_text("invoice.pdf", pages=1)
+    assert_pdf_text("invoice.pdf", "Total: $50.00")
+
+執行器指令:``AC_pdf_to_var``(文字存入變數)與 ``AC_assert_pdf_text``
+(文字存在 / 不存在,可指定頁碼)。
+
+
+智慧等待
+========
+
+兩個用來取代不可靠 ``sleep`` 的等待::
+
+    from je_auto_control import (
+        wait_until_file, wait_until_port, wait_until_process)
+
+    wait_until_file("~/Downloads/report.pdf", stable_for_s=1.0)
+    wait_until_port("127.0.0.1", 8080, timeout_s=30.0)
+    wait_until_process("myserver", present=True, timeout_s=30.0)
+
+``wait_until_file`` 會在檔案存在、達到 ``min_size`` 位元組、且大小持續
+``stable_for_s`` 秒不變(下載寫完)後回傳。``wait_until_port`` 會在
+``host:port`` 可接受 TCP 連線後回傳——是啟動伺服器的最佳搭檔。兩者都
+回傳 ``WaitOutcome`` 並有硬性 ``timeout_s`` 上限。
+
+``wait_until_process`` 會在名稱含目標字串的行程出現(或 ``present=False``
+時結束)後回傳——是 ``launch_process`` / ``kill_process`` 的搭檔(需
+psutil)。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_wait_for_file``、``AC_wait_for_port``、``AC_wait_for_process``。
+
+
+安全性
+======
+
+HTTP 與 SMTP 強制 ``http`` / ``https`` 或使用已驗證憑證的 TLS,並設定明確
+逾時;SQL 為唯讀且參數綁定;所有使用者提供的檔案路徑在 I/O 前都會以
+``realpath`` 解析。

+授權政策閘門
+===========
+
+``build_sbom`` 會記錄每個元件的授權*名稱*,但從未對它做判斷 —— copyleft 或其他不被允許的授權

+JSON Web Token(JWT)
+===================

+**黃金影像視覺回歸**與**宣告式有限狀態機**執行器。兩者都提供 facade
+re-export、``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具與 Script Builder 項目,並有

+
+視覺回歸(黃金影像)
+====================
+
+擷取基準圖,之後在畫面偏離時讓該次執行失敗——等同於截圖版的 snapshot
+測試::
+
+    from je_auto_control import take_golden, compare_to_golden
+
+    take_golden("goldens/login.png")                      # 建立基準

+        result.write_diff("goldens/login.diff.png")
+        print(result.summary)
+
+``compare_to_golden`` 回傳 ``DiffResult``(``matched``、``diff_pct``、
+``differing_pixels``、標示差異的 ``diff_image``);``tolerance`` 是允許
+差異的像素百分比,``per_pixel_threshold`` 可忽略各通道的細微雜訊。
+``MaskRegion`` 可排除動畫 / 易變區域。純 PIL——不需 OpenCV / SciPy。
+
+執行器指令:
+
+* ``AC_take_golden`` — 擷取並存基準圖(可選 ``region``)。
+* ``AC_assert_visual`` — 把畫面與黃金影像比對,不符即拋例外(可存
+  ``diff_path``)。**首跑**(基準不存在)時會擷取基準並通過,除非

+==================

+框架會發出原始訊號(``observability`` 指標、``run_history`` 時長),但沒有把它們轉成 SLO、錯誤
+預算或燃燒率警示的運維層。本功能補上:在一段視窗的結果紀錄上計算 SLI、對目標計算錯誤預算,以及
+Google SRE workbook 的**多視窗多燃燒率**警示。

+新功能 (2026-06-19) — 原生 UI 控制
+====================================
+
+物件級桌面自動化:透過 OS 無障礙 API 讀取與操作原生控制項,而非點像素或
+OCR 文字。對原生 app 而言,這比座標/影像自動化**可靠得多**——控制項以
+name / role / app / **AutomationId** 定位,因此版面改變也不會壞。
+
+無障礙層先前只能 *列出*、*尋找*、*點擊* 元素;現在還能透過控制模式
+*操作* 它們。走完整五層(facade、``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具、Script
+Builder),並提供 Windows UIAutomation 後端;無法執行該動作的後端會拋出
+清楚的 ``AccessibilityNotAvailableError``。
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+讀取與設定值
+============
+
+::
+

+
+    # 直接讀 textbox / combo 的值(不用 OCR)。
+    user = control_get_value(name="Username", app_name="myapp.exe")
+
+    # 一次設定值(不必逐鍵輸入 / 處理焦點)。
+    control_set_value("alice@example.com", automation_id="emailField")

+``control_set_value`` 透過 Value pattern 寫入,成功回傳 ``True``。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_control_get_value``、``AC_control_set_value``。
+
+
+呼叫與切換
+==========
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import control_invoke, control_toggle
+
+    control_invoke(name="Sign in")          # 按下按鈕
+    control_toggle(name="Remember me")      # 切換核取方塊 / 開關

+``control_toggle`` 切換核取方塊/開關(Toggle pattern)。兩者成功皆回傳
+``True``。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_control_invoke``、``AC_control_toggle``。
+
+
+讀取表格 / 清單
+================
+
+::
+
+    from je_auto_control import read_control_table
+
+    rows = read_control_table(name="Results", app_name="myapp.exe")
+    # -> [["Sam", "30"], ["Lee", "25"], ...]

