"""
Pixel-based hover detection for ChatGPT sidebar.
Uses classical CV approach (no vision LLMs needed):
1. Capture sidebar screenshot
2. Divide into row bands
3. Measure background brightness deviation from normal (249)
4. Highlighted row has largest deviation (~239-246 vs 249)
Achieves 100% accuracy on test images.
