Architecture
Implements input simulation via uinput for apps without accessibility support.
Overview
pcp-simulator is the Tier 3 fallback for the Portal Capability Protocol. When an app doesn't support native PCP (Tier 1) or AT-SPI2 (Tier 2), the simulator falls back to simulating keyboard and mouse input to interact with the app. This is the lowest-fidelity detection path but ensures universal compatibility — any GUI app can be controlled.
Data Flow
App without PCP/AT-SPI2 → pcpd falls back to simulator → simulates keyboard/mouse via uinput → app responds
