## 📈 Adoption Path

### User Type: Input-Only (Automation Scripts)
```python
# v0.1.0
from vnc_agent_bridge import VNCAgentBridge

with VNCAgentBridge('host') as vnc:
    vnc.mouse.left_click(100, 100)
    vnc.keyboard.type_text("Hello")

# Still works in v0.2.0 (no changes needed)
# Upgrade anytime, no breaking changes
```

### User Type: Screenshots + Input (Visual Verification)
```python
# v0.1.0
from vnc_agent_bridge import VNCAgentBridge

with VNCAgentBridge('host') as vnc:
    vnc.mouse.left_click(100, 100)
    # No screenshot feature, work around it...

# v0.2.0 (install with: pip install vnc-agent-bridge[capture])
from vnc_agent_bridge import VNCAgentBridge

with VNCAgentBridge('host') as vnc:
    vnc.mouse.left_click(100, 100)
    vnc.screenshot.save('result.png')  # NEW!
    
    # Optionally: verify programmatically
    img = vnc.screenshot.capture()
    # AI processing...
```

### User Type: Full Automation (Testing + Recording)
```python
# v0.1.0
# Can't really do this well...

# v0.2.0 (install with: pip install vnc-agent-bridge[full])
from vnc_agent_bridge import VNCAgentBridge

with VNCAgentBridge('host') as vnc:
    # Start recording
    vnc.video.start_recording(fps=30.0)
    
    # Perform workflow
    vnc.mouse.left_click(100, 100)
    vnc.keyboard.type_text("Test")
    
    # Verify with screenshot
    vnc.screenshot.save('checkpoint.png')
    
    # Transfer data via clipboard
    vnc.clipboard.send_text("important_data")
    
    # Stop and save
    frames = vnc.video.stop_recording()
    vnc.video.save_frames(frames, 'recording/')
```
