the head renders nothing, so the hierarchy dump drops it and so does the
enumeration the picker walks, but a selector still resolved into it: a
whole-page findAll answered with <head> and <title> here and with
neither on the goja host, which is a divergence the moment a state
selector asks a question every element has an answer to.
the fixture differs one state at a time: a disabled button and an
aria-disabled role control, a box ticked by script with no checked
attribute beside one cleared by script that has it, and a select whose
first option is selected without the markup saying so anywhere.
half the states are asked inside one container, because a state the
whole page has an opinion about answers with most of the document and a
want list nobody can check by reading.
a multi-key object selector concatenates its parts into one compound,
and a type selector is valid only at the head of one, so {id, secure}
built '[id="pwd"]input[type="password"]' and querySelectorAll threw.
an element's text is its whole subtree's text on web and on ios, so every ancestor of a matching element matched too, up to the root. a match a descendant also makes is now dropped, in internal/hierarchy, in the chrome xpath translation and in the page-side web runtime, so all three resolvers name the same element. a raw attribute now matches on a substring (exact for true/false) the way the docs describe, and tree-level FindBySelector considers the root, so ax.find("id:page") and ax.find({id: "page"}) agree.
The V8 host names a web target by data-testid and TapSelector translates that
selector into a CSS attribute match, but the dump carried no such attribute
and no alias could supply one, since an alias only redirects to a key that
already holds the value. tree.Find was therefore always nil for exactly the
selectors examples/folio-web tags with.

Selector matching is written once per runtime: internal/hierarchy over the
dump, web-runtime.ts over the DOM. Nothing made the two agree, and a
selector that resolves on one and not the other is silent, since an empty
match yields no action and the run still passes.
