Found in the Ace desktop tools study (githubnext/ace#427, D2): Escape in Finder was refused and the old hint sent the agent into a click-and-retry loop that could not succeed. Tracks #13.

) * fix(channel): pin desktop-tools with clearer menu and key refusals Moves desktop-tools from 20cb1b5 to 034a695: - githubnext/desktop-tools#15: a menu path with no match names the missing title, its level and the titles at that level, and suggests "Save…" for "Save". - githubnext/desktop-tools#14: a key with no focused receiver says why, and points to the menu. desktop_menu's description now says titles match exactly, ellipses included. The docs point to Settings → Computer use for permissions. Found in the desktop tools study, D1 and D2 (#427). * chore: confirm package.json notes after the desktop-tools pin bump

In the Ace desktop tools study (githubnext/ace#427, scenario D2),
desktop_keyEscape to a Finder window was refused with "Click a control, then inspect the window again." The agent clicked a file row and tried again, which can't work: the key needs a focused element in the snapshot.The key refusal now says the key has no verified receiver. It points to the menu when the command has one, and says to check that the new snapshot reports focus before retrying. The insert refusal now names the text field. Fixing the underlying limit is #13.
