Could you build this?
Partial While an automation runner wrapping native APIs can be vibe-coded, reliably binding and exposing low-level Windows UI Automation (UIA) COM APIs into a clean Playwright-like tree is difficult systems work.
What it would actually take: The system requires deep integration with Windows UI Automation (UIA) COM interfaces in C++ or Rust, wrapping them in Node.js/TypeScript bindings to construct a robust virtual accessibility tree. It must handle asynchronous Win32 event hooks, DPI scaling, multi-monitor coordinates, and process isolation without crashing when interacting with diverse native GUI frameworks (WPF, WinForms, WinUI, Win32).
