# Computer use
|
|
|
|
Computer use is a revocable mode that combines observation, semantic actions,
|
|
portal input, and a visible ARC overlay. It is never implicitly enabled by a
|
|
normal chat turn.

## Actuator priority
|
|
|
|
1. Domain skill or app API.
|
|
2. App D-Bus/GIO action.
|
|
3. AT-SPI named action or stable reference.
|
|
4. GNOME Shell window/focus helper.
|
|
5. Vision coordinates for broken accessibility.
|
|
6. Opt-in ydotool/X11 fallback.
|
|
|
|
The primary Wayland input path is XDG RemoteDesktop plus EIS/libei. After
|
|
portal consent, Jarvis opens `ConnectToEIS` and injects pointer/keyboard
|
|
events through a built-in libei sender. `JARVIS_LIBEI_BRIDGE` is an optional
|
|
override. If EIS is unavailable, the helper falls back to portal Notify
|
|
methods instead of refusing readiness. Screenshot frames are downscaled for vision,
|
|
kept in temporary storage, and removed on revoke unless trace retention is
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
## Safety rules
|
|
|
|
- Grant is off by default and dies on lock screen.
|
|
- Password/PAM roles are refused.
|
|
- Dangerous keys and destructive targets need confirmation.
|
|
- Default budget is 20 actions; hard cap is 100.
|
|
- Each action gets a visible target highlight and audit record.
|
|
- Three state-changing steps with no observed change abort the run.
