 - Added a genuine native desktop backend for computer use, bundled in the core addon on every published platform: macOS Quartz/CGEvent, Windows Win32/`SendInput`, and a pure-Rust Linux X11 backend (`x11rb` capture over the display socket, XTest input with keysym mapping) that links no GUI system libraries — so Linux x64/arm64, glibc and musl are all supported and headless hosts are unaffected. Wayland sessions work through XWayland. Execute batches enforce a 60-second native deadline (`DESKTOP_DEADLINE_EXCEEDED`) and never emit input after it expires; unsupported pure-Wayland capture and out-of-XTest-range or negative-origin coordinate layouts fail closed.
 
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed macOS computer screenshots taking roughly 30 seconds under Bun by replacing xcap's deprecated window-list capture with a bounded system capture path; direct screenshots now complete in under half a second on the verified host.
