This file covers only what differs on Linux. The observe-act loop, refs, JSON envelope, sessions and tracing are the same on every platform.
Needs Ubuntu 24.04+ (x86_64 or aarch64), a graphical session of the signed-in
user and a running AT-SPI bus. Other distributions need the at-spi2-core bridge
fix dc0dc33; Ubuntu 22.04's bridge aborts on Action.GetActions. The archive
loader floor is glibc 2.35. Run the CLI inside the target apps' desktop session:
the session bus, display and runtime directory come from its environment. A TTY
login, an SSH shell without session variables, a container without a bus or
another user's session sees no apps. GNOME is the measured desktop; X11 and
Wayland sessions both work and differ in input, capture and window control.
Observation and semantic actions need no helper tool.
