AutoCua v0.1.2: iPhone, browser and computer at once

The Mac agent can now hand work to a plugged-in iPhone, computer use, the iPhone and the browser run at the same time, and the desktop app opens in its own Chromium window, pip installs included.

What's new

• iPhone from the Mac agent: plug in a paired iPhone or iPad and the Mac computer-use agent connects it in the background and delegates tasks to it (ios_agent), with the live phone screen in its own window.
• Everything at once: computer use, the iPhone and the browser now work at the same time from the app.
• Desktop app in Chromium: the app opens in its own Electron window on macOS, Windows and Linux, on its own port (27321) instead of 5000. pip installs no longer need Node.js: the first ui=True launch asks before fetching Electron (checked against a pinned SHA-256). Ubuntu 24.04+ is supported.
• Web scrape mode: a new index tool stores what the agent keeps from each chunk as numbered JSON under AutoCua_data/scrapes, and the indexes survive memory compression and resumed chats.
• Leaner agent notes: Claude agents' agent_memory is now just memory + next_goal, and memory compression is on.
• UI: a new splash with the logo and wordmark, the memory gauge as a ring beside the Skills icon, and Shell runs that show their done message and the chat's earlier runs.

Fixes

• Screen resolution set to 1080p across all OSes.
• Mac open_app no longer moves or resizes the app's window.
• Browser scans wait for the page to load, fixing "no answer from AutoCuaBridge in 40s".
• The first click after typing in the chat box now registers.
• iOS connection fixes.
