A bot asked to open a Threads profile clicked an empty strip ten times: it guessed coordinates
from a picture, and the web tools' description told it they didn't work on its own computer.
- marks.rs: the picture a bot gets has every button, link, field and menu item boxed and
numbered (a tiny built-in digit font, pure Rust), with the same numbers in a list. click /
typing / scroll / mouse_move take the number (ref) and land on the control's centre.
- Where the controls come from: macOS AX and Linux AT-SPI through agent-desktop on a person's
computer (desktop::elements); AT-SPI in the bots' own computer (box/a11y, after XBot's
box-a11y), web pages included. On a Mac a control whose spot another app's window covers gets
no number (topmost window at its centre must be the app's; the Dock's invisible full-screen
window doesn't count). open_app waits until the app is really in front.
- No going round in circles: a step that changed nothing says so; the same step (clicks within
16 px) a third time in a turn comes with a warning, from the fourth time it isn't run.
- The box (version 4): one TigerVNC server instead of Xvfb + x11vnc, the AT-SPI bus and registry
at boot, one browser launcher (box/browser, after XBot's box-chrome: same profile and CDP,
renderer accessibility, a launch lock, stale profile locks cleared). One docker exec per look
(list + picture, ~0.4 s). A brain updates an older box by itself when it has been idle a
minute (files and logins stay); a new box is never made from an older image.
- Gone: computer_use_read_app (the list is in every picture), computer_use_mouse_button, the
per-call picture for the phone (it gets a plain one), the stale browser_read note; the prompt
says web work goes through browser_* by number, and never to read browser cookie or history
files.
Tests: marks (numbering, drawing, fingerprints), box_numbers_are_exact on a box from the new
image (a Threads-like page: the icon links get numbers, Profile clicked by number, Chinese typed
into the numbered field, a click on nothing called out), box_screen_is_exact, VNC e2e 11/11 on
TigerVNC, Calculator 7×8=56 by numbers through the signed app on this Mac, remote_e2e 28/28,
153 unit tests; Linux build + 157 tests + x11_live.

- A bot's own computer is 「<bot> 的電腦」; this one and the account's others go by their names.
The server brain picked 你的電腦 by sorted host id, so a desktop left on the server won.
- 「我的電腦」 is the computer the person typed on (the relay names it); unknown means ask.
- A step moved back to the chosen computer tells the bot so.
- Composer chip and bot settings choose the computer by name; a screen asks the brain.
- A screen's 電腦 card and viewer show the brain's computer, not this one's box.
- A screen's chat copy that falls short asks for everything again instead of appending;
清除聊天記錄 on a screen clears the brain's chat.
- Model requests to a private address go through the person's computer first.
- Phone typing on the box sends the text the tool reads.

- 語言 繁體中文: a reply's Simplified characters are turned into Traditional with Taiwan
wording (zhconv), since some models (Qwen) slip despite the instruction.
- A brain on a server: browser steps go to the person's computer (its hands) unless the
server's own browser is named; 你的電腦 is listed first.
- update_bot says the default computer it set.

- On a server brain whose hands are the person's computer, 你的電腦 is that computer;
the server itself is 大腦伺服器 (its browser too), so 「我的 Mac」 means the Mac.
- A brain with its own hands no longer lists the account's other brains as computers.
- 查看電腦 lists the computers the bot really has, with their real names.
- Phone page: with several brains on, it opens the one the account's computers use.

- Brain answers /api/sync (per-screen deltas of settings and messages),
/api/sync/edit (small edit operations) and /api/sync/act (chat actions).
- Relay forwards host-to-host sync requests within one account (role mirror).
- Desktop: choose a brain in 手機與帳號; its own bots are kept aside; offline
shows the last copy read-only and reconnects by itself.
- Keys and tokens stay on the brain (redacted and restored on edits).
- Browser tools can run on another computer of the account (computer arg).
- anybot --serve: ANYBOT_DEVICE_LINK=1 and ANYBOT_BRAIN=名稱.

Rust/egui rebuild of Grok Bot as of 2026-11-04: chat with streaming
providers (xAI, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenCode Go, Ollama,
custom), tools and approvals, the bot's Docker computer, computer use on
macOS / Linux X11 / Wayland, AnyBot's browser with a full DevTools-based
toolset, the encrypted vault, pinned grid and sidebar sections, Markdown
with Mermaid diagrams, phone access through the relay, and the Linux
build and test scripts.
