Desktop waits for a change, and starts the app it needs.

Added

• Desktop can start an application that is not running. apple_desktop_launch opens it behind whatever is in front and waits until it answers, up to 10 s, so its controls can be read and pressed while the person keeps their keyboard. It takes a bundle identifier and nothing else, is write-gated and scoped like the other driving tools, and shows the "Cupertino opened" notice. An application already running is left alone, one that takes the front anyway is sent back behind, and one never opened on this Mac is refused rather than stopping at a Gatekeeper dialog. With "Reach any application" on, any installed application can be started. A verb refused because an application is not running now says so and names the tool.

• Desktop can wait for a change instead of polling for it. apple_desktop_wait_for blocks until an element matching id, role, name or value appears, or with state: "absent" until it is gone, for up to a minute, and answers with the matches and their handles. It re-reads the tree every quarter second and sooner when the app posts a change. A timeout is an error saying what the last read saw, so a run stops there, and Esc in Claude Code ends it. It replaces chains of wait steps and find_elements calls.

• A run step can name its element instead of passing a handle. A step that takes a handle can take match and bundleId instead, and the element is found when the step runs, waiting up to two seconds by default for it to appear. A step can now press an item in a context menu the step before it opened, which a handle read before the run could never reach. A match that finds several elements fails the step unless index picks one.

• find_elements matches on value. A static text keeps its text in its value rather than its name, so it could only be found by reading the whole tree.

Fixed

• set_value reaches SwiftUI text fields. Written while the field was not focused, the text showed in the field and read back as written, but the app's own state never received it, so a prompt typed into Drakar and sent went out empty. set_value now focuses a text field before writing, without bringing the app forward, and says focused in its answer.

• Desktop says an app quit rather than calling it busy. A handle into an app that had crashed answered "did not answer in time. The app may be busy; retry". It now says the app quit, with its pid and the crash report when there is one.
