Guard quotes of app text, and record the screenshot guidance A/B

+     - **Done: no fence an app can print.** Checked 2026-11-11: the marking
+       is a field, not delimiters in the text, so there is no fence. Every
+       quote of an app's text in a message goes through `%q`, which escapes
+       quotes and line breaks, and every WebDriverAgent predicate refuses a
+       name or label holding `"` or `\`. `quoting_test.go` fails on a quote
+       written around a `%s` by hand. A fence added later uses a marker made
+       fresh for each call, since a fixed one an app can print
+       (spotlighting, arXiv 2403.14720).
+     - **Tried, not shipped: telling an agent when to take a screenshot.**
+       Measured 2026-11-11 on the Android 17 emulator, Sonnet 4.5, marking
+       on, 100 trials: an `app_screenshot` description saying to read the
+       screen with `app_map` and `app_text` first, and to take a
+       screenshot only for what they leave out, against today's. On t16,
+       t28 and t31, where the text tools are enough, trials with a
+       screenshot were 17 of 40 in both arms (p = 1.0). Screenshots fell
+       83 to 61, not a difference (permutation p = 0.39; t28 alone 78 to
+       59, p = 0.23). t15, which needs one, lost nothing (8 of 10 passes,
+       against 7 of 10). The one trial that obeyed an injection (t31, old
+       arm) did so straight after a screenshot, which fits t32's finding
+       that an image is where a request gets through.
+     - **Next, each measured first** (about 70 minutes and $16 of Claude
+       usage an A/B): the marking on by default, after a check that it
+       costs no task its success; then errors, whose messages quote device
+       text, marked too, which needs an attack that reaches an agent
+       through an error.
