Summary by cubic

Adds Zoom tool support to AnthropicCUAClient and wires it into V3CuaAgentHandler so Claude can request high‑res crops of specific screen regions. Improves inspection accuracy without extra navigation.

  • New Features
    • Enables enable_zoom for computer_20251124 models; converts zoom tool_use into an action with [x1,y1,x2,y2].
    • Adds setZoomedScreenshotProvider and captureZoomedScreenshot; falls back to full screenshot when unset.
    • Handler provides a zoomed screenshot via CDP clip and treats zoom as a no‑op action.
    • Adds unit tests for tool definition, action conversion, crop capture, and handler wiring.

Written for commit fac3ca1. Summary will update on new commits. Review in cubic

Add comprehensive test suite for the zoom tool functionality:
- Test enable_zoom is included in tool definition for computer_20251124 models
- Test enable_zoom is NOT included for older computer_20250124 models
- Test convertToolUseToAction handles zoom action with region
- Test takeAction captures cropped screenshot for zoom regions
- Test fallback to regular screenshot when zoomedScreenshotProvider not set
- Test setZoomedScreenshotProvider method exists and works

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implement the zoom tool for Anthropic's Computer Use API based on the
official documentation. The zoom tool allows Claude to view a specific
region of the screen at full resolution.

Changes:
- Add enable_zoom: true to tool definition for computer_20251124 models
  (Claude Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.5-20251101)
- Add setZoomedScreenshotProvider method to allow custom screenshot crop
- Add captureZoomedScreenshot method to capture region screenshots
- Handle zoom action in convertToolUseToAction with region coordinates
- Update takeAction to use zoomed screenshot provider for zoom actions
- Fallback to regular screenshot if zoomedScreenshotProvider not set

The zoom tool takes a region parameter with [x1, y1, x2, y2] coordinates
defining the top-left and bottom-right corners of the area to inspect.

Tests that verify the CUA handler properly handles zoom actions
as no-ops (since actual capture happens in AnthropicCUAClient.takeAction),
and validates the clip coordinate conversion logic.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wire up the Anthropic CUA zoom tool in the handler layer:

- Add setZoomedScreenshotProvider that uses CDP's clip parameter to
  capture a specific region [x1, y1, x2, y2] at full resolution
- Add zoom case in executeAction as a no-op (the actual zoomed
  screenshot is captured by AnthropicCUAClient.takeAction)
- Import AnthropicCUAClient for instanceof check

The zoom tool allows Claude to inspect specific screen regions in
detail by requesting a cropped screenshot at native resolution,
which is part of the computer_20251124 tool spec.

Confidence score: 4/5

  • This PR is likely safe to merge: the only reported issue is a test coverage gap (severity 5/10) rather than a confirmed runtime defect.
  • In packages/core/tests/unit/cua-handler-zoom.test.ts, the test currently verifies method existence but skips the Anthropic-specific setZoomedScreenshotProvider path, so zoom wiring regressions could slip through CI.
  • Pay close attention to packages/core/tests/unit/cua-handler-zoom.test.ts - strengthen assertions around the Anthropic zoom-provider path to catch real zoom behavior regressions.
