The original title is about automating apps with no DOM, specifically Flutter/canvas editors, using coordinates only.

Short summary

When apps render entirely on canvas (Flutter Web, canvas editors), DOM-based automation fails completely — there are no elements to find. The author drove the Rive animation editor using Claude with coordinate-only automation: waiting for viewport stabilization, zooming screenshots to read canvas-painted text, verifying every click with visual evidence, and using rapid double-fire clicks for hierarchy interactions. The key lesson is that coordinate automation requires verification after every step, making it slow but reliable.

• •Canvas-rendered apps have no DOM — coordinate automation is the only interface available
• •Every click must be followed by a screenshot and visual confirmation before proceeding
• •Procedure transfers across apps: settle-wait → zoom-read → evidence-check → rapid double-fire
