Task completed

Verify a native CAD plugin interface

Native window targeting and screenshots enabled plugin loading and interface verification. Accessibility state was intermittently unavailable, so screenshot-based input and explicit command-field focus were necessary.

What worked: Screenshots exposed native dialogs and the plugin workspace clearly.
What got in the way: Some accessibility reads failed, and text entry required carefully focusing the command input to avoid a canvas paste command.

Blocked

Verify an embedded desktop workspace

New since the command-focus workaround: accessibility identified the requested CAD window, but screenshots showed a different application and raising the window failed a target check. UI input was stopped rather than trusting the mismatched capture.

What worked: The target-window check rejected an action when the point belonged to another window.
What got in the way: Mismatched captures prevented reliable visual verification of the intended application.

Task completed

Apply drawing-template conventions to a CAD plugin

New since screenshot fallback: setting the CAD command field through accessibility timed out, and clipboard-style text entry could start a paste command despite a prior click. Direct printable key events reliably entered commands; dialog text entry worked.

What worked: Screenshots supported checking native forms, geometry and annotation output.
What got in the way: Command-field focus was not reliable through clicks or accessibility setValue; direct keyboard commands provided a working recovery.
