Pull request #11978: cypress: avoid async check
Author: login: eszkadev
Created: 2025-05-19T16:44:20Z | Merged: 2025-05-21T07:15:48Z

```
cypress: avoid async check for clipboard
    
    We use clipboard to fetch the document content in many places.
    Unfortunately when we do doIFWriter or similar - we invoke async
    checks. So there is a race if we just after that try to type
    something else...
    
    We need a barrier at the end of the function to prevent above.
    I'm wondering if it is not enough to use it instead specialized
    functions for different app. But let's keep it as it also check
    some structure inside.
```
------
```
cypress: restore impress/undo_redo_spec.js
    
    - fix fails caused by async checks in the parallel execution with
    typing
    
    - for now add safe waits to check if it is stable on CI
```

Reviews:
user: login: vmiklos
body: The end state looks good to me. I guess the lesson learned is: don't try to be too smart, just spell out asserts as is, or in a sync function call, not via callbacks.

This also helps with the test log when the test fails, so the source code location is useful info, even without seeing a backtrace.
state: APPROVED

body: It recovered tests, have deterministic testing of clipboard content (no async check at random time)
but.. This is temporary state - added waits to cover current issues on mobile where DocModified message breaks the flow.
Has to be fixed in the followup.
