NotebookLM keeps chat history server-side per notebook, so a fresh browser session can already have prior messages in the DOM. Its virtualized chat list also leaves stale, off-screen message nodes matching RESPONSE_SELECTORS positioned after the live messages in DOM order. Picking elements[-1] therefore returned the same old answer regardless of the new question asked. Fix selects the response by visual position (largest bounding-box Y, i.e. bottom-most on screen, where NotebookLM auto-scrolls the newest message) instead of DOM order, and adds a pre-submit baseline check that waits for a genuinely new response before polling for stability.
