fix: test

When a user clicks a child element inside a button or div matched by
a CSS selector action (e.g. clicking the <svg> or <span> inside
<button class=my-btn>), event.target is the child, not the button.

Previously, evaluateNoCodeConfigClick() only called:
  targetElement.matches(selector)

This returned false for child elements even though an ancestor matched,
silently dropping the click action.

Fix: resolve matchedElement by trying direct .matches() first, then
falling back to .closest(cssSelector) to find the nearest ancestor.
Only if neither matches does the function return false.

Also moved innerHtml check to use matchedElement instead of the raw
click target, so element attributes are read from the correct node.

Regression tests added for:
- Child <span> click inside a matched button → now triggers correctly
- Child with no matching ancestor → still returns false
- Direct target click → closest() not called (fast path preserved)
