Consultation on selecting the select option in the Botasaurus library in Python

I need to look at your code and test it. I am superficially familiar with Botasaurus, but I am well acquainted with Selenium, and since Botasaurus uses Selenium under the hood, the issue with selecting options is not new. I need to look at the code, test it, and check.

The problem with Botasaurus is that its latest version uses the CDP protocol, which may have limitations when working with select elements. The main actions that can be tried to resolve this:

1. **Direct interaction via JavaScript**: even if previous attempts through JS were unsuccessful, it might be worth trying more precise approaches to selecting options.
```python
script = """
document.querySelector('select#size-selector').value = 'desired-size';
document.querySelector('select#material-selector').value = 'desired-material';
"""
browser.execute_script(script)
… ```

2. **Check element visibility**: if Botasaurus uses the CDP protocol, the elements may not be displayed or may be hidden. It is necessary to ensure that the options are visible and available for clicks.

3. **Bypass through click emulation**: manually emulate key presses via CDP to select the desired values.

4. **Switch to Selenium**: if Botasaurus encounters limitations with the new version, consider using Selenium for this stage. Direct control over the WebDriver will allow everything to be done by clicking on the elements.

We can try these options to solve the problem, which will likely help fix the current situation.
