Fixes 'no low surrogate in string' API error when page content contains
malformed Unicode characters. Uses toWellFormed() on Node.js 20+ with
graceful fallback on older versions.
Uses elementsFromPoint() to check if element is blocked by opaque
overlays (modals, cookie banners, etc.). Skips elements where an
opaque element with pointer-events appears above the target in
the stacking order.
Correctly shows only visible, interactable elements.
