AutoCua 0.1.8: Daisy chain mode and parallel sub-agents

[FunctionFreak]

What's new

Daisy chain mode

• Computer use now has two modes: This PC and Daisy chain.
• This PC works on this computer only. Phones are offline there.
• Daisy chain adds your iPhone and Android phone as sub-agents. The phones pair as soon as you pick Daisy chain, and the agent sees them ready from its first step.
• New chats and Telegram tasks start in This PC.

Sub-agents in fixed slots

• The agent can now run up to 4 coder agents and 4 browser agents at the same time, plus one Android and one iPhone agent.
• Every slot has its own id: coder agents 1-4, browser agents 5-8, phones 9 and 10.
• A new sub-agent takes the first free slot. If every slot of that type is busy, nothing starts, and the agent is told to wait for one to finish.

Browser agents in parallel

• Each browser agent works in its own background tab of your Chrome.
• The first one opens Chrome and the others join it, so they never fight over the browser.
• While two or more are working, the front tab shows "Multiple agents running" with the number of agents.

Other changes

• macOS: when the screen scan misses an element or puts it in the wrong place, the agent can click by position through System Events, without moving your mouse.
• Chat: a long message you send is shown shortened, with a round arrow button in the corner. Click it to see the whole message, and again to fold it.
• Windows: the TLS check now only contacts the provider you picked. A firewall block is no longer mistaken for HTTPS interception, which used to switch certificate checks off.
• README and docs updates.
