Research direction
Investigate the hanging behavior after clicking an element. Look for any ongoing or previous discussions in the issue comments. Check the WebdriverIO source code, particularly the devtool and browser.getMetrics implementation. Consider if there are any async race conditions or missing error handling. Reproduce with a minimal test case if possible. Refer to similar issues or PRs in the repository.
