"""Cua-driver backend (macOS, Windows, Linux). Speaks MCP over stdio to `cua-driver`. The Python `mcp` SDK is async, so we run a dedicated asyncio event loop on a background thread and marshal sync calls through it. The same `cua-driver call ` surface (click, type_text, hotkey, drag, scroll, screenshot, launch_app, list_apps, list_windows, get_window_state, move_cursor, wait) works identically across macOS, Windows, and Linux — cua-driver's PARITY matrix marks the action tools VERIFIED on macOS and Windows in the cross-platform Rust port (`cua-driver-rs`). Linux is the most recent runtime (X11 today, Wayland via XWayland; pure- Wayland progress tracked upstream). It is enabled in `check_computer_use_requirements` alongside macOS and Windows. The plumbing in this file is OS-agnostic; per-host gaps (no DISPLAY, missing AT-SPI, etc.) surface as specific blocked checks via `hermes computer-use doctor` rather than failing silently. Install: - **macOS**: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trycua/cua/main/libs/cua-driver/scripts/install.sh)" - **Windows** (PowerShell): irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trycua/cua/main/libs/cua-driver/scripts/install.ps1 | iex After install, `cua-driver` is on $PATH and supports `cua-driver mcp` (stdio transport) which is what we invoke. The macOS path uses private SkyLight SPIs (SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo, _AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that aren't Apple-public and can break on OS updates. The Windows path in cua-driver-rs uses stable Win32 APIs (SendInput + UI Automation) — not subject to the same SPI breakage class.
