Pointing at the element

Most reports are about one thing on the page. pickElement() turns the cursor into a crosshair, highlights whatever is under it, and resolves with a description of the element the reporter clicks: a short CSS selector, the tag, the visible text, the position on the page, and the useful attributes (id, name, role, aria-label, href, every data-*). Escape cancels. The click is swallowed, so picking a button does not also press it.

{
  "selector": "form#checkout > button:nth-of-type(2)",
  "tag": "button",
  "text": "Save order",
  "rect": { "x": 912, "y": 640, "width": 118, "height": 36 },
  "attributes": { "type": "submit", "data-testid": "save-order" }
}

The selector prefers an id or a data-testid on the element or an ancestor, then falls back to tag:nth-of-type steps, at most five deep. It is meant to be read by a person or an agent, and to land on the right file — not to be a stable locator for a test suite.
