PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
General	Fix incorrect return type documentation to properly indicate a list return type The return type description for find_elements() incorrectly states "WebElement" instead of "List[WebElement]". Update to accurately reflect that it returns a list. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/shadowroot.py [103-104] Returns: ------- - WebElement - list of `WebElements` matching locator strategy found on the page. + List[WebElement] + List of `WebElement` objects matching the locator strategy found on the page. Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: The suggestion addresses an important documentation error where the return type is incorrectly documented as WebElement instead of List[WebElement], which could lead to incorrect usage of the API.	8
	Update example code to use correct class context instead of incorrect driver reference The example in the docstring shows driver.find_element() but should show shadowroot.find_element() since this is a ShadowRoot class method. Update the example to reflect the correct context. py/selenium/webdriver/remote/shadowroot.py [59-61] Example: -------- - element = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'foo') + element = shadowroot.find_element(By.ID, 'foo') Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a misleading example that could confuse users. Using driver.find_element() in ShadowRoot's documentation is incorrect and should be shadowroot.find_element() to accurately reflect the class context.	7
