add Claude Computer Use HTTP API
Exposes mouse/keyboard control and screenshot retrieval over a localhost-only HTTP server, wired into the SPICE display loop so the last frame is captured for /api/v1/screenshot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Claude Computer Use Integration
72+
73+
The client includes an integration with Claude Computer Use, exposing the remote desktop to Claude over a local HTTP API. This lets Claude see the screen and drive mouse/keyboard input on the remote machine.
74+
75+
### Features
76+
77+
- Claude can see the remote desktop screen via screenshots
78+
- Claude can control mouse movement and clicks
79+
- Claude can send keyboard input
80+
- Simple HTTP API for Claude to interact with the remote desktop
81+
- Toggle to enable/disable Claude Computer Use
82+
83+
### API Endpoints
84+
85+
- `GET /api/v1/status` - Get the current status of Claude Computer Use
86+
- `GET /api/v1/screenshot` - Get a screenshot of the current desktop
87+
- `POST /api/v1/control` - Send control commands to the remote desktop
88+
89+
The API binds to `127.0.0.1:8080` by default.
