Closes #2338
Adds a
waitForStableDomparameter toevaluate_script(defaulttrue). Passingfalseskips just the stable DOM wait inwaitForEventsAfterAction()– the navigation probe and dialog handling stay, so a script that unexpectedly navigates is still awaited (and the navigation reported), and analert()is still auto-handled. Both eval paths (page and service worker) pass the flag through.Read-only evals drop from ~205ms to ~103ms on quiet pages, and from ~3.1s to ~103ms on pages that never go quiet – numbers and repro in #2338.
This is the branch the issue promised – I see #2344 beat me to posting, so take whichever is easier to review. Differences here: complete
npm run genartifacts (tool_call_metrics.json+chrome-devtools-cli-options.ts, so check-docs passes), a skip test that spiesWaitForHelper.prototype.waitForStableDom(fails if the helper ignores the flag, not only if the option isn't passed through), and a test pinning the safety property – a script that navigates with the flag off still gets its navigation awaited and reported.
