| Parameter  | Type             | Required | Description                                                                                                  |
| ---------- | ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `selector` | `str` / `string` | No       | CSS selector for the `<select>` element.                                                                     |
| `value`    | `str` / `string` | No       | The option value to select.                                                                                  |
| `prompt`   | `str` / `string` | No       | Natural language description of the dropdown and the option to select.                                       |
| `ai`       | `str` / `string` | No       | Controls AI behavior. `"fallback"` (default) tries the selector first, then AI. `None` / `null` disables AI. |
| `**kwargs` |                  | No       | Standard Playwright select options (e.g., `timeout`, `force`).                                               |

Returns `list[str]` / `string[]` -- the selected option values.
