verb:argument — the chained-argv form of a step.

One invocation performing many actions is the cheapest possible programmability: no protocol, no daemon, nothing to install. It is what cliclick and xdotool have always done, and it collapses N process spawns into one — which matters less for the spawn cost (~3ms) than for doing a single relocation pass instead of N.

The verbs deliberately mirror the flow file’s actions one-for-one, so learning either teaches the other. That rule is borrowed from tmux’s control mode: the protocol’s verbs are the command set.
