browser_locate
Locate a DOM element by CSS selector and retrieve its physical screen coordinates for mouse_click. Use browser_overview to find appropriate selectors.
Instructions
Find a DOM element by CSS selector and return its physical screen coordinates — compatible directly with mouse_click. Prefer browser_click to find+click in one step. Prefer browser_overview to discover selectors. Caveats: Coordinates are captured at call time; if the page reflows before mouse_click, coords may be stale. Typed errors: code:'BrowserNotConnected' (call browser_open first), code:'ElementNotFound' (selector did not match — re-discover via browser_overview / browser_search).
