Codeceptjs version > 3.5.8 - Throws DataCloneError when I.executeScript command is used with run-workers (multiple browser parallel execution)

[myrepojuly]

What are you trying to achieve?

In my application, there are several ReactJS fields for which we utilize the executeScript command to assign values. While this process functions correctly in a non-parallel execution environment, it encounters issues when executed in parallel.

**Note: this works fine with codeceptjs versions lesser than 3.5.8 (Example, with 3.5.6 this error does not occur).
Command to run the test
npx codeceptjs run-workers 2 profile1 --verbose
**

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

Error processing test.after event:
DataCloneError: function (name, func, attachToElement = false, proto, instances) {
            const customCommand = typeof com...<omitted>... } could not be cloned.
