macOS 27 no longer focuses/raises inactive windows when a synthetic mouse click lands on the window body. Title-bar clicks still work, but content-area clicks can interact without activating the window, so keyboard input stays on the previous frontmost app. Before posting LeftMouseDown, look up the AX element under the pointer and raise/focus the owning window and application via Accessibility.
