- object
  - `tree` object: Recursive tree of accessibility nodes

## Other responses

- `409`: The route needs a live page session. Two types share this status and both clear the same way, by connecting: `not_connected` when nothing is attached at all, and `page_not_attached` when the browser is alive but its page session is not — Chrome closed the tab or detached the inspector, which parks the connection at browser level rather than tearing it down. Both carry `remedy` (`browser_connect action:connect`) and `remedyPath` (`POST /v1/browser/connect`). Branch on `error.type`, never on the 409 alone; the other 409s on browser routes (`conflict`, `dialog_pending`, `browser_consent_required`, `target_leased`, `instance_unknown`, `resource_admission_full`) must not be retried, and one of them mints a second OS consent prompt per attempt.
