#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Read the in-app browser / preview pane in the Hermes desktop GUI. The preview's content lives in the desktop renderer (a sandboxed ```` for URL tabs), so this tool round-trips through the gateway's blocking-prompt bridge — the same one ``read_terminal`` uses: tui_gateway emits ``preview.read.request``, the renderer serializes the active preview tab and answers with ``preview.read.respond``. This module is just schema + a thin dispatcher over the platform-injected callback. Lives in the ``desktop_ui`` toolset, which the GUI gateway enables only for desktop-sourced sessions.
