Peekaboo is a full macOS UI automation CLI: capture/inspect screens, target UI
elements, drive input, and manage apps/windows/menus. Commands share a snapshot
cache and support --json/-j for scripting. Run peekaboo or
peekaboo <cmd> --help for flags; peekaboo --version prints build metadata.
Tip: run via polter peekaboo to ensure fresh builds.