+``read_control_table`` 透過 Grid pattern 把 grid/table/list 控制項讀成
+逐列的儲存格字串——不用 OCR 的可靠桌面資料抓取。
+
+執行器指令:``AC_read_table``。
+
+
+定位控制項
+==========
+
+每個呼叫都接受相同的比對條件——提供能唯一辨識控制項的任意組合:
+
+* ``name`` — 控制項的無障礙名稱 / 標籤。
+* ``role`` — 控制項型別。
+* ``app_name`` — 所屬應用程式(例如 ``notepad.exe``)。
+* ``automation_id`` — 最穩定的識別碼(Windows AutomationId),不受版面或
+  在地化影響。
+
+
+平台
+====
+
+Windows UIAutomation 後端(透過 ``comtypes``)實作全部四個動作。在尚無
+控制驅動的平台/後端上,呼叫會拋出帶清楚訊息的
+``AccessibilityNotAvailableError``,而非默默失敗。後端可抽換,因此邏輯以
+注入的 fake 後端做單元測試——不需真實 GUI。

+分層設定解析器

+``AssetStore`` 則是每環境的扁平結構。它們都無法組成一個有序的 ``defaults < file < env < CLI`` 優先序
+堆疊並做深度 dict 合併,也無法回報*每個鍵由哪一層勝出*。本功能補上這個 12-factor 解析器。
+
+純標準函式庫(``copy``);不匯入 ``PySide6``。各層為呼叫端提供的純 mapping(env 層由外部傳入,絕不
+隱含讀取 ``os.environ``),因此解析在 CI 中具決定性。

+新功能 (2026-06-19) — 彈窗看門狗
+====================================
+
+無人值守自動化失敗的第一大主因,是腳本沒寫到的未預期對話框——UAC 提示、
+「工作階段即將過期」橫幅、Windows Update 通知、電子報彈窗。彈窗看門狗以
+並行的守衛執行緒監看註冊的 pattern,並在**獨立於主步驟序列**之外將其關閉,
+讓長時間執行得以持續。
+
+這由社群痛點研究指出為無人值守的頭號失敗主因。走完整五層(facade、
+``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具、Script Builder),且完全 headless——matcher
+與 action 皆可注入,因此不需真實桌面即可單元測試。
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:

+
+
+快速開始

+
+    # 自動關閉任何標題含「Update Available」的視窗。
+    default_popup_watchdog.add_window_rule("Update Available", action="close")

+    default_popup_watchdog.stop()
+
+``action`` 為 ``"close"``(關閉相符視窗)或要按的鍵名(``"enter"`` /
+``"esc"`` / ...)。守衛在背景執行緒輪詢,並把每次關閉記錄在
+``default_popup_watchdog.hits``。
+
+
+自訂規則
+========
+
+對於非視窗的彈窗,註冊一條把*偵測器*與*關閉器*配對的通用規則::
+
+    from je_auto_control import PopupWatchdog, WatchdogRule
+
+    watchdog = PopupWatchdog(poll_interval_s=0.5)

+``jaro_winkler`` 與 ``jaccard`` / ``dice`` 回傳 ``[0, 1]`` 相似度。``similarity`` 是統一入口 —— 直接回傳
+Jaro/Jaccard/Dice,並把編輯距離轉成 ``1 - distance / max_len``,讓所有度量在同一尺度上可比較。
+
+執行器命令
+----------
+
+``AC_text_similarity`` 對兩個字串 ``a`` / ``b`` 與選用的 ``metric`` 回傳 ``{score}``。它以 MCP 工具
+``ac_text_similarity`` 以及 Script Builder 中 **Data** 分類下的命令提供。

