 - **Automated UX Verification:** A robust IPC mechanism via API hooks and a modular simulation suite allows for human-like simulation walkthroughs and automated regression testing of the full GUI lifecycle across multiple specialized scenarios.
 - **Headless Backend Service:** Optional headless mode allowing the core AI and tool execution logic to run as a decoupled REST API service (FastAPI), optimized for Docker and server-side environments (e.g., Unraid).
 - **Remote Confirmation Protocol:** A non-blocking, ID-based challenge/response mechanism for approving AI actions via the REST API, enabling remote "Human-in-the-Loop" safety.
