Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows with sky.list_windows() and sky.list_apps(), then investigate the EnumWindows error and the codex-computer-use.exe helper process. Done means both calls enumerate windows and applications successfully and screen control works without the 0x80070003 error.
