Really interesting idea! The demo made me realize I just assumed screenshot-based control was the only option.

seems like this is for React Native, flutter won't expose the trees, bummer. Guess I'm stuck with Maestro

this will work with Flutter. agents will use screenshots instead of a11y snapshots instead. It will be just less efficient and a bit more token hungry
