That makes sense. Feels like the fallback path might end up being the default for a lot of real-world apps.

Have you thought about combining weak a11y signals + OCR to build more stable refs over time, or is that too brittle in practice?

Yeah. Some of the tree is a mess, could try to ocr those bits. It's on the roadmap. :)

I will say I have some feelings about Wayland and how hard it makes some stuff I do. I'm visually impaired and have a whole stack of tools. But this project has helped me port over 70-80% of those tools and it helps me bridge some gaps on Wayland temporarily so I can get infra set up. It's also great for the many sites that Claude blocks for whatever reason (Reddit, I am a sub mod but the a11y on Reddit is terrible, AmEx, LinkedIn).
