Inspect, drive, and verify a running Windows app UI via winapp ui (UI Automation): find elements, click, type, read text/values, wait for state, take screenshots in WinUI, WPF, WinForms, Win32, or Electron apps. Use to check, test, or act on a live app; for WinUI XAML internals, use winui-devtools.
