Check MCP locator suggestions and counts with the device agent
Build MCP locator strings with the SDK’s own locator builder

Answer Android system ANR and crash dialogs that come up mid-test
Add reducedMotion: turn Android animations off for a run and restore them after
Hold each tap only as long as its target needs, on every touch
Cut fixed waits from session start: daemon connect, Android device check, hooks probe
