i got me a windows mcp setup running in a sandbox, so it can look at screenshots, see the UIA, and click things either by coordinate or by UIA.

i let it run overnight against a windows app i was working on, and that got it from mostly not working to mostly working.

the loop was

1. look at the code and specs to come up with tests 2. predict the result 3. try it 4. compare the prediction against rhe result 5. file bug report, or call it a success

and then switch to bug fixing, and go back around again. Worked really well in geminicli with the giant context window
