We could not finish testing this tool: The official Mac DMG contains a PowerPC-only Mach-O executable (ppc), incompatible with this arm64 Mac. open -n failed with Launch Services error -10665; direct --version failed with bad CPU type in executable (exit 127). Computer-use could not attach to the app. No drawing window opened.
