feat(accessibility): implement Artemis Accessibility Helper for robust UI hierarchy capture

- Introduce ArtemisAccessibilityHelper APK (API 24 to 37+) as a conflict-free, high-performance replacement for UiAutomator:
  * Eliminates native UiAutomator waitForIdle() timeouts, reducing DOM dump latency from ~3s to ~15ms and maintaining resilience against infinite animations.
  * Implements a multi-tier fallback hierarchy discovery strategy (multi-window layer enumeration -> active window fallback -> input/accessibility focus backtracking) with adaptive progressive backoff for seamless page transition capture.
  * Resolves node drop defect caused by 32-bit hash collisions on recurring virtual view IDs in long lists and WebViews by utilizing bounded recursion (MAX_DEPTH=75, MAX_NODES=8000).
  * Strict W3C XML 1.0 character sanitization filtering invalid ASCII control codes and escaping attribute whitespace (
, 
, 	) to preserve multiline text formatting.
  * Enriches semantic parsing with stateDescription (API 30+ Jetpack Compose), screenReaderFocusable, paneTitle, heading, error, and tooltip attributes.
  * Multi-window metadata propagation tagging each node with window-id, window-type, and window-layer.
  * Adds dual-path standalone build script (build_apk.sh) producing a clean 29KB APK without Gradle daemon overhead alongside standard Gradle Kotlin DSL.
- Integrate AccessibilityClient into Artemis Python runtime with automatic bundled APK detection, self-healing installation, and port forwarding.
- Add unit test suite covering AccessibilityClient endpoints and atomic snapshot parsing.

+ * Capabilities:
+ * 1. Zero WaitForIdle hangs: Bypasses UIAutomator's waitForIdle() timeout.
+ * 2. Multi-window penetration: Captures App, Dialog, System UI, IME Keyboard, Split-Screen.
+ * 3. Rich semantic extraction: Captures errorText, isHeading, editable, paneTitle, tooltip.
+ * 4. Atomic screenshot snapshot: On API 30+, captures hardware bitmap and DOM tree simultaneously.
+ * 5. W3C XML 1.0 compliance: Strict character sanitization prevents Python parse failures.
