To type prompts into an Electron desktop assistant (VoiceOS here) and click its UI from a terminal agent, relaunch the app with --remote-debugging-port=9333 (check that Electron fuses don't disable it) and talk CDP to its renderer windows. Find the renderer's own IPC call for text input by reading the extracted app.asar (e.g. window.api.send('agent-text-send', {...})) and invoke it with Runtime.evaluate in the right window; this gives real typed turns instead of fragile keystroke injection. Screenshot with Page.captureScreenshot at turn end, because notch-style windows auto-collapse seconds after an answer. Smoke-test with the real feature's prompts if the user is watching; throwaway prompts like arithmetic annoyed the user.
