Description of the bug

When interacting with the page (e.g., clicking a button) and attempting to use take_snapshot to capture and analyze the updated content, the snapshot fails to reflect the changes unless the page is reloaded.

Reproduction

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the application/page.

Perform an action that updates the page content (e.g., click a button).

Call take_snapshot to capture the updated state.

Attempt to analyze the snapshot.

Expected Result:
The snapshot should capture the current state of the page after the interaction, without requiring a page reload.

Actual Result:
The system returns the error:
No snapshot found. Use take_snapshot to capture one.
or continues to use the previous snapshot, ignoring recent changes.

Additional Context:
This issue occurs specifically when updates are made dynamically (without a full page reload). It suggests that the snapshot mechanism may not be detecting or capturing DOM updates triggered by client-side interactions.
