Agents were clicking invisible duplicated slides from nuka-carousel when wrapAround=true,
because cloned elements marked with
inert="true"andaria-hidden="true"were stillbeing detected as interactive. This caused invalid click coordinates and missed actions.
Added visibility filtering to skip elements that are inert, aria-hidden, have zero size,
or are positioned off-screen before interaction.
Summary by cubic
Stops clicks on cloned, hidden slides in carousels (e.g., nuka-carousel with wrapAround) by filtering inert, aria-hidden, zero-size, and fully offscreen elements from clickable detection. Ensures agents click only visible, valid targets.
