Training-free KV cache compression is essential for deploying vision-language GUI agents under memory and latency constraints, yet existing methods are designed for generic language workloads and ignore the distinctive structure of GUI interaction traces. We characterize three GUI-specific workload properties — high inter-frame visual redundancy, extremely small UI-element spatial footprints, and near-uniform cross-layer attention sparsity — that cause existing schemes to retain as few as 39% of oracle-important KV pairs at the standard 20% budget. To address this, we propose **ST-Lite**, a training-free compression scheme whose three components each target one property: Trajectory-aware Semantic Gating (TSG) filters redundant historical frames, Component-centric Spatial Saliency (CSS) preserves fine-grained element boundaries, and a flat per-layer budget avoids hierarchical misallocation. Across seven GUI benchmarks and two backbones in the deployment-relevant β ∈ [10%, 40%] window, **ST-Lite** consistently outperforms all existing compression baselines — matching or exceeding Full Cache task accuracy on the primary backbone at the 20% budget — while delivering up to 2.35× decoding speedup at fivefold compression.

Computer-use agents (CUAs) increasingly operate in runtimes that combine visual desktop control, command-line execution, code editing, browsers, and external tools. Existing benchmarks, however, often evaluate these interfaces as separable capabilities, leaving long-horizon cross-interface orchestration under-tested. Thus, we introduce **WeaveBench**, a long-horizon hybrid-interface benchmark with 114 tasks across 8 real-world work domains, grounded in real user requests and publicly verifiable artifacts. Each task requires agents to combine GUI observations/actions with CLI/code operations within a single trajectory. We evaluate these tasks on a real Ubuntu desktop inside deployed CLI-agent runtimes, augmented with a minimal desktop-control plugin. We also propose a companion trajectory-aware judge that inspects deliverables, files, screenshots, logs, and action traces, while detecting shortcut behaviors such as fabricated visual evidence or hard-coded metrics. Across frontier model-runtime pairings, the best PassRate reaches only 41.2%, showing the benchmark remains far from saturated. The trajectory-aware judge further reveals that outcome-only grading substantially overestimates agent performance. Overall, **WeaveBench** exposes a critical gap in CUA evaluation and provides an effective testbed to measure whether agents can orchestrate GUI, CLI, and code operations across long-horizon real-world tasks.
