Greptile Summary

This PR changes the two local type aliases ChainablePromiseElement and ChainablePromiseArray from direct import('webdriverio').* references to ReturnType<WebdriverIO.Browser['$']> and ReturnType<WebdriverIO.Browser['$$']> respectively. The motivation is to anchor these types to the consumer's currently active WebdriverIO global namespace rather than a separately-resolved webdriverio module import, fixing extends check failures that surfaced in Jest playgrounds when a conflicting webdriverio version was present.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge — the change is a targeted, well-motivated type-only fix with no runtime impact.

Only P2 findings present. The approach is sound and the PR description clearly explains the motivation. The one concern (ReturnType on overloaded methods) is a latent fragility rather than a present bug.

No files require special attention.
