Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided Puppeteer flow in CodeceptJS 3.6, focusing on switchTo, within, and waitForElement with the supplied iframe selectors. Compare the behavior with CodeceptJS 3.4.1 and add regression coverage when the failure is isolated; done means the iframe input selectors resolve and the supplied sequence completes.

Description

What are you trying to achieve?

After update codeceptjs, I can't get input in iframe. I just try using switchTo and within. My code work on codecept 3.4.1

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.