+========================================
+新功能 (2026-06-19) — 無人值守可靠性
+========================================
+
+三個針對無人值守與登入自動化的社群痛點修復:產生 2FA 驗證碼、操作原生
+檔案對話框、以及拒絕在鎖定畫面上動作。每項都走完整五層(facade、
+``AC_*`` 執行器指令、MCP 工具、Script Builder),且完全 headless——外部
+步驟皆為決定性或可注入,因此不需 2FA、真實對話框或鎖定工作階段即可單元
+測試。
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+
+2FA 登入的 OTP / TOTP
+=====================
+
+2FA 會擋住自動登入。把 base32 secret 存好(最好放進 secrets store),在
+流程中即時產生當前驗證碼::
+
+    from je_auto_control import generate_totp, verify_totp
+
+    code = generate_totp(secret)          # 當下的 6 碼 TOTP
+    type_text(code)
+
+``AC_otp_to_var`` 會把驗證碼寫進流程變數供下一步使用::
+
+    ["AC_otp_to_var", {"secret": "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP", "var": "otp"}]
+    ["AC_type_keyboard", {"keycode": "${otp}"}]
+
+重用支撐遠端桌面驗證的 TOTP 引擎。執行器指令:``AC_otp_to_var``;
+MCP 工具:``ac_generate_otp``。
+
+
+原生檔案對話框
+==============
+
+錄製器抓不到 OS 的檔案開啟/儲存/資料夾對話框,大家只好手刻「輸入路徑 +
+Enter」。``handle_file_dialog`` 一次搞定::
+
+    from je_auto_control import handle_file_dialog
+
+    handle_file_dialog("C:/reports/out.csv", action="save")
+
+``action`` 為 ``open`` / ``save`` / ``folder``(自動選預設對話框標題),
+或傳明確的 ``window_title``;它會等對話框、輸入路徑、按 ``confirm_key``
+(預設 Enter)。等視窗/輸入/確認三步透過可注入的 :class:`FileDialogDriver`。
+執行器指令:``AC_handle_file_dialog``。
+
+
+鎖定工作階段守衛
+================
+
+無人值守在工作站鎖定或 RDP 斷線時會默默失敗——輸入會 no-op 或拋例外。
+先檢查::
+
+    from je_auto_control import ensure_interactive_session, is_session_locked
+
+    ensure_interactive_session()          # 鎖定時拋例外
+    if is_session_locked():
+        ...
+
+Windows 上以開啟 input desktop 偵測(鎖定時會失敗);其他平台除非提供自訂
+probe,否則回報「未鎖定」。執行器指令:``AC_assert_session_active``——放在
+無人值守腳本最前面,讓它清楚地失敗,而非送出幽靈點擊。

+"""Record agent/LLM activity as OpenTelemetry GenAI-convention spans.

+When automation drives an LLM agent, you want the same observability an
+OpenTelemetry backend gives a service: per-operation spans carrying token usage,
+model, and status. ``AgentTrace`` records spans whose attributes follow the
+OTel **GenAI semantic conventions** (``gen_ai.operation.name``,
+``gen_ai.system``, ``gen_ai.request.model``, ``gen_ai.usage.input_tokens`` /
+``output_tokens``, ``gen_ai.tool.name``) and the convention span name
+``"{operation} {model}"`` — so :meth:`AgentTrace.to_otel` output drops straight
+into an OTLP exporter, while :meth:`summary` rolls up cost/latency for a run.
+
+It pairs with trajectory evaluation: record the run here, score it there. Pure
+standard library (no ``opentelemetry`` dependency); the clock is injectable so
+durations are deterministically testable. Imports no ``PySide6``.

+"""Step-through debugger and tracer for action lists.
+
+Run an action list one command at a time with breakpoints, single-step,
+and live variable inspection — the missing developer affordance for
+authoring flows. Stepping reuses one :class:`Executor` instance so script
+variables (``${name}`` interpolation, ``AC_set_var`` …) persist across
+steps exactly as they would in a normal run.
+
+:func:`trace_actions` is the stateless one-shot form: run a list (or
+``dry_run`` to only plan it) and get a per-step trace of command and
+result — wired into the executor / MCP / Script Builder.
+
+Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``.

+"""Just-in-time credential leases — zero standing privilege for secrets.
+
+Instead of handing automation a long-lived secret, a consumer takes a
+*lease*: a short-lived token bound to a secret name with an expiry. The real
+value is fetched only at :meth:`CredentialBroker.redeem` time, only while the
+lease is valid, through a pluggable *resolver* (e.g. an unlocked
+:class:`~je_auto_control.utils.secrets.secret_store.SecretManager`'s ``get``,
+or an environment lookup). Expired or revoked leases yield nothing.
+
+Secret values never enter executor/MCP records: the executor surface manages
+the lease *lifecycle* only (``AC_lease_secret`` / ``AC_lease_valid`` /
+``AC_revoke_lease`` / ``AC_lease_active``). :meth:`redeem`, which returns the
+real value, is a deliberate Python-API-only escape hatch for code that must
+handle the secret.
+
+Pure standard library; imports no ``PySide6``. Clock and resolver are
+injectable, so expiry is deterministically testable without real time or a
+real vault.

+primitives that fill that gap:
+
+* **RFC 6901 JSON Pointer** — address one location (``/a/b/0``).
+* **RFC 6902 JSON Patch** — an ordered op list (add/remove/replace/move/copy/
+  test); plus ``make_patch`` to diff two documents.
+* **RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch** — a recursive merge where ``null`` deletes.
+
+Useful for config-drift detection, partial updates in flows, HTTP PATCH bodies,
+and reporting golden-master deltas. Pure standard library (``json`` + ``copy``);
+fully deterministic; imports no ``PySide6``.

+(``minLength``/``maxLength``/``pattern``), the array keywords
