 Important:
 - `POST /action` expects an `action` plus a `target` object; do not send raw top-level `x` / `y` fields.

+    "action": "click",
+    "target": {"mode": "pixel", "x": 1300, "y": 740}

+Condition kinds mirror `POST /wait`:
+- `text`
+- `window`
+- `visual`

+The response returns per-attempt action output plus structured verification output.
