Upwork: What Information Does an Employer Get?

Good day,
I have been working on upwork for a long time and all the time I assumed that the employer receives the following information about my activities: screen shot, number of active minutes, number of mouse clicks and keystrokes.
Today, when trying to run upwork-client through the terminal, I received an error related to browser_main_loop and a natural question arose: "What does upwork want from the browser, what metrics does it collect from it?".
I don’t really want to spend time trying to figure this out at the technology level, because I’m sure that among us there are people who practice working on upwork as employers and can accurately answer the question: what information does the employer receive about my activity?

In fact, this is a heavily stripped-down Chromium with a body kit from the UI, native libraries for screen recording and more. It does not need anything from an already running browser, and, fortunately, it stores its state separately.
