Elements can now be referenced by their
idattribute in filesystem paths instead of only by numeric index.Changes
Client path resolution (
fusedom-client.js):buildDOMTree(): Uses{id}.{tagname}format when element has an id attribute, falls back to{index}.{tagname}otherwisefindElementByPath(): Parses selectors as either numeric indices or ID strings, filtering by tag name in both casesDocumentation: Updated README.md, QUICKSTART.md, and index.html with examples of ID-based paths
Usage
Elements without IDs continue to use numeric indices. No breaking changes.
