Add popup/interrupt watchdog for unattended automation#216
Merged
Conversation
Add a concurrent guard thread that watches for registered popups and dismisses them independently of the main flow — the #1 unattended-run failure cause per the practitioner-pain research. Generic matcher+action rules (window-title convenience builders + injectable custom rules); a failing rule is logged and skipped so the loop never dies. Wired through facade (PopupWatchdog / WatchdogRule / default_popup_watchdog), AC_watchdog_add/start/stop/list executor commands, ac_watchdog_* MCP tools, Script Builder entries, fake-driven headless tests, and v8 docs / README sections.

Summary
The practitioner pain-point research flagged this as the #1 cause of
unattended-automation failure: an unexpected dialog the script was never
coded for (UAC, "session expiring", Windows Update, a modal). The popup
watchdog runs a concurrent guard thread that watches for registered
patterns and dismisses them independently of the main step sequence.
(Re-targeted to
devafter #214 merged; diff is watchdog-only.)What's added (full five-layer wiring)
PopupWatchdog/WatchdogRule/default_popup_watchdog:generic matcher+action rules, window-title convenience builders
(
action="close"or a key to press), background poll thread,hitslog. A failing rule is logged and skipped — one bad rule never kills the
guard loop.

dismissal, error-swallowing resilience, start/stop lifecycle, and the
executor/MCP/builder wiring.
