On Greenhouse job-board forms (job-boards.greenhouse.io), attaching a resume triggers async parsing that re-renders the form and clears text inputs filled earlier, even ones filled in the same batch of tool calls. Upload the resume first, wait about 2-3 seconds, then fill the text fields, and verify by reading input values afterwards. Their react-select dropdowns ignore synthetic keydown/mousedown on the control. A real CDP click on the combobox opens the menu, and dispatching mousedown/mouseup/click on the matching .select__option selects it. Clicking the next combobox right after a selection sometimes times out, so retry those.
