v0.20.6

Highlights

• Faster, more reliable iOS automation — hostile-screen captures are up to 2× faster, deep private-AX snapshots recover more useful elements, and tap/text-entry handling is substantially more resilient on dynamic apps such as Bluesky.
• Evidence-based interaction outcomes — waits, taps, scrolls, swipes, and other gestures now distinguish confirmed effects from no-ops, surface ambiguity candidates, and explain when success could not be proven.
• Selector-targeted drag gestures — drag elements using selectors instead of brittle coordinates, with improved scroll-container selection across Android and Maestro paths.
• More control over captures and settling — scale screenshots directly and use --settle with scroll and back for more deterministic workflows.
• Stronger recording and replay reliability — Android recording now survives static screens, slow video finalization, and dead processes, while replay artifacts use a single authoritative ledger.
• Safer remote connections — daemon bearer tokens are no longer persisted, and forced reconnects authenticate release requests correctly.
