When using Oracle in browser mode, prompts would be correctly injected into ChatGPT's textarea—you could see the text appear—but then nothing would happen. Oracle would hang indefinitely, waiting for a response that never came because the send button was never actually triggered. The root cause: ChatGPT's React-based UI doesn't respond to simple `.click()` calls. React's synthetic event system requires the full pointer/mouse event sequence (pointerdown → mousedown → pointerup → mouseup → click) to properly trigger event handlers. The codebase already uses this pattern for the "Answer now" button, but `attemptSendButton` was still using `.click()`. Changes: - Update `attemptSendButton` to dispatch the full mouse event sequence - Add InputEvent dispatch after setting editor.textContent so React/ProseMirror recognizes the injected text

Thanks, love a focussed commit with a great message. I'll test this and do a new release soon. Also might extract this into a helper, seems a good idea for any click. |
