2,910 programmatically verified tasks built from an ontology of 97 canonical UI components. Holding the harness fixed and changing only observation and action space, GPT-5 mini scores 83.1% with accessibility-tree observations and 48.9% with coordinate-only pixel control. Across seven models, even the fastest config takes 3.7x the matched human reference trajectory time. (arXiv 2608.18307) Anyone benchmarking computer-use agents without controlling for observation modality is measuring the wrong thing.
