Scaled screenshots for computer use are built but off in both config tables

Computer Use Notable

Screenshots could be scaled and zoomed to a region, but both config tables switch it off.

A scale parameter and a region-based batched schema are implemented, with both capability suppliers setting them false.

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

What

A new adaptive-resolution capability adds a scale parameter to the screenshot and batched computer-use tools and switches to a richer batched schema with a region for zoom. Both places in this build that supply the capability set it to false, so absent a server-supplied config, no user sees scale.

Details
  • The two sources are the terminal computer-use descriptor, which sets adaptive resolution false alongside native screenshot filtering, and the computer-use settings defaults object.
  • That defaults object is merged with remote configuration under tengu_malort_pedway; the same local fallback also has the whole feature disabled.
  • The scale description tells the model that coordinates stay in the full-resolution frame regardless of the returned image size.
  • The capability key is new in this release.
